The potential remains of six World Trade Center victims have been found as recovery workers continue to comb the site.
Four possible body parts were found in material dug up from under a service road, two others were found on the roof of a Cedar Street building.
The medical examiner's office will test the remains to verify the findings, which come a week after the city finished digging under West Street.
More than 2,700 cubic yards of debris will now be hand sifted for human remains.
Since the effort to search the Trade Center for human remains was renewed in October, more then 600 bones and fragments have been found in and around the site.
The city is also still searching a destroyed church and manholes around the site.
Nearly 1,100 victims of the terror attack have yet to be identified. |
