In a series of public statements (click here) issued after the terrorist attacks of
September 11, 2001, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) assured
the people of New York that the air around ground zero was safe to
breathe. Unfortunately, the agency lacked authoritative information on
which to base these claims, and internal agency data conflicting with
this reassuring public posture were ignored. The EPA's press releases
and public statements after 9/11 were vetted by then-National Security
Advisor Condoleezza Rice, suggesting that the White House placed
politics over science when communicating about ground zero's air
quality. Tragically, the impact of this public deception continues to be
felt by thousands of rescue workers now plagued by chronic and
crippling lung ailments....
The hour long video departs from the 911 workers, BUT, the Wall Street folks had no problem getting their money for their losses, neither did the families. There was only a handful of families that filed lawsuits against the airlines for negligence of their passengers. I haven't kept up with that outcome. The only thing different between the families and Wall Street outcomes are lawyers. The 911 Heroes were given a title, but, no recognition of their health problems.
