2. Saying the city "allowed a macho culture" to develop on the site is unfair
NYFD and NYPD are macho cultures, as are about every other FD and PD in the country.

These men and women went in risking their lives to save people as they do every day. After there was little hope of finding people alive, volunteers went in as a matter of civic pride and IMO it's entirely possible that potential risks were unknown. This doesn't happen every day.

Guiliani is certainly no hero of 9/11, but this reeks of unethical lawyers chasing deep pockets.
