Really, more than 2996 - and
Really, more than 2996 - and unfortunately still counting.
All those search & recovery workers injured by exposure to toxic levels of contaminants on the ground, some with symptoms only starting to emerge now... they are victims of this too. The final count will be higher.
I remember rounding up PPE
I filled my car with what people at UMass Lowell and other local places were willing to part with, and drove it to Southeastern MA where it was put on a truck for Manhattan.
And it still wasn't enough. Nowhere near enough.
And then those same people got treated like shit by congress. All for risking their lives for others. Preview of what was to come I guess ...
