On It!

Con Ed discovers that it inadvertently carted off human remains from Ground Zero and stored them at one of its work sites in Chelsea:

Additional human remains have been found more than five years after the September 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.

The remains were discovered yesterday at a Con Edison work location in Chelsea, where authorities believe they were accidentally transferred from the trade center site.

“Con Edison moved some debris from the World Trace Center site to their location at Eleventh Avenue and 29th Street,” a spokesman for the Medical Examiner’s Office, Ellen Borakove, said. “We confirmed they did, in fact, have human remains.”

Ms. Borakove said she did not know how many remains were found, as investigators are still in the preliminary stage of an investigation. It also was unclear when the debris was moved from Lower Manhattan, or who moved it.

A spokesman for Con Edison, Chris Olert, declined to comment on the finding. He said the Chelsea location is used as a work-out station, where employees pick up vehicles and equipment.
