Toxic Truths at Ground Zero The recent release of 170,000 pages of internal records by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has shed new light on the aftermath of the September 11 terror attacks.
The documents reveal a painful chapter in American history: city officials knowingly misled New Yorkers about the air quality around Ground Zero, downplaying the dangers of toxic pollutants.
The consequences were devastating: hundreds of first responders and civilians fell ill with respiratory diseases that still plague them today.
