Part of 9/11 Plane's Landing Gear Found in NYC

NEW YORK (AP) — A 5-foot-tall piece of landing gear believed to be from one of the planes destroyed in the Sept. 11 attacks has been discovered wedged between a mosque site and another building near the World Trade Center.

The part includes a clearly visible Boeing identification number, New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said Friday. The twisted, rusted metal part has cables and levers on it and is about 3 feet wide and 1.5 feet deep.

The piece of equipment was discovered Wednesday by surveyors inspecting the lower Manhattan site of a planned Islamic community center, at 51 Park Place, on behalf of the building's owner, police said. The inspectors called 911, and police secured the scene, documenting it with photos.

    I believe it was found years ago and stashed by mosque patrons to eventually become a symbol of their pride for the attack.

    This is old news... the reason the mosque wanted to be built there was because they build them in victory spots and having that piece of plane was going to be a trophy.

    old news.

    To hell with all Muslims. The Koran basically says to kill all non Muslims. The only way you can tell a Muslim apart from a "radicalized" Muslim watching them on news reports
