my mom is a respiratory therapist & as we watched the events unfold one of the first things she said was how all the emergency response teams & clean up workers were all going to have serious medical issues & how they needed to be cared for & how she could & would help. she named nearly every medical problem all that dust & debris has caused as we watched the towers fall. i could only grasp the momentary horrors & thought of all the people inside & around the towers. my mom was affected on another level, she saw the tragic long term effects the instant those towers were hit.
As someone who volunteered at ground zero did you take the statements made by Christine Todd Whitman (EPA) to be truthful at the time? If so, how did you feel once it was uncovered that those statements were false?
As a New Yorker I sincerely thank you! I will never forget the stench and melancholy of the city in the days and even months following. I can't imagine the things you witnessed and all that you are dealing with now. If you ever need anything don't hesitate to ask. Our great city owes you a great deal and I hope you are getting all the benefits you deserve.
