2001年9月11日发生恐怖袭击后,纽约世贸中心双塔倒塌释放大量粉尘和烟雾,含有石棉等有害物质。事后政府官员曾多次宣布附近空气安全,但后来发现大量救援人员和居民因吸入有毒空气而患上严重疾病。
中新网9月9日电 据英国广播公司(BBC)报道,一批新公布的文件显示,2001年“9·11”袭击发生后不久,美国纽约曼哈顿就记录到了有毒的空气质量,但政府却淡化了对公众的健康风险。
纽约市长佐兰·马姆达尼当地时间8日表示,袭击发生后,在世贸中心归零地附近进行测试时,几乎所有接受检测的地点都发现了石棉。
“民众患病,是因为他们信任的领导人撒谎,这些人说呼吸有毒的空气是安全的。”马姆达尼在宣布公布与“9·11”事件有关的17万份文件时说。
美国卫生官员表示,世贸双塔倒塌产生的粉尘和烟雾所引发的相关疾病,造成的死亡人数已超过袭击中遇难的人数。
在8日的新闻发布会上,与马姆达尼一同发言的电视主持人乔恩·斯图尔特多年来一直坚持为“911”事件维权。斯图尔特表示,新文件显示,早在2001年10月,纽约市政府就知道曼哈顿的空气有毒。
“客观来讲,他们只是把这些信息埋藏了25年。”斯图尔特讽刺地说。
报道称,袭击发生几天后,包括美国环境保护署在内的市级和联邦官员宣布,世贸双塔附近的空气是安全的。
有网友评论称,美国政府对本国公民撒谎已有数十年之久。

The South Korean military said that North Korean soldiers have crossed the Military Demarcation Line more than 20 times in the past month, exceeding the 17 times in the whole of last year.

A torrent of ice, boulders and mud washed away buildings in the Gyirong area of Tibet on the China-Nepal border, killing and injuring more than a thousand people, most of them in Nepal. Chinese officials only reported that more than 500 people were missing in Tibet, 43 people were killed, and 519 people were missing, but no official list of missing persons was released. Family members and netizens used social media to spontaneously compile lists, leave messages to find people, and share unanswered text messages and old photos to express their concern for their loved ones. Officials emphasized rescue operations and controlled the release of information, warned the media to keep consistent with the official narrative, and punished those who spread false information. Interviewees described final conversations with missing friends, hoping to find relics to comfort their families. Experts say government information controls stem from concerns about collective grief turning into demands for accountability.
