There was a big cloud, from the fires, over Manhattan for a very long time.

People were not thinking properly because of the shock and importance of rescue efforts. If they had realized the dangers, they all would have worn protective equipment. It is inexcusable that the authorities did not provide masks, or at least warned them about the dangers of exposure to the toxins.
Christine Whitman, head of the EPA(enviromental protection agency..aka...your government, and mine) said, "the air and water are fine"
not true.
Burning for weeks? thats sounds more like a chemical fire, not one of brick, steel, and plumbing. Thats sounds like a planned event.
My best friend works @ 120 wall Street and was on her way to Century 21 when our government attacked its people.
