World Trade Center
NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 30: A police officer stands guard of a building on Park Place in lower Manhattan where a piece of one of the planes destroyed in the September 11 attacks has been discovered on April 30, 2013 in New York City. The Medical Examiners office is searching the area for human remains. The part of the plane, a support structure from a trailing edge flap found on the wing of a Boeing 767, was discovered wedged between a mosque site and luxury high-rise apartment building, about three blocks north from the World Trade Center site.
