The day of 9-11 with all the dust, being a medical professional, I knew like many other medical professionals, a lot people was going to have chrontic lung disease. The city of New York owe a lots to the people working at ground zero.

Re: "Maybe you uptight s-e-x-l-e-s-s Christian Conservatives are worried about BJs in the White House."

Just to clarify, by "s-e-x-l-e-s-s", do you mean that that they''re not getting any, or their genetalia is indeterminate?

I would say that it is a tragedy that this man died and suffered as he did through to the end of his life. If it is indeed from his work at Ground Zero then he should be added to the list. I know I will get flamed for this but I just don''t buy into the conspiracy theories about the Bush Admin and the EPA although it does seem like someone in the EPA screwed up. I also know first responders and they will rush into a burning building to save someone without concern for personal safety. I wonder how much of the desire to help rescue those that were trapped may have outweighed any long term side effect concerns...My 2 cents

Why doesn''t anyone bring up this point?
"Zadroga''s parents, Joseph and Linda Zadroga, had given their son''s autopsy report to Hirsch in a bid to have their son''s name added to the official list of Sept. 11 victims."

''in a bid to have their son''s name added to the official list of Sept. 11 victims''???

If they can get his name on the list, they are eligible for millions of dollars from the U.S. government as survivors of a 9/11 victim!

The average payout has been about 1.8 million per victim. My question is, did the man apply for compensation as a victim BEFORE he dies, or is this his parent''s idea AFTER he died?

Zadroga became ill after working in the ruins post-9/11, but misused the drugs prescribed for his illnesses caused by working in the ruins post-9/11, so working in the ruins post-9/11 was not the cause of his death.
Uhh, OK.

padams1010,

Maybe you uptight s-e-x-l-e-s-s Christian Conservatives are worried about BJs in the White House. If our current administration had more of them, we probably would not be at war right now in a country that did nothing to us.

Only you puritans think war is more godlike than s-e-x. You guys need to learn the difference between a gun and a rifle. It''s your lack of using the former that makes you so obsessed with the latter.

I feel really bad for the family that this ME is a complete idiot, his only concern here is to make NYC politicians look good.

I do believe that the ME is an appointed position so gee why would he try to dispute the original autopsy?

As far as the EPA goes I think their direction was to give a clean bill of health to the area so the city could be reopened. No I have seen one of the videos of the sampling technique they used for asbestos and I spent 10 years in that industry as a hygienist let me tell you when I heard them say the air results in part per million I thought I would die. The reason I say this is because if they were doing the proper test the results would have be in structures or fibers per cc not PPM.

The other thing I have to say is that when I watched the police and firefighters walking around without SCUBA gear for breathing I was shocked with the amount of particulate that was in the air they should have been in SCUBA or type C reparatory protection at all times. This is just one mans opinion

[usawatchman]

I can''t even begin how many BUREAUCRATS (White House, FBI, ..etc)
I told around 911 for those people to have real
RESPIRATORS,
and NO ONE DID ANYTHING TO HELP THESE PEOPLE

This is shoking the man put 420 hours in at ground zero, There to sorry to put his name on a plaque. There afraid of future litagation on this matter I believe. So their throwing this man to the wolves and slandering his name. Where is the mayor the governor the president{stupid question I know unfortunatly}. Now whenever there is kaos no will help cause they see how there treated. I''m insulted as a american and a man. Someone help this family he was a hero I don''t have the means.

[padams1010]
