In response to requests from the EPA through the USGS, NASA flew AVIRIS on a De Havilland Twin Otter over lower Manhattan at mid-day on September 16 and 23, 2001. For these deployments, the Twin Otter was flown at altitudes of 6,500 and 12,500 feet.
AVIRIS Contribution at the WTC
- On the 14th of September, Roger Clark of the USGS called to say there was a concern with asbestos contamination at the WTC disaster site.
- Through the support of NASA HQ and others, AVIRIS flew the disaster site on the 16th, 18th, 22nd and 23rd.
- AVIRIS contributed in three areas:
- Hot spot location and temperature determination
- Asbestos mapping
- Debris composition and distribution mapping

Right after you can be adult enough to admit it was the EPA that requested the flyover in the first place.

NO, the facts are as shown and proven in the OP.
FACT. The EPA requested the flyover through the USGS.
FACT. The EPA believed there was radiation at the site. They believed there was DU from the planes burning and causing thermal raidtion and maybe toxic air.

But there was no request to NASA to use the AVIRIS to check for radiation.

Who requested the flyover, its a very simple question?

To check for radiation? Nobody. A fact proven by NASA.

...and I asked where is the proof that NASA was asked to have the AVIRIS check for radiation at the WTC site.
