About the Book
During the September 11 attacks, the collapse of the twin towers emitted a cloud of dust containing a number of toxic particles including asbestos. The people most affected by this toxic mix were the fire fighters, police officers, cleaners and volunteers. They worked the sites often with little to no protection at all, in the rubble or the neighboring buildings. Seven years on, a rough estimate of the casualties of this toxic gas is estimated at around 70 000 persons”.
The repercussions of such a tragedy were not only economic in nature but also had a sanitary consequences. A lot of victims have no access to Medicare or other forms of medical insurance and to top it off they received no aid from the United States government. The numbers of people crippled with debt or in precarious economic predicaments keeps rising.
This book is a collection of stories from fireworkers, police officers, social workers and clean-up workers having worked in ground zero during the six months after the attacks.
