Health advisories for New Yorkers
- New York Committee on Occupational Health
and Safety resource page
Detailed information on continuing health risks
in lower Manhattan related to the attack and what
you can do to protect yourself
Includes specific recommendations for face masks
and respirators for anyone involved in cleaning
an apartment or business in the area. Also
includes information on government relief programs
for those effected.
- Independent tests done on dust from the WTC collapse
show elevated levels of asbestos and fiberglass
- Misinformation from city, state, and federal health
officials repeated by the New York Times
"Generally, the biggest risk posed by those substances would be to
people who have a heightened sensitivity to chemicals, Dr. Siegel
said. He said that one of the lowest risks would be from inhaling
asbestos fibers, if any were released when the towers fell."
- FAA Advisory Circular
Depleted uranium was once used in
commercial aircraft construction. Guidelines
for its safe handling at crash sites
are published by the FAA. Originally
noted by Brasscheck on 9/13/01, there
has still be no public dislosure on
Law enforcement and intelligence failures
- The World Trade Center towers, when built,
were exempted from normal New York City building
and fire codes because the owner was a government
agency, the Port Authority.
Fire, not impact, seems to be the main culprit
in the collapse of the towers.
The towers were going to come down, no question, but
the issue is when? How much longer could they have remained
standing had they been built to code?
"Mr. McMullin noted that the Empire State Building withstood the impact of a World War II bomber which plowed into it in a dense fog in 1945. The difference this time, he believes, may have been the size of the fires generated by the impacts."
If the Port Authority had not been granted
an exemption from these long established New York
City building and fire codes, it is likely
that thousands more people, including hundreds
of firemen, would have survived the September 11
Terrorists attacked the building, but it was
corrupt New York officials who created the
condition by which the buildings could collapse
Read the code
"All new high rise buildings in NYC should be
constructed under the 1938 building code,
requiring all structural steel to be insulated
by several inches of concrete and plaster.
All components must be able to withstand
fire and heat at elevated temperatures
for four hours. This would provide ample
time for evacuation and mitigate the total
collapse of the structure."

- Relief efforts
Many of the people killed in the World Trade Center
were undocumented aliens working at low wage jobs.
It is difficult for the families of these people to apply for
and receive assistance. My guess is that thousands of working poor
families in NYC either lost a breadwinner or are otherwise without an
income as a result of the destruction of their workplace.
We have found one group, a Catholic run charity that specializes
in outreach to Mexican immigrants in New York that is taking
an active role in finding and helping these individuals.
Contributions to this organization are fully tax deductible.
It's called The Tepeyac Association
of New York.
If you know of any other groups that are doing this kind of
relief work, please write
us with the details. Thanks.

How private citizens who rescued a NYFD fire boat from
the scrap heap played an essential role in providing
water to World Trade Center area firefighters during
the critical first 36 hours after the attack before severed
water mains could be repaired.
In 1998, the KLA, supported by Islamist terrorist organizations
including the Osama bin Laden, initiated a terror war against civilians
and civil authorities in the Yugoslavian province of Kosovo. The
US and NATO took the side of the KLA and initiated a bombing
campaign against Yugoslavia targeting oil refineries, chemical
plants, manufacturing plants and food processing facilities.

Resist the attack on our civil liberties
Perennially regressive elements of the United States government
have seized on the catastrophe of September 11 to push their
pet schemes for limiting the freedom of Americans through
Congress. Many of the proposed laws do nothing to improve the
security of Americans but do much to undermine our basic
