Turned on the news this morning and they've cordoned off a whole block. Seems the only person in critical condition was the driver of that red tow truck that's currently in the pit.
Yeah, you'd think people would learn after 9/11 to just get the hell out of there, but I think if you don't see it coming toward you, you just don't think. At least that seems to be the attitude of lots of folk - toxic stuff floating in the area just isn't visible, but I noticed a number of folk on the news today were wearing masks around the site. Although the mayor says there's no asbestos, I sorta remember the gov't saying the air was safe around ground zero, too...
