As we approach the twenty first anniversary of 9/11, Eric Adams is continuing to hide documents that expose the city’s cover up of dangerous air quality and health hazards after the towers came down on that September day. Eric Adams is a slimy coward protecting his left wing pals. The people who suffered or even died from health reasons after the 9/11 attack deserve better than this.
Mayor Adams is refusing to release a stash of potentially damning documents showing that the city covered up warnings about dangerous air and health hazards facing New Yorkers after 9/11 — unless the city is granted immunity from lawsuits, sources told The Post.
The stubborn stance comes as two New York Congress members demand the mayor release all records kept under wraps since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.
“It has been 21 years since 9/11, and the city has still not come forward with information about what it knew in the aftermath of the attacks. There are thousands of 9/11 responders and survivors who have the right to this information,” Rep. Carolyn Maloney said in a statement last week.
Maloney and Rep. Jerry Nadler are calling on Adams – an ex-cop and 9/11 responder — to open the city’s files on what then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani and his administration knew from the get-go about health risks facing thousands of New Yorkers from the dust and smoke at Ground Zero, but kept the alarming information secret.
Sources on Saturday confirmed a New York Times report that a memo in early October 2001 to then-Deputy Mayor Robert Harding from an assistant warned the city faced up to 10,000 liability claims “including toxic tort cases that might arise in the next few decades.”
