Officials remove a plane part that was discovered wedged between an apartment building and a mosque in New York Wednesday. Authorities believe the plane part is from one of the two hijacked airliners that brought down the World Trade Center towers on Sept. 11, 2001. The part, which weighs about 250 pounds, was found in a space less than 24 inches wide, about 2.5 blocks from where the World Trade Center stood. Officials said no potential human remains have been found at the site.
