Thousands of sickened 9/11 recovery workers whose legal claims have been barred because of missed deadlines can now join a massive group suing New York City under a law signed by Gov. David A. Paterson, officials said.
The law immediately allows more than 3,000 Ground Zero workers to revive lawsuits that were thrown out by a federal judge in July on the technical ground that they were not filed within 90 days of the workers’ conditions being diagnosed.
It will also allow new lawsuits from an untold number of workers who never even filed claims.

“I knew right away they’d need ironworkers to cut through those collapsed beams,” he recalled.
Picurro joined thousands of hardhats who showed up at Ground Zero that first night. They helped retrieve bodies, battle flames and clear debris.
Along with the cops, firefighters and other emergency responders, they were lauded as heroes then. Their selfless actions gave us solace and hope amid all that grief.
They did not know then about the toxic soup of chemicals in the dust and in the air. Federal and city health officials downplayed any danger at the time. They even dared tell the public the air was safe to breathe.
Now, Joe Picurro, 42, is dying. His family is destitute and his faith in our country’s leaders has been shattered.
The list of ailments ravaging his body is stunning.

This is real old news for some of us. Don’t forget that on September 18th, 2001 Christine Todd Witman stated publicly that the air was safe to breathe. It was later revealed that the NSA had direct control over the EPAs press releases. However by Christine Witman saying those words she is a direct accomplice in the crime of premeditated murder. Hundreds have now died from their health failures due to those lies. Tens of thousands of people have had their health and lives negatively affected as well. The stark reality is mainstream news will not expand on this issue because the eventual question will be “how did 267 stories of concrete and steel get to be so small that it would pass through their airways and lungs and literally into their blood cells?” (If you don’t know the answer, click here and here…also here) What, you didn’t know survivors of 9/11 still want a new investigation? -ed

NEW YORK – Researchers say a small number of young law enforcement officers who participated in the World Trade Center rescue and cleanup operation have developed an immune system cancer.
The numbers are tiny, and experts don’t know whether there is any link between the illnesses and toxins released during the disaster.
But doctors who coordinated the study, published Monday in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, said people who worked at the site should continue to have their health monitored.
“What we are trying to get out there is: Be alert,” said Dr. Jacqueline M. Moline, director of the World Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
