    Mohawk ironworkers miss chance to file for 9-11 funds Newsday
    HOGANSBURG, N.Y. -- Some of them were injured, others have been diagnosed with emphysema and nearly all complain of respiratory ailments.

    Yet, some 25 Mohawk ironworkers who helped dismantle the remains of the World Trade Center following the deadly terrorist attacks two years ago won't receive any assistance from the Sept. 11 Victims Compensation Fund because they failed to file claims.

    The workers maintain they were never told they qualified.

    Washington firm about deadline for 9/11 fund Montreal Gazette
    A U.S. Justice Department spokesman says officials 'will take a look at' claims from Mohawk ironworkers who worked on rescue and recovery after the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centre on Sept. 11, 2001.
