Officials Wanted More Recovery Efforts at WTC

This article is about 9/11. This week, investigators have found more than 100 pieces of human remains belonging to those who died on 9/11. Several officials said in 2002, when they were wrapping up work, that things were moving too fast. The city was eager to to finish the job and clean up all the debris. Lt. John McArdle said, "I knew this was going to happen-they really wanted us out of there. There was not a good exit strategy for some of these places, and if there was, it was poorly done." Officials believe that more of the dead could be found, and that they city shouldn't be rushing such an important task, but they were overruled.

This news has saddened relatives of the 9/11 victims. Because of the 2749 people killed that day, remainsof some 1150 people have not been found. And so 40% of the victims families have nothing left of their loved one.
