The statement of NYPD Detective James
Zadroga to the 9/11 Commission,
excerpted in the adjacent column, should
be a must-read for every member of
Congress.
Zadroga's account was submitted to the
panel in 2003. Less than three years later, he was dead at age 34, the victim of severely
damaged lungs. A New Jersey coroner ruled that Zadroga had been felled by toxins
inhaled in long hours of laboring at Ground Zero. The city's medical examiner disputed
the finding.
What was beyond question is that Zadroga breathed in the same pulverized glass and
concrete and the same burning chemicals that later inflicted respiratory and
gastrointestinal diseases on thousands of rescue and recovery workers.
His name serves as the informal title of legislation that would provide federal funding for
health care for the many 9/11 workers who are ill and reopen the 9/11 victims
compensation fund.
The bill has been stalled in Congress for far too long. Tomorrow, sickened workers will
rally, yet again, in the hope of winning action. Among other things, they will cite the deaths
this month of three 9/11 responders in a single five-day period.
All were young - Police Officer Robert Grossman and Firefighter Richard Mannetta were
44, Officer Cory Diaz was 37. All died of cancers. The cancer death of Firefighter John
McNamara, also 44, shortly preceded those losses.
Doctors are hesitant to link cancers to Ground Zero's poisoned air. Whether there is
cause and effect is in no way certain. The illnesses might only reflect the cancer rate in
the general population.
For years, experts have feared a second wave of illnesses - cancers - would emerge in
WTC responders. The question of whether a new, deadlier epidemic is starting will take
painstaking analysis. The numbers so far are rudimentary:
The state Health Department WTC Responder Fatality Investigation Program blames
249 of 454 deaths from illnesses on cancer. A study by the Mount Sinai Medical Center
World Trade Center Medical Monitoring and Treatment Program described four cases of
a blood cancer in people under 45 among 28,000 studied. That's four times the rate
found in the general population. Some 600 of the 10,000 people in a lawsuit against the
city and contractors involved in the cleanup downtown say they have cancer.
While no conclusions are possible, there are grounds for intensive study - of a kind that
would be funded by a federal WTC program. Should a link be proven between Ground
Zero exposure and cancer, the need for health care and compensation would rise
exponentially.
To read Zadroga's statement is to encounter heroism that has faded unconscionably
from memory, as well as a betrayal that has simply been unconscionable. His feeling of
having been abandoned by his country is heartbreaking, as it must be for all the forgotten
victims of 9/11.

Let's not forget that the Bloomberg machine has fought tooth and nail
to deny ALL first responders to the WTF, the rightful benefits they
should receive as a result of illnesses contracted due to the rescue
work. It was also Bloomberg that tried to totally destroy this hero,
(Jimmy had received more than 40 citations for bravery even before
September 11th), and his reputation. Billionaire Bloomberg had the
audacity to publicly state "Det Zadroga is NOT a hero," and did
everything possible to prevent Zadroga's orphaned FOUR year old
daughter (Mrs. Zadroga had tragically passed before her husband)
from receiving her father's pension. And as is Bloomberg's signature
style, he "retracted" the statements when it became clear to him that it
would be politically expedient to do so. Rest in peace, Jimmy - you
