this seems to be true as it was reported by the 9/11 commission:Quote from Rearden Metal:
Serious question here: Is it true that the government actually claimed to have found the 9/11 hijackers' passports in the rubble of ground zero? I have an open mind here- I'd really like to know if this is or isn't an urban legend.
Four of the hijackersâ passports have survived in whole or in part. Two were recovered from the crash site of United Airlines Flight 93 in Pennsylvania. One belonged to a hijacker on American Airlines Flight 11. A passerby picked it up and gave it to an NYPD detective shortly before the World Trade Center towers collapsed. A fourth Staff Statement No. 1 2 passport was recovered from luggage that did not make it from a Portland flight to Boston onto the connecting flight, which was American Airlines Flight 11.
