A process that many New Yorkers (and New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin) find painstakingly slow seems to actually be going a little too fast. Five years after 9/11, dozens of bones have been discovered in various locations around the site of the fallen Twin Towers. A utility crew came across the most recent remains in an abandoned manhole at the edge of the site and forensic experts went on to find more than 100 bones and fragments. Out of the 2,759 people who were killed in the attacks, 1,150 have yet to be found. In 2002, as the city agency in charge of removing debris from the World Trade Center was finishing its work, several officials believed the job was being rushed. They allegedly voiced their concerns to the agency in charge, the Department of Design and Construction, which was subsequently commended on its fast and, incidentally, underbudget cleanup. Mystery solved!
