Several Sept. 11 victims’ relatives who hope to get a New York City-maintained list of next of kin for those killed in the attacks took their case before a judge yesterday. The family members oppose a plan to put about 9,000 unidentified pieces of remains underground in the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. They want the list compiled so families can be polled about the issue.
Family members were consulted and agreed to the arrangement, city and memorial officials and some other victims’ relatives have said. And releasing the list would violate families’ privacy, the city claims. The relatives maintain they were never consulted about the city’s plan to place the remains underground. The city and memorial foundation have said they conducted an extensive effort to include families in planning, and the plan for the remains has been known for years.
