Oh, please. As terrible as it sounds, there have to be remains of the victims all over Manhattan. There's no way to recover everything. Those who worked to recover remains did the very best they could at the time. All of this complaining is uncalled for.

They obviously didn't do it on purpose! Take your anger out on the perpetrators, not New York!

That's why it should be left as a permanent memorial garden instead of building commercial buildings on it again. Imagine someone coming in and building a skyscraper at Arlington.Arlington National Cemetary was designed as an insult and intentional slap at the Confederacy. In case you're unaware of the former owner of that property, it was General Robert E. Lee (well, actually his wife). While the property was initially confiscated by the government, the SCOTUS eventually held that it had been taken without due process, and the ownership of the property was granted to a decendant of General Lee. Eventually, he sold it back to the government.
Remember, that the WTC was private property. Making it a "permanant memorial garder" would in effect be stealing some of the most expensive property on the face of the earth. Or would have have the government buy it?

The airlines couldn't find room in the budget for air marshalls. Now the American taxpayer is paying for that. Why should I subsidize safety for something I don't use? ...corporatists are worse then communists.True, people who don't fly shouldn't have to subsidize onboard marshalls.
That said, I'm betting these airline companies pay out alot more in taxes then they receive.
To: olde north church
The airlines WERE responsible for the safety of passengers who paid to travel on that mode of transportation. If the airplane dropped an engine or a wing fell off, the airlines would be responsible. The airlines were negligent in providing a reasonable level of protection. This wasn't the first time an airline had been hijacked, the risk existed. The airlines couldn't find room in the budget for air marshalls. Now the American taxpayer is paying for that. Why should I subsidize safety for something I don't use? You corporatists are worse then communists.
The Airlines were victims of the Muslims. People who used to own three airplanes no longer do. The Airline was doing what it contracted with the passengers to do, move them from one place to another. The Muslims broke the law, did wrong and are the ones responsible for what happened. Bleeding hearts moping along looking for deep pockets to sue, are a plague on society along with the terrorist.
Cars get hijacked occasionally, it is a known threat, and can happen anywhere, even to a safety conscious person. Of course you would hold the car owner responsible, and never the car jacker.
Congress should of passed a law protectecting the airlines from frivolous law suits, because the terrorist are to blame, and should not of paid off the 9/11 families if they agreed to to sue.
As far as subsidizing the airline industry goes, we could deal with a lot less subsidizers of Farmers, Airlines, Steel Makers ...

In addition to recovering all the remains, I'd like to see a HUGE memorial to the defenseless souls who were murdered by the muslim barbarians. Not gonna happen. Don't forget that the memorial to Flight 93 is already an Islamist shrine replete with a Mecca-pointing red crescent. And the 9/11 memorial is already shaping up to be an America-bashing multi-culti venue that does everything short of demanding our honored dead convert to Islam.

Take your anger out on the perpetrators, not New York! Personally, I have a hard time getting worked up over anything detrimental to New York anymore. After suffering the brunt of the terrorist attack on 9/11, those clowns still went Democrat in 2004 and continue to be a liberal hellhole that can't wait to bend over and take it up the tailpipe for the Islamic Jihad. To hell with them.

Have you read about the potential collapse of Ground Zero's bathtub? If not and you'd like, I'll provide you links to who says they could have collapsed and what that would have caused.

They just left paved over fill taken from Ground Zero unchecked for remains and declared the recovery operation over. That is not acceptable in the America I live in.You should see some of the churches they have in Europe:
When the graveyards fill up, they dig up all the remains and put them in an ossuary, sometimes making sculptures out of them.

There are still sailor's bodies trapped in the USS Arizona in Pearl Harbor. Should we salvage it so that we can retrieve the bodies or is it best left there as a monument to those who gave their lives so that we can be free?

I agree with everything you said.
There comes a time when you just have to make a choice to move ahead; if you don't, you end up becoming a "Jersey Girl" and your life will be destroyed.

Sorry. I'm from PA, male, and actually for America. No chance of any of that changing in this life and I believe this one is all I get.

We should build the towers back exactly as they were but one story higher. 111 stories.
