Open Question: $657mln deal for sick Ground Zero workers?

NEW YORK (AFP) – More than 10,000 people who worked in the toxic chaos of New York’s Ground Zero after 9/11 could receive compensation totaling 657 million dollars for health problems under a deal reached Thursday.

Thousands of plaintiffs, mostly firefighters, police and construction workers, have sued the city for what they say are health problems connected to work in the debris of the World Trade Center, which was destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks.

On Thursday, the head of an insurance company that was funded with federal dollars to insure New York City against claims by many of the plaintiffs related said a potential deal to pay out up to 657 million dollars (479 million euros) had been reached.
