Please Include The Displaced Residents
Dear Madam or Sir;
Please include the many, many thousands (estimated at 50,000) of displaced residents in your list of victims. Some have returned to the community, some have left, others are waiting.
Most have suffered home damages due to the 9-11 incident. Some lost relatives. Some of the children were greatly effected as witnesses (the students of local I.S./P.S. 89).
Most important, as the fires continues, and half of the parents have left our community permanently, I'm scared that the remaining half have children that are in harm's way of contracting illnesses such as asthma and worse.
The WTC fires are still burning and the toxic remains of the 9-11 incident are being carted through children's play areas. Large construction vehicles are using children's walking paths to move steel and other materials, endangering the pedestrians. The noise level is very high, especially at night, when the children need sleep.
There were many victims of 9-11. Within the residential population of Battery Park City, I fear that there will may more to come, unless we display a great effort.
Sincerely,
Individual Comment
Battery Park City, NY
