Kin: Let forensic experts
sift at WTC

Outraged families of firefighters who died in the 9/11 attacks demanded yesterday that the government let forensic anthropologists inspect the nearby Deutsche Bank building. In April, more than 600 human-bone fragments were found on the roof of the Deutsche Bank building. The remains of more than 1,000 World Trade Center victims have yet to be found. "My son's remains should not be under the jurisdiction of the LMDC [Lower Manhattan Development Corp.]," said angry mom Sally Regenhard, whose son, Christian, a firefighter with Ladder Company 131 in Brooklyn, died in the terror attack. Regenhard, who was joined by other 9/11 families and their supporters in a protest at Ground Zero, called the Deutsche Bank building "a tomb." Glenn Corbett, assistant professor of fire science at CUNY's John Jay College, criticized the current cleanup efforts being conducted by construction crews as a "rakes and shovel operation." The families have enlisted the aid of Richard Gould, a Brown University anthropology professor who helped recover human remains in the wake of a 2003 Rhode Island nightclub fire that killed 100 people. In a letter to Mayor Bloomberg, Gould said that the crews working inside the Deutsche Bank building "are simply not trained or equipped for this demanding work."
