@justinfreakin: NYC Officials Knew About Toxic Air After September 11th And Covered It Up New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration has released more than 170,000 pages of municipal records involving the impact of the September 11 attacks on air quality health, as well as the city’s response. Mamdani announced the documents and an online portal for accessing them on Tuesday. The release comes alongside the settlement of two lawsuits pursued by 9/11 Health Watch, which fought for access to these long-withheld documents. “For too long, New Yorkers have had to fight for access to records that should have been available to them in the first place,” Mamdani said in a statement. “The devastating truth is that the suffering did not end once the smoke cleared and the dust settled,” Mamdani also said at a press conference. “People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air.” The tranche of documents offers just a fraction of air quality reports on Ground Zero. But they do include an internal memo where New York City weighed possible liability related to air quality. The release of these records comes three days before the 25th anniversary of 9/11 – which killed nearly 3,000 people in New York City, Washington and Pennsylvania. The documents provide further evidence that city officials knew air surrounding the twin towers was toxic – but misled the public into thinking it was safe, officials said. #news #september11 #911 #neverforget #politics
