9/11 was a tragic day that took everyone by surprise, everyone including Giuliani. Hindsight is 20/20 so of course you can back track and say the protective gear was good enough or efefctive enough. Everyone acted quickly and on thier toes and you cannot blame anyone for working under that extreme intese pressure. We are only people and Giuliani is only a man who had to do a beyond human task.

I hate to disillusion you, but even here in Pensacola, as we watched the rescue and body retrieval continue for endless days, weeks and months, reports of respiratory problems and illness among rescue workers were evident to all who watched. I knew Whitman and the EPA ,OSHA and all the others did nothing to test or give and respirators to the workers and were lying , when they said it was safe.You cannot have that much debris in the air without impact to the lungs. Remember they could only work for a few hours and had to come up and receive oxygen in the tents the city was so good to provide. Rescue became retrieval of body parts and they knew that they did not have much time. Giuliani wanted the retrieval to speed up or stop so they kept on working when time no longer was the factor, but getting rid of the evidence was. What was the big rush? They had that steel cut up and hauled off so fast they had to keep sifting the stuff for body parts before they loaded it on ships to take it to China or where ever.Those tireless rescue workers wanted to find everything and anything that might help a grieving family member know for sure where their loved ones were. You cannot grieve if you never know for sure.
So yes there is plenty of blame to go around ,so the least they can do is treat the ones exposed, for free. I hope they sue and win. They are suffering now, for the good deeds they did. You may not know how if feels to be short of breath all the time or coughing endlessly. You get so tired and cannot rest, ever. No positions of comfort. You may not die quickly, but you wish you would. Walk a few feet in their shoes, for they may not have the strength left to walk themselves. Is this how we treat our Heroes?

Geeyoulonnie wasnt caught by surprise.........he knew it was coming.
