Questions surrounding 9/11 safety procedures, or lack thereof, and the resulting health consequences from Ground Zero dust have been have been being raised almost since the dust cleared.
After being called out by Christie Whitman of the EPA, Giuliani tried to cover his ass by admitting that when it came to saftey procedures, “in retrospect, I guess we all should have done it differently.”
Mayor Bloomberg is on record on 9/11 illnesses admitting a direct correlation between the proximity of people working at Ground Zero and their illnesses saying, ” clearly, people who worked on the site . . . the closer they were, the more symptoms they have that are very troublesome.”
More than five years after 9/11 there were still so many toxins at Ground Zero that the continued search for remains had to be called off.
Now for the first time New York City’s chief medical examiner, Dr. Charles S. Hirsch, has directly linked a death to exposure to dust from the destruction of the World Trade Center.
In a letter made public yesterday, Dr. Hirsch said that he was certain “beyond a reasonable doubt” that dust from the twin towers contributed to the death of Felicia Dunn-Jones, 42, a civil rights lawyer who was engulfed on Sept. 11 as she ran from her office a block away from the trade center.
She later developed a serious cough and had trouble breathing, and she died five months after the terrorist attack.
Dunn-Jones wasn’t even a first responder or a worker who spent hours, days and weeks exposed to the dust just an innocent woman engulfed in the dust as she ran from her office. Just imagine what those men and women have been going through for the past six years.
Hopefully this will set off a chain of events that will help everyone effected by the toxic dust on 9/11 and at Ground Zero the help they need and deserve.
