The facade of solidarity among the heroes collapses in dispute over ‘a new plan announced by city officials that would reduce the number of police, fire and emergency crew “spotters”–those who pinpoint possible human remains in the wreckage–at the World Trade Center site.

Debris that does not contain remains is carted away.’ LA Times
