The Fallen Heroes.

"70 percent of the rescue workers who picked through the toxic debris of the World Trade Center after the September 11 attacks suffered respiratory problems" ... Reuters, Wednesday Sept. 6.
tho the report do not mentioned about any fatalities i believe there is or there are.
i have a chance of seating and talking to the chief of fire rescue station at my locality. and he did tell me about his peers and his comrades. he is in his fortys. he considered himself as real lucky to be well and healthy at his current age. coz most of his peers are not. they have aliments from various diseases and most of it from lung problem.
he did mentioned that some of the fire & rescue members that went to Indonesia to combat the pit and jungle fire have passed away a few years after their return from the mission. lung problems.
after years of combating fire getting rough in the toxic smoke and exposed or incurred injury in their daily routine jobs, most of them without doubt shall have health problems.
whether they are fully equipped to protect themselves while discharging their duties is really a separate issue.
but when they passed away or suffered the ailments, they have only themselves and their family as well as fellow comrades. no big hoohah in tv or tabloid.
who to be blamed? their department's PR?
