Mamdani releases 9/11 air-quality documents, faces backlash over memorial attendance
–
Neutral summary
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's administration on Tuesday released more than 170,000 pages of documents suggesting city officials knew air conditions after the 9/11 attacks were unsafe, despite assurances otherwise. Mamdani said “people got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air.” Meanwhile, former Mayor Rudy Giuliani and some victim families urged Mamdani, the city's first Muslim mayor, not to attend Friday's Ground Zero ceremony, with a petition demanding his exclusion reaching 100,000 signatures. Governor Kathy Hochul voiced support for Mamdani, saying “division should not prevail over the spirit of unity.”
