On Sept 12th, 'everyone was compassionate': The world needs 'to be together again' - Richard Roeill

FRANCE 24’s François Picard talks to Richard Roeill, former New York Firefighter and 9/11 First Responder. Roeill’s testimony reframes the legacy of September 11th not as a historical event confined to a single day, but as living history. The former New York City firefighter describes an anniversary that reactivates trauma, while the illnesses suffered by first responders make the consequences of Ground Zero ever-present decades later. He says that responders were misled about the dangers they faced and demands accountability and long-term healthcare for those exposed to the toxic air.
