What is the ‘secret’ aftermath of the 9/11 attacks?
Officials are yet to reveal information on what they knew in the aftermath of the attacks. "Thousands of 9/11 responders and survivors have a right to this information, said by " Rep. Carolyn Maloney
Maloney and Rep. Jerry Nadler have asked Adams, a former cop and 9/11 responder, to disclose the city's records on what then-Mayor Rudy Giuliani knew from the onset about the health concerns posed by the dust and smoke at Ground Zero, but kept the warning information hidden.
According to insiders, Mayor Adams is refusing to reveal a stash of potentially damning records indicating that the city covered up warnings about serious air and health threats facing New Yorkers.
On Saturday, sources validated a New York Times article that a memo from an assistant to then-Deputy Mayor Robert Harding in early October 2001 claimed the city faced up to 10,000 liability claims.
Officials said that the document is "privileged.". Other records are being reviewed, but have been withheld due to "ongoing and possible litigation."
City lawyers have informed Nadler and Maloney that if the feds grant the city protection from future lawsuits, Adams may release the records.
Adams appears to keep about $300 million from a $1 billion defense fund set up by Congress shortly after 9/11 to handle claims related to the World Trade Center cleanup, according to the report.
The WTC Captive Insurance Co., which manages the fund, paid more than $700 million to resolve a collective lawsuit filed by 10,000 Ground Zero responders in 2010. With a few exceptions, it has been largely dormant for a decade, following the reopening of the federal 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund in 2011.
To date, the VCF has distributed more than $10 billion to responders and others who have been determined to have suffered from a 9/11-related illness and have waived their right to sue.
9/11 Environmental Action, for example, seeks transparency. Director Kimberly Flynn stated that the city is "continuing to cover up bad judgments" that, according to activists, failed to protect 9/11 workers and those who lived, worked or went to school in Lower Manhattan.
According to Andrew Carboy, a lawyer for 9/11 responders, the city has a history of withholding critical documents. Carboy learned in 2010 that it had purposefully concealed a 25-page "Respiratory Protection Program" that required safety equipment for FDNY personnel in the event of a disaster, including a building collapse.
The paper was considered "irrelevant" by the city, but it was required to be sent over. It was discovered that firemen lacked "air-purifying respirators" while digging amid the rubble.
How many people died as a result of the terror attacks in the US on 9/11?
The 9/11 attack have a series of airline hijackings and suicide attacks carried out in 2001 against innocent in the United States by the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda.

In New York, 2,750 people were killed, 184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania (where one of the hijacked flights crashed as passengers attempted to retake the plane).
Has the US had any terrorist attacks since 9/11?
The Nation Institute and the Center for Investigative Reporting published a report in 2017 that examined a list of terrorist incidents that occurred in the United States between 2002 and 2016. It discovered 115 far-right-instigated terrorism events. 35% of these incidents were foiled (no terrorist acts were carried out) and 29% resulted in fatalities. These incidents resulted in the deaths of 79 people.

19 terrorist attacks were inspired by the far-left. 20% of these terrorist incidents were foiled (no terrorist acts were carried out) and 10% resulted in fatalities. Two of these attacks were "plausibly" connected to a criminal with left-wing views and resulted in seven deaths.
How many hijackers were there in the 9/11 attacks?
Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was the chief operational planner of the September 11 attacks, who had spent his childhood in Kuwait.
They were 19 men hijackers linked with the militant Islamist organization al-Qaeda. They were from four countries: 15 were Saudi citizens, two were from the United Arab Emirates, one was from Lebanon, and one was from Egypt.
The hijackers were organized into four teams to carry out the attacks, each led by a pilot-trained hijacker who would commandeer the airplane with three or four "muscle hijackers" who were prepared to help subdue the pilots, passengers, and crew. Each team was given a separate flight and a different target to crash their planes into.
Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi were the first hijackers to arrive in the United States, settling in San Diego County, California, in January 2000.
In the mid-2000s, three hijacker pilots, Mohamed Atta, Marwan al-Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah, went to South Florida for flight instruction. Hani Hanjour, the fourth hijacker pilot, landed in San Diego in December 2000. The remaining "muscle hijackers" arrived between early and mid-2001.
