Report Says Very Few Applications From People With 9/11 Related Health Problems Processed So Far

NY1NEWS

Only a tiny fraction of applications from people who need help with health problems related to September 11th have been processed.

A report from the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund says out of nearly 55,000 aid applications filed over the past two years, just over 100 have been settled.

Less than 1 percent of the nearly $3 billion set aside for the fund by Congress has been distributed.

There won't be anybody who needs help. It took Bush over 400 days just to start the investigation of 9/11. All that asbestos in the air should mean lawsuits for that piece of shit Larry Silverstein. It's his toxic mess. He was supposed to clean the towers of asbestos, but Bush took care of that for him, the easy way.
