Rescue workers at the World Trade Center site paused again Wednesday morning as the remains of five more victims were carried out.
Sources say one body is that of a New York City police officer and two others are Port Authority police officers.
Workers at the site, which now goes seven stories below ground, lined up along the ramp to the ground level as each body, draped in an American flag, was carried in a procession to a waiting ambulance.
The medical examiner will now use DNA to try to identify the bodies.
After weeks of finding little but more steel and debris, crews started finding more remains last week as they reached the crushed lobby and basement levels of the south tower, the first to collapse September 11.
According to the city’s latest official tally, 2,830 people died when the twin towers collapsed. The medical examiner has identified 786 victims, and 1,886 death certificates have been issued without a body, leaving 158 people listed as missing.
