Why is this hard for me to believe? And what are the odds that this has never been discovered in the 11 and a half years since it happened? Don't people walk through alleyways in Manhattan anymore? Perhaps not tourists, but I would think someone does, if not a "bad element."And yet, no one ever noticed this before?
Hmm. No, not suspicious at all.
And, please note that Boeing could only confirm that the part came from a Boeing plane, and not that it came from a specific Boeing plane.
But, please read on.
NEW YORK (AP) — A rusted piece of airplane landing gear discovered wedged between two New York City buildings has been confirmed as coming from the type of Boeing jet used to destroy the nearby World Trade Center on Sept. 11.
The American Airlines and United Airlines planes hijacked by Islamic extremists in 2001 were Boeing 767s.
Police said Saturday detectives have been in contact with officials at Chicago-based Boeing Co. who confirm the wreckage is from that kind of plane.
Workers discovered the landing gear part Wednesday wedged between a luxury apartment building and a mosque that in 2010 prompted virulent national debate about Islam and freedom of speech because it's just blocks from ground zero.
