Many of Those who worked the site are now....
dead from suicide/results of cleanup site
out of work with no healthcare
addicted to drugs
disabled
sick
homeless.
Now? they are being ignored by the media(who imo helped cover up the truth about 9-11), ignored by their government, and from what i can see, ignored by the majority of the population.

I worked a few blocks from the WTC site and avoided going in the streets of downtown NYC as much as possible for at least a month after 9/11 - but these workers were right in the thick of it. The streets around Ground Zero were blocked off, and lower Broadway was closed for a long time, to keep pedestrians away from the site. There were areas burning for weeks, or maybe longer. 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.
