Good job, Mr. Z!

To this day the remains of hundreds of innocent victims of the September 11 attacks are still sickeningly buried in the world's largest rubbish dump, on Staten Island, where it has been decalred by New York officials that they will stay for ever. Officials, citing financial constraints, have refused to make any concessions and wish to leave those victims to rot in the ground with acres of stinking trash.
The English news report Remains of 9/11 victims 'to spend eternity' in city rubbish dump | Usa | North America | International News | News | Telegraph says â?? hundreds of innocent victimsâ?, and the firemansâ?? union (IAFF) quote was â??thousands of citizens, hundreds of firefightersâ? . Which is it?

When youâ??re dealing with municipal unions in New York City, and most everywhere else, politics comes into play - as it does here. That union had problems with Rudy well before 9/11.

What else are we supposed to do with half a million tons? Nobody has made a better suggestion.
