In the days and weeks that followed the terrible events of September 11th, 2001, thousands of volunteers from across the United States descended upon Ground Zero to volunteer in the search of the WTC remains. Reassured that the air quality was safe by both the Federal Government through statements issued by the EPA, and the City Government of New York, these brave men and women toiled night and day in the toxic fumes of the rubble. Now seven years later, most of them are sick, many of them are dying, and too many are already dead.
To add insult to their injuries, many have found themselves having to fight for the treatments they now need to battle their afflictions. Amid a mass of bureaucratic red tape and corporate policy roadblocks, these forgotten heroes are living the 9/11 nightmare daily.
And you've probably never heard a word about any of this....
