    "At the Family Assistance Center, New York Police Department personnel interviewed friends and family members of victims, taking buccal swabs from family members"

    3000 people? Hardly one of the greatest tragedies of all time - unless you count using it as an excuse to turn the US into even more of a police state.

    Greatest tragedy of all time? You say that and AT THE SAME TIME say he hasn't got no sense for respect???

    What about the Holocaust YOU STUPID FUCKING PRICK!!!

    Less than 3000 people died, you must be joking.

    Each year there are earthquakes or floods which kill a *multiple* of 3000 people.

    You're fucking nuts, fuck you and the horse you rode on.

    And you wonder why America is hated so much.

    Just look in the mirror.
