Editorial | NYC must be honest about 9/11 air quality files

Over 5,000 New Yorkers have died from 9/11-related illnesses, primarily affecting first responders who were assured the air was safe during the 2001 attacks. A group called 9/11 Health Watch is suing NYC to release long-withheld air quality records, citing a 'moral injury' from delayed transparency. A court has ordered city officials to testify about the withheld documents, which were recently discovered in storage.
