Distinct air of disregard By Dennis Duggan, Newsday.com
Yesterday, I talked to many of the iron workers, carpenters, rescue workers and downtown residents who went to Ground Zero feeling safe in Whitman's assurances.
Many of them had contracted the World Trade Center Cough, which I first heard of when I walked into Engine Co. 10, Ladder Co. 10 in the summer of 2003.
'Everyone knows about the cough,' Capt. Gene Kelty told me that summer day. 'Two of my men are on medical leave. One of them has bronchitis and the other pneumonia.'
I asked Firefighter Joseph Sardo why firefighters weren't wearing masks when they worked in the hole.
'You know what those masks stop,' he laughed. 'Golfballs!'------------------------------------------- posted 7:10 AM :: reference link ::
