Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

New York City Resumes Search for Human Remains in 9/11 Debris

HeadlineApr 02, 2013

More than 11 years after the September 11 attacks, the New York City medical examiner’s office is resuming its search for human remains in debris collected from around the World Trade Center site. Of the more than 2,700 people who died at the World Trade Center, only about 1,600 have been identified. Some relatives, including Sally Regenhard, expressed frustration they have gone so long without the remains of their loved ones.

Sally Regenhard: “We really are calling for an inspector general to be placed in the OCME (Office of the Chief Medical Examiner) office to really oversee what is happening there and why, after 11 years, 1,000 people, including my son, firefighter Christian Regenhard, remain missing at the World Trade Center site.”
