FDNY rescuers who sucked in toxic air while working at Ground Zero lost the equivalent of 12 years of lung function after the World Trade Center attacks, a bombshell health study shows.
"World Trade Center exposure produced a substantial reduction in pulmonary function in New York City Fire Department rescue workers during the first year following 9/11/01," according to the analysis of 12,079 fire and EMT workers conducted by Montefiore Medical Center-Einstein College and the FDNY.
The respiratory loss "equaled 12 years of aging-related decline," the report said.

Hope they get Bin Laden soon. He needs to pay for what he's done.

So why announce/confirm the death of high ranking AQ operatives, Al-Zarqawi and Taleban members but hide the death of Bin Laden?

Not going to happen. He's probably already dead anyhow.

side note- If Bin Laden was dead, he would be proclaimed a martyr and it would be a boost the AQ. OBL is not the only 'leader' of this organization, he is just the most widely known.

I feel that the FDNY will be bringing multiple lawsuits in the future based on what happened on 9/11, and I hope they are provided everything that they need after the heroic and selfless actions they took on 9/11.
