NYC Officials Release 40,000 Additional Unseen Post-9/11 Documents
The archive now totals 210,000 pages and includes internal emails on air quality, building safety and legal concerns after the attacks.
- On Wednesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration released 40,000 additional records related to the Sept. 11 attacks, bringing the cumulative total to 210,000 pages available through the city's 9/11 portal.
- The release follows a settlement with 9/11 Health Watch, an advocacy group that sued the city for years to access records on air quality, health risks, and government decisions following the 25-year-old attacks.
- Records reveal internal discussions about hazardous dust, made public after the administration waived attorney-client privilege. General Counsel Wilfredo Lopez noted, "We've been telling people everything is okay," while discussing testing or cleanup.
- Advocates praised the release, with Executive Director Ben Chevat stating the documents show "a disturbing record" that government agencies failed to change course even after realizing the extent of hazards.
- Additional records are expected in the coming months as part of the ongoing settlement, furthering the promise of transparency for families and first responders affected by the attacks.
