A rusted 5-foot-tall piece of landing gear believed to be from one of the hijacked planes destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks has been discovered near the World Trade Center wedged between a luxury apartment building and a mosque site that prompted virulent national debate about Islam and freedom of speech. The twisted metal part, jammed in a sliver of open space between the buildings, has cables and levers on it and is about 3 feet wide and 1.5 feet deep. It includes a clearly visible Boeing Co. identification number, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said Friday. "The odds of this being wedged between there is amazing," Browne said, adding it was not surprising that it went undiscovered for more than a decade given the location. "It had to have fallen just the right way to make it into that space." Other World Trade Center wreckage had been discovered at the buildings and around the area in years past. The piece of equipment was discovered Wednesday by surveyors inspecting the lower Manhattan site of a planned Islamic community center, at 51 Park Place, on behalf of the building's owner, police said. An inspector was on the roof and noticed the debris and then called 911. Police secured the scene, documenting it with photos. Police detectives and National Transportation Safety Board investigators will determine whether the equipment is from the American Airlines plane or the United Airlines plane that slammed into the twin towers on Sept. 11, 2001, destroying the towers and killing nearly 3,000 people.

At this stage, does it make much difference whether the debris is from the American plane or the United plane? Can we learn anything more of significance about the events of 9/11 from studying this piece of wreckage? I tend to think that the answers to both questions are "no."
About the only thing positive that may come out of this new discovery is more determined opposition to the construction of the proposed super-mosque, which ironically was planned for the same location where the debris was found.
Bump
The Almighty is trying to remind us who is responsible while the government does everything it can to dance around Islam...
BINGO!
Hussein Obozo would not be pleased that a UK newspaper was kind enough to remind us anyway!
I love the internet!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haha!

Excellent reference materials + free e-books and free audio books on the subject
Well, those of us from NYC and NJ certainly think that it still matters.
Excellent idea !
“It should be declared a national heritage site and off limits to all new development”
Hey it worked for Clinton and helping the Riady coal interests by shutting down half of Utah.
Elizabeth Warren could dress up in her “Native American” feathered & doe skin attire and do a dance for the tourists!
“...which ironically was planned for the same location where the debris was found.”
There is NO irony. No scarring was found on adjacent walls, ergo, the fragment of landing gear was placed there, most likely as a trophy.
Looking at the current prices for steel and aluminum at Vito’s Salvage and Scrap Metals in Jersey, I doubt if the one who placed it was holdng it as a nest egg.
