New York Police have found part of the landing gear of what is believed to be one of jets flown into the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001.
The piece - including a clearly visible Boeing identification number - was found wedged between two New York City buildings, police said.
It was found on Wednesday by surveyors inspecting a lower Manhattan building.

The New York Police Department has secured the area behind 51 Park Place and 50 Murray Street as a crime scene.

(10,814 posts)That was one of the reasons why there was so much outrage - it was "sacred" because it was damaged in 9/11 and now they were turning it into a mosque...

(15,189 posts)Which the FAA does for EVERY downed plane except for those involved in 9/11. Amazing. We at least should of had one reconstruction with the Pa plane. LOL! But no, we Americans don't deserve it I guess. We just have to take their word. But it works, a lot of people believe their stupid story. Even that pathetic feel good story of flight 93. Let's roll. LOL!

(6,283 posts)...the Boeing number plate. Can't imagine most folks would see that and jump to the "plane part" conclusion. Maybe in that neighborhood ? Don't know.

Does this mean CS will be allowed out of the dungeon like the crazy gunners?

(62,444 posts)In DU3 the dungeon was eliminated and we got "Creative Speculation". The problem is that it has been decided by the hosts that "don't go too far into crazy town" in the TOS applied to CS, so all the nutters stay away from it, and only pop up out of their holes in GD like groundhogs in February.
