Summary
Victim Compensation Fund to #NeverForget the heroes who are still dying. More people have
now died since 9/11, due to illnesses from exposure to toxins at Ground Zero, than were
actually lost on that day. First responders and others who selflessly and courageously devoted
themselves to psychologically and physically debilitating feats of rescue, recovery and
remediation, are still suffering, while the Victim Compensation Fund is drying up.
Hear about the interesting history of this fund, which began as an Act of Congress to compensate
victims or families in exchange for them not to sue the airlines whose planes were overtaken by
terrorists. And hear about the controversies that have plagued the fund, as they’ve struggled to
figure out how much each life is worth. Jon Stewart and retired NYPD officer, Lou Alvarez,
recently gave impassioned pleas, begging Congress to replenish the fund to cover the remaining
victims. Sadly, Mr. Alvarez died of his 9/11-related cancer only days later. The House then voted
to extend the fund until 2090, as the Never Forget the Heroes Act, and it is now up to the
Senate.
Ironically, while this was happening, a Syrian refugee’s terrorist plot to bomb a Pittsburgh church,
was foiled. Mustafa Mousab Alowemer planned a second bomb to go off when first responders
came, and to leave an ISIS flag with a sign, “We’ve arrived."
