There are serious concerns about the demolition of a building near ground zero. Some 9/11 families believe more human remains may be in the building, after hundreds were discovered in the last week and a half.

The building is located right across from 7 World Trade on West Broadway between Barclay and Murray Streets.

Fiterman Hall is owned by Manhattan Community College and they say they have a plan to deal with the toxins and to look for human remains. However, people down here don't have much faith in that plan.

Fiterman Hall is on the periphery of ground zero but it was blanketed by the same toxic dust that most observers believe has caused so many health problems in Lower Manhattan and it was damaged with 7 World Trade Center collapsed.

Everyone agrees that the building needs to be demolished, but not everyone agrees how.

Jenna Orkin, community activist: "This is a highly astronomically contaminated building ... they've been exposed already by 9/11, they were lied to, they were reassured and patronized ... seems to be happening all over again."

You can add to the toxicity the fact that no one has ever searched the building really for human remains. 9/11 family members say current plans for that search are inadequate.
