Your gov't cares - 9/11 victims buried in garbage dump

Landfill remains grave to 9/11 ash


By Charles Laurence
LONDON TELEGRAPH


NEW YORK — The remains of hundreds of victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks are to be permanently buried in the world's largest garbage dump, to the consternation of their grieving families.

Relatives were assured that the ashes resulting from the fireball would be returned to the World Trade Center. Then they would form part of a planned memorial after being sorted from the half-million tons of debris from the Twin Towers that was taken to the Fresh Kills landfill site on Staten Island.

~~~~~~~~

"We were promised the remains — any and all remains of the victims — and now we discover that my lost son is to spend eternity in a rubbish dump," said Diane Horning, whose son Matthew, 24, died in the North Tower, where he worked for the insurance company Marsh and McLennan. "This is morally reprehensible and emotionally unacceptable, and we are going to fight it all the way."

~~~~~~~~

However, Mrs. Horning is enraged by suggestions that it will be a "symbolic" cemetery. "Only if my son is 'symbolically' dead," she says. "But if he's really dead then I really want him buried."

4. On another topic, this woman needs to work for us.
However, Mrs. Horning is enraged by suggestions that it will be a "symbolic" cemetery. "Only if my son is 'symbolically' dead," she says. "But if he's really dead then I really want him buried."

7. Does it ever end?
Sometimes words just can't express my disgust at this administration. My heart breaks for these family members, history will not look too kindly on the crimes committed during the past 4 years.
