They covered the 9/11 attacks at ground zero. Now they have cancer. And they want other journalists to know that compensation and insurance is available for those who need it.

"As a journalist, the main motive is just to get the story, get those pictures, never thinking years later you're going to end up dying from it," said Bruce David Martin, a former news operation manager and photojournalist for WWOR-TV."We had a job to do," said Vincent Novak, who was working at NBC at the time of the attack.

"During a routine exam in 2008, Martin's doctor discovered a tumor in his abdomen. That was the beginning of a decade-long medical ordeal. Martin said he is now in the"final stages" of the disease."I'm inoperable right now. So pretty much just living my life," he said matter-of-factly.The compensation fund and the health program do not have specific data about how many members of the media have enrolled.

I am just wondering why the dust was toxic? Surely just concrete dust? Is that toxic out of interest?

Aren't I glad I wasn't at work that morning across the street.

Chinese Communist Party intends to deliver electronic components and industrial products to Turkey,Greece,Italy,Russia,Middle East,Europe,Africa through the Belt Road Initiative. After gaining market share in a wide area, they plan to stop transportation and paralyze the economy.

Penalties must be imposed on the People's Republic of China. People's Republic of China needs two sanctions: 'Economic regulation' non-sell and non-buy.

IN THIS SITUATION, WHY CAN CHINA BUSINESS IN OTHER COUNTRIES ? Chinese government should stop Internet regulations, after then conduct economic activities other countries.

Chinese government is restricting Internet. Who can trust the economic indicators published by the Chinese government?

There are the most executions in the world in mainland China. And Chinese government is restricting information. in this situation, Why can China business abroad? China should conduct economic activities outside of the country after resolving domestic human rights issues.

And the Chinese government does not follow the Refugee Convention. Many North Koreans have been sent back. And Chinese government not follow the 50-years one country two systems in Hong Kong?

Peaple cannot criticize the Chinese government. But can the Chinese government persecute minorities?

Uyghur citizens cannot criticize Chinese government. And Chinese government put Uyghur Muslim children in concentration camps. Children don't return to their parents. And Chinese government detain Uyghur women.

Peaple cannot criticize the Chinese government. and Chinese government persecuted religious believers. and Chinese government broke down the Christian church.and Chinese government broke the Christian cross.

Chinese government killed people by Under the armored car wheels.1989.6.4 Peaple cannot criticize the Chinese government.

America and Europe, South America, Asia, Africa, Australia, the Middle East and all world are all buying by China.

Canadian's death sentence in China 'horrific', family says 15 January 2019 China

Traveling to mainland China is dangerous. If you have illegal drugs in your baggage, you will be sentenced to death. It's also possible that another person's luggage will be mixed. Taiwan for sightseeing. Macau is resort. Hong Kong is the struggle for freedom.

Please save the Xinjiang Uyghur Muslim brothers. China wants to execute a famous Uighur scientist. His death would mean no one is safe

The employers can pay up now.

People's Republic of China government is money first. Human life is second. No one knows human rights. The death penalty seems to be about 1000 to 2000 people per year in mainland China.

Are the residents who lived there getting help? Of course first responders should, and the journals, but the common folk who lived there are probably sick too

'Peaple's Republic of China Political death execution' China maintains the death penalty for political reasons. The crimes covered include not only murder, but also the manufacture and sale of drugs and bribery of civil servants. Can you buy from this country?

I think People's Republic of China is thinking about resuming communism again. The death penalty is 1000-2000 people every year. Every day 3 to 6 people are executed. Can you buy things from this country? Don't buy products from People's Republic of China!

People's Republic of China penetrates the whole world economically and makes the whole world no-religion. Boycott the People's Republic of China from all world. Sanctions are required to the People's Republic of China.

Without political rivals party, there is no criticism. So It cannot be corrected when society goes in the wrong direction. Need journalism and political parties from multiple directions. Why dosen't China knows simple thing?

Is there freedom of speech? Does China has freedom of expression? Does China has freedom of thought and beliefs? That day, How many of what the students wanted in Tiananmen Square is in China today?

Stop all transactions with People's Republic of China !! They are not the nation. They don't comply with the Convention, even if they are permanent member of the UN Security Council. They are not the nation. They are just a Stupid group.

People's Republic of China government can only violate the people. The election system is just form. The number and charges of death penalty are not revealed. Chinese reporters don't check this government. This is not a nation. This is just a Stupid group.

The real cause of the economic recession is that P2P and other financial problems have been around for quite some time and have not improved. 'People's Republic of China' There are no truth in what this government says.

Now, People's Republic of China is trying to make Hong Kong protesters an excuse for the recession. THEY ARE MOST AFRAID TO MAINLAND CHINA PEAPLE GETTING ANGRY. Everything is a plan to hide P2P economic issues in mainland China.

Why can not People's Republic of China ? We must be able to know what we want to know. We must be able to think what we want to think about. We must be able to insist what we want to insist. We must be able to believe what we want to believe.

People's Republic of China has limited freedom of thought and religion, freedom of expression, even the right to know and the freedom of the press. The sense is paralyzed that the international community thinks that this is a natural China.

People's Republic of China has dominated the inside of their country by fear. The same goes for diplomacy. They are using North Korea=military dummy. Suck up huge amount of money from Japan. It sends by money laundering. China and North Korea are bandits.

People's Republic of China, although a permanent member of the UN Security Council, can not abide by Article 33 of the UN Refugee Convention, “PROHIBITION OF EXPULSION OR RETURN' and 'Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees'?

Google 'Dancing Israelis'.

Very Sad. Things own Government can do to own people. 9/11 WAS an inside Job indeed. At least a False Flag Operation that went wrong. And nobody seem to care.

Wow. Unbelievable I swear.
