More than three times as many people have now died of 9/11-related illnesses as were killed on that terrible day — and three-quarters of the New Yorkers here now weren’t here then

On the day Mayor Zohran Mamdani released a portal of documents showing city and federal officials had known since weeks after the attacks about the noxious air that people were breathing downtown, FAQ NYC hosts Harry Siegel and Christina Greer dig into that story.

Plus, they discuss Mamdani’s new workers’ rights office, his new 400-page racial equity plan, a treasure map of easily searchable historical photos, and much more.
