Its interesting that asbestos was banned halfway thru the Trade Centers construction. Officials knew there were 400 tons of white crystalline asbestos in the buildings. After seeing it implode into dust, how the frick did they say it was safe to breath? Add in the melted plastics and concrete dust, anyone with a high school diploma should have e know it was toxic and hazardous.

Ran that question through AI:

The $34 million budget allocation for New York City’s public 9/11 records portal covers extensive attorney labor required to review, process, and redact tens of thousands of sensitive pages

Why the Project Costs $34 Million
• Massive Volume: The city must review and process over 170,000 pages of records—including the recently found "68 boxes" of Department of Environmental Protection files and the Harding Memo—spanning health data, air quality reports, and internal correspondence. [
• Legal and Privacy Reviews: Attorneys from the city's Law Department must carefully vet the files to protect personal identifying information and assess legal exposure before publication.
• Worst-Case Estimate: City officials noted that the $34 million figure was structured as a maximum, worst-case budget estimate for the multi-month review process, though working with advocacy groups like 9/11 Health Watch on targeted search terms could eventually lower the total cost. You can explore the published files directly on the City's 9/11 Records Portal.
