This seems so riculous. If I die someday, I am going to claim that I saw the whole disaster on TV and claim post-traumatic stress. I can now claim compensation that my stress was due to the 9-11 attack.
Aw, thanks. I can pay (in taxes) for YOU, too!

I don’t think it’s ridiculous, because those rescue workers have suffered as much as those people who got crushed or immediately killed or jumped out of those windows. The rescue workers harmed their health to an extent that they won’t have normal health for the rest of their lives, if they survive very long.
It’s very reasonable, considering what they did to try and save people while putting themselves in harm’s way...
