Police have just found a sizable piece of one of the engines from a plane that crashed into the World Trade Center, more than 11 years after the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
The piece of landing gear was found wedged between two buildings just blocks from Ground Zero- in between the buildings at 51 Park Place and 50 Murray Street in downtown Manhattan.
The address is particularly noteworthy because 51 Park Place is the site of the Islamic Cultural Center that stirred up controversy and months of protests two years ago when the site developers wanted to turn it into a mosque.
Police have secured the alley where the landing gear was found and are treating it as a crime scene as they investigate the area, and decide whether or not to search for possible human remains near the engine.
'There was some surveying being done on the property line there,' NYPD deputy commissioner Paul Browne told CBS radio Friday afternoon.
'To the surveyors, it just looked like some damaged machinery of some kind but upon further examination it was identified as a Boeing, some part of a Boeing landing craft.'
