New DNA testing has identified human remains recovered years ago from the World Trade Center wreckage to be those of a flight attendant and passenger from American Airlines Flight 11, the first hijacked plane to crash into a tower on September 11, 2001.

More bones believed to belong to September 11 World Trade Centre victims were found as New York continued searching underground areas that were apparently overlooked during the excavation years ago.

Director Oliver Stone has begun shooting one of the first Hollywood films about the September 11 2001 attacks in New York – without recreating the large-scale devastation all too familiar to people who lived through the outrage.
