Nearly two months have gone by since the huge blaze at the Deutsche Bank building has passed, and now Firefighter unions are confident enough to say that the FDNY is trying to cover their tracks in the wake of an investigation started after two firefighters were killed there that day.
From ABC7:
The heads of the Uniformed Firefighters and Fire Officers Associations say top brass at the department told fire chiefs at a meeting last month to stop sending any E-mails about the fire at the Ground Zero skyscraper.The deadly blaze on August 18 exposed dangerous fire hazards at the contaminated building, which was in the process of being dismantled.
Firefighters union president Steve Cassidy says the department doesn't want the truth about the investigation to come out.
There have been too many "coincidences" to rule out foul play at the top of the FDNY. Hopefully the independent investigation will get past the roadblocks set up by the higher-ups at the Fire Department. The families of Robert Beddia and Joseph Graffagnino deserve the truth and those that are tied to their deaths need to be held accountable. We can not allow this type of negligence to occur again for NY's Bravest.
