I laugh when all these firemen and cops are portrayed as heroes for responding to 9/11.
Consider me the anti-hero. I arrived at the WTC on the second week and I worked at the WTC and landfill until November. I made the best of it and did what I had to do.
As an Italian American cop from Brooklyn I did my job-nothing more. I was out for me. Throughout my career I made arrests and I was never in trouble yet I knew in the back of my mind that the job would screw me. It did.
I am now sick like thousands of other first responders. The difference is that I'm not bellyaching about what an injustice was dealt to me. Perhaps it is karma.
It is funny how the powers-that-be hide the truth right under your nose, in plain sight. In the early 40s the "Manhattan Project" was started. Years later we all knew about the devastation of the first A-bomb that was dropped on Hiroshima. It turns out that no one could fathom that the government would build an Atom bomb right in downtown Manhattan.
Surely the Manhattan Project had to be in some far off, secretive place like Hanford,Washington, Oak Ridge, Tennessee, or Los Alamos, New Mexico . Well, the uranium and other elements were stored near Columbia University, West 20th Street and the West Side Highway, and in the Woolworth Building located at 233 Broadway.
We referred to the World Trade Center as being "Ground Zero."
Hmm....Remember I said "hiding in plain sight." "Ground zero" began with the Manhattan Project and the bombing of Japan. The term 'ground zero' was be used to designate the point on the ground directly beneath the point of detonation, or 'air zero.'
Ground Zero was the code name given to the spot chosen for the atomic bomb test at Trinity Site.
