Plane Passenger Remains ID'd From 9/11

New DNA testing has identified human remains recovered years ago from the World Trade Center wreckage as a flight attendant and passenger from American Airlines Flight 11, the first hijacked plane to crash on Sept. 11, 2001.
Remains of a third victim also have been identified, but his family asked that his name not be released, the city's medical examiner's office announced Wednesday.
The newly identified remains had been with the medical examiner's office for years, but even now, human bones are still being found at the site as construction begins at ground zero on the planned Freedom Tower.
The city announced Wednesday that it plans to hire up to 10 more forensic anthropologists to join the search for additional human remains, a project that could stretch well into next year, Deputy Mayor Ed Skyler said Wednesday.
