Ceremony Ends WTC Remains Search

Workers and victims' family members gathered Monday at a Staten Island landfill to mark the end of a grueling and emotional 10 months for the search of human remains from the collapsed World Trade Center.

``We see the best and the worst,'' Mayor Michael Bloomberg said, standing a few feet from a heaping mound of debris at the Fresh Kills landfill. ``We are here because of the worst of humanity, the terrorists who caused so many deaths and so much pain.''

``We will not forget 2,800 people who died ... to make this the best country in the world,'' said Bloomberg, who also praised the recovery workers for helping ``to give us some closure.''
