Apparently, the US media missed this one. The Russian media didn't.

are you suggesting a conspiracy?

The US News only reports on:

AP Bits
Reuters Feeds
Internet Videos (I'm not kidding, I've watched a bunch of "news" programs lately and they really report on Internet Videos)
Weather

no one suspects the Spanish Inquisition.

Do you think the government injected them all with cancer juice before they even went in the buildings that they blew up with dynamite?

Also, that news lady is hot.

Doesn't speak very good Russian though.

that'll teach 'em.

Is this even a surprise? The place was a fog of concrete and every other dust imaginable. You can't breathe that in and feel good about it.

I've seen little odd stories about this here or there over the years (usually on local news stations, who apparently have more balls than the cable news, which is hardly news) and obviously it's not shocking, but really fucking sad.

The real tragedy is that the government did not see to the healthcare of these people. If anything ever warrants the government footing your healthcare bills, I'd think risking your life to save others after a terrorist attack would be it. The volunteer rescue crews didn't even get the shitty, pathetic, barely passable healthcare we offer our troops.

But then again I guess you'd need an ounce of human compassion and decency to care what happens to these people; something politicians are short on.

pam for president 2012

Exactly. Days and weeks of breathing any number of building materials like that will do it, and I'm not surprised the govt. didn't issue a warning/provide checkups to the workers and people in the area. Not a conspiracy, just willful disregard.

Willful disregard to a pre-conceived action.

yes.

Why would you do that? Hilarity would have ensued.

If you look at the past couple of catastrophes that hit America, the response - or lack thereof, has been horrible.

i have a video called "Autopsy" with Dr. Michael Baden, one of the segments is about the post 9/11 conditions. it deals with one of the first people to develop the lung problems. its a shitty thing to watch, all the guy was doing was his job.

I was siding a house once and the cement dudes were right near me. I remember breathing in that dust for a few days in a row and regretting it everyday. not sure how people deal with that on a daily basis

i used to work with silica sand at Saint-Gobain, after like 6 months i started losing my singing voice. they never really emphasized how dangerous that stuff is.

more people needed to die anyways.

Silicosis. Breathing in concrete dust.
