This started as a much smaller opinion piece on “H.R.847 – James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010.” Obviously it turned into something else, a brief history maybe, but as always there is so much more…

“This is a time for reflection, not retribution.” – Barack Obama, 2009
Obama is no hero. Only after so many wrongs could the recently passed 9/11 Health legislation seem right.
The Twin Towers on 9/11, had they not been destroyed by demolitions, would have been a hard days work for the NYPD and NYFD; yet the fires would have been put out. In fact in many parts of the buildings the fires were put out, or going out. It is quite possible that the NYFD would have lost a few good men through the day fighting the fires inside the WTC on 9/11 had they had the chance to do so, maybe 10 to 15 firefighters even. But surely not hundreds, especially not a thousand.
343 of NY’s first responders were killed in the World Trade Center demolitions of 9/11/01. They were murdered along with thousands of civilians and no one responsible has gone to jail for those crimes.
The WTC demolition created a cloud of debris-turned-to-dust that covered the city of Manhattan streets, homes, schools and lungs of tens of thousands of people. This could not have happened without explosives and demolitions; volcanoes aside.
The month following 9/11 was so filled with mistakes, possible criminal intent, disinformation, and irresponsibility from the EPA and CEQ that I will just have to list some highlights below:
- September 11, 2001: Ground Zero Dust Sample Contains 4.5 Percent Asbestos – A dust sample is taken by EPA employees as they flee the collapsing buildings. The samples are later tested and found to contain an asbestos level of 4.5 percent.
- September 13, 2001: EPA Administrator Tells New York Residents near Ground Zero to ‘Wipe All Surfaces with a Damp Cloth’ - The recommendation is made despite two studies completed for the EPA in 1993 demonstrating that HEPA vacuums do not effectively remove asbestos from carpets and upholstery (see 1993) and that vacuuming actually increases asbestos levels in the air during use (see 1993).
- September 14, 2001: EPA Spokesman Says Business Can Resume Near Wall Street on Monday - “There’s nothing at this point that indicates that business can’t resume..”
