The unsung heroes of 911

I have done many news articles for various classes, and no matter how hard I tried, they always look like crap. Hopefully this one would be ok. My government teacher told my class today about some of the aftereffects that rescue workers suffer. Rescue workers such as police and firefighters, and even the clean up workers have breathed in huge smoke and dirt into their lungs. The workers have labored in the site for weeks without any protection, and they are now suffering lung related diseases. These people can no longer work because of their illness and they also felt forgotten by the New York City.

I feel really bad for the people. Not because of their illness or lost of jobs, actually I do, but not as much as the following fact that they put so much hard work into saving people in the Twin Towers and cleaning up the site afterwards, in the end their work was not appreciated, at all. Those people has risked their lives working, the police have rushed to the scene after the first plane crashed, and many of them lost their lives because of it.   Even the government didn’t acknowledge the workers’ hard work, they were denied healthcare and those who are granted healthcare have to have a background check on terrorist database. It is weird how the government treats the rescue workers.
