As deaths from 9/11-related illnesses doubled the number killed in the attacks, City Hall claimed ignorance, an act many call an insult to those who served and their grieving families. Evidence shows the city knew early on: asbestos levels exceeded safety limits in 2001, yet official reports were delayed or vanished. A newly surfaced “Harding Memo” reveals city attorneys anticipated lawsuits tied to premature health advisories, exposing long-standing liability risks. Though today’s administration promises greater transparency, it’s too late for thousands already lost—or still suffering—from exposure.
