Part of the landing gear from a passenger jet used in the September 11 attacks has been found behind the site of the controversial Ground Zero mosque. The piece of gear was wedged between the rear of 51 Park Place, the mosque site, and the building behind it, 50 Murray Street. Police will photograph the piece and the Medical Examiner will check the area for human remains. The aircraft part has a clearly visible Boeing identification number, police said. Surveyors hired by the owner of 51 Park Place made the find on Wednesday morning when they were working on the property. They called 911 to report what they believed was damaged machinery, cops said. Hijackers flew two jets into the twin towers at the World Trade Center on the morning of September 11, 2001.
