I heard that slip and fall lawyers got involved and started getting disability payments for everybody who was near the towers..
Does anyone know if this is true?
I’ve heard similar — a huge slush fund for NYC employees who already have gold-plated Cadillac health care plans. Same as every veteran who even heard of Iraq or Afghanistan has PTSD and merits 100% disability. The Left making everyone a victim and requiring taxpayers foot the bill.
I saw that on Martha McCallum’s show yesterday. Those who were ‘near’ the towers have been claiming need and have been depleting the fund. Maybe it would behoove those awarding monies, to investigate the claims rather than just giving away money.
True there is an avalanche of ads on the radio in NY asking potential victims to seek redress. Some are very authentic like the one on 104.3 FM. The reality is that EPA boss Christy Todd Whitman told everyone ten days after 9/11 that it was safe, so businesses reopened and residents returned. At the time I was teaching in a JHS in Sunnyside oh 5 miles straight line from GroundZero. We could still smell the crap emanating from the Pile. EPA said it was safe. It wasnt. In a way this is like people dying of radiation poisoning 10 years after Hiroshima. Radical Islam is still claiming victims from 9/11 with US Govt’s help.
