Archivists who bought a stash of CDs at a house clearance sale found 2,400 photos of Ground Zero in New York taken following the 9/11 attacks in 2001. They appear to have been taken by an as yet unidentified construction worker who helped to clear up the wreckage of the World Trade Center towers and surrounding area. The CDs were in poor condition but the data was ultimately retrievable. The archivists have uploaded the photos to Flickr. The digital albums include images of Ground Zero itself taken both at ground level and from above, construction staff at work and the damaged interiors of the blocks surrounding the towers. Nearly 3,000 people died when four hijacked airliners were crashed into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.

If there is anyone who doesn’t hate Muslims after 9/11, there is something wrong with them.
What a find! and what a mystery...
All of which is courtesy of maggot politicians
What I noticed right off: Vast majority of the guys in the pics I had time to look at were not wearing respirators/didn’t have one on their person.
Then: Never Forget
Now: Long Forgotten
Did I miss the Photo of John Stewart searching the Debris for survivors?
I thought CD’s were considered “archival” and didn’t degrade this fast, unlike cassettes or videotape. They would still be less than 20 years old.
I didn’t much of any PPE actually.
Commercial pressed CDs are in general, but recordable CDs vary. The cheap ones certainly are not and even the ones sold specifically as archival quality will fail if stored improperly.

In a less snowflaky world men in their youth and middle age get it done, and if it chops off a few years from the 65+ part of life, roll with it. I’d rather die a few years early and have accomplished a few more things than nursed every last possible breath out of life while letting things go to hell.
Safety equipment is sometimes useful and appropriate and available. In some instances if all three criteria are met it may make sense to mandate the use of such things, but in general get out of the way of the guys who have a job to do.
bttt
I can’t stand them, I will never trust them, they are backstabbing, lying, inbred, perverted snakes, every last one of them.

Everyone was told the air was safe just fine. Thank you Christine Todd whitman.
Those machines are working a top debris pile many stories thick. Are you some sort of nut?
Would someone provide a clickable link. Easier on an iPad. Thanks.
