NYC releases 170k pages suggesting officials knew post-9/11 air was unsafe

New York City released over 170,000 pages of documents indicating officials were aware of unsafe air conditions after 9/11 despite public assurances. The release follows decades of advocacy for transparency, with more FDNY members dying from related illnesses than the 343 killed in the attacks. The documents may fuel legal and political accountability efforts, though their full content and implications remain under review.
