This is shameful - The money (1 Billion) was set aside almost immediately, and the lawyers have been chipping away at it ever since. Meanwhile, not a single person who put it on the line on 9/11 has seen a penny - For shame on Gov and Lawyers.

657 million seems like a lot, but evenly split between the 10,000..everyone gets about 65,000 only

@AreYouConcerned to late fool, u expsosed your self for what u r, a whiny liberal the believes in victomology, all these guy deserve is what was in contract obligation, if you don't want to put your life on line don't take tax payer noney, if u do and it's a problem secure you famjily and buy inusrance, anything else goes with the job. if u dont' like it, get a new one!

[AreYouConcerned]

because the neocons (guiliani bush cheney..) denied the first responders any coverage on their medical cost even though a billion dollars was given to the red cross for that very purpose! Now you know why the majority of people want a real investigation into the attacks on 911!

[AreYouConcerned]

Obviously your idea of law does not coincide with the verdict in this case!

"BIG GOV, SUPPORTED BY LIBERAL AMBULANCE CHASERS, is what u defend"

No dumbass that is what you defend! You support big government, not me! We have something called the US constitution that gives everyone the right to a fair trial and treats them fairly under the law! Your jack booting thug tactics won't work on me! You want government to dictact your freedom! Move to NK or China, your idealogy works well here!

RESCUERS SHOULD GET MORE THAN THAT!!!!!!!!!

THESE PEOPLE ARE HEROES, and they were let down by the government.

[GeminiAzules]

Why do they need to sue? they should be taken care of if they went through these things to save people!

Firefighters also found 2 explosive devices in the WTC. Where's the case against Larry Silverstein & the Mossad agents who planted them there?
