NYT 9-11 Toxic Cloud Documentary to be aired on Discovery Channel tonight, also articles, videos on NYT website

[Guest guest]

There is a bunch of new articles and videos on the New York Times

website (free, registration with email address required)

and there is also going to be a documentary on Discovery Times Channel

tonight (and repeated many times over the next few weeks) on 9-11's

toxic legacy and its personal impact on those who were there,

especially the first responders.. who are now being left largely on

their own..

Many of these people are still battling for workmans comp and

insurance coverage.. Many of them are battling the city over workmans

comp benefits, or have lost jobs and health insurance coverage..

pensions, retirement benefits, etc.

Many will have lifelong health issues...

The government stood there and told everyone things were safe, when

they knew this to not be the case.. This enabled businesses to order

even non-essential, non-emergency people who had the misfortune of

working in the area 'back to work', in many cases without the

protective equipment that was in reality, needed to protect them..

And then, just recently, of course, the same thing happened again with

Hurricane Katrina...

So, with this in mind, the New York Times has done a very good job at

explaining this nightmare in a series of articles ( free registration

required at http://www.nytimes.com ) and this new documentary..

TONIGHT (and repeated throughout the weeks ahead) on the Discovery

Times Channel

A lot of the health, denial and compensation issues these people are

struggling with are remarkably similar to what we are struggling with

mold-related illness..
