The FDNY was under pressure from City Hail, but perhaps this was just a rare lapse by « department that generally took meticuigus care, searching down to the tiniest grit in the floor or Tne The Pit indeed, the whole search effort was so careful that the city was able te return to a fire cap- tain’s family three coms de- termined to have traces of his DNA and therefore like- ly to have been in his pock- et when the north tower came down. To hold thase cos in your palm was to marvel at the devotion of all the actual searchers in thr PAPD, the NYPL and the FDNY.

The cop pointed toward West St. when asked where the remains had been found, but there was nothing there to indicate the precise loca- Tie. What was evident was an expanse of as- phalt and pavement that some feel has still not been property excavated and searched, The rush was likely due in part to ihe get- t-done spirit that drives most, if nat all bi construction jobs Maybe the rush also na a bit of the prizefighter who needs to show he «$ okay after being knocked dawn in the fing.
