In a significant move, New York City disclosed withheld documents on air quality after 9/11, suggesting that officials may have misrepresented the dangers present post-collapse of the Twin Towers. A memo warned of potential lawsuits for toxic exposure and city liability concerns. There were also fears about asbestos levels and negative public response. This revelation follows a legal challenge from the advocacy group 9/11 Health Watch.
