"A WAITING NIGHTMARE IN NYC."
Franklin's Focus: 9/3/07 - Most of my readers will immediately guess that I'm going to discuss the vast fallout of white powder that descended on most of Manhattan over a period of two or three weeks. That, dear reader, is exactly what I'm going to do, albeit in a highly abbreviated form.
Due to the extreme lightness of billowing, lethal, microscopic particles, blanketing Manhattan, they took days and probably weeks to completely settle down on open surfaces or to drift into apartments, stores, offices, taxis, subways, restaurants, bars and so forth. These microscopic particles are of such tiny size, they entered all structures or vehicles whether the windows were tightly closed or not.
Only extraordinary sealing could have kept these particles from entering almost all closed spaces. As for migrating into the subways and subway cars, they would have been carried into the stations and subway cars in vast numbers by the clothing of passengers who had been on the streets. Thusly transported by humans, these particles probably eventually contaminated nearly every surface within subway cars, taxis, and buses.
Those employees who worked in Manhattan on 9/11 and walked through the thick clouds of dust on that day, carried the particles home with them to contaminate their houses or apartments. In this way, their spouses and children and pets were also contaminated. With taxis and subway trains being contaminated by the clothing of passengers, the deadly particles traveled the rest of the city and even further to suburbs or wherever taxicabs, subways, and trains travel to.
In short, a huge number of New York City inhabitants were exposed to a variety of microscopic fibers, all of them belonging to the asbestos family. There are seven members in this family, all of them lethal. A single particle, if breathed in, can kill if it lodges in just the right spot. Since Manhattan was doubtlessly inundated with trillions of such deadly particles, tiny carriers of death that entered countless living, working, and traveling spaces used by the people of that city. It is, therefore, a near certainty that huge numbers of New Yorkers have been infected by members of a lethal family of microscopic barbed spears.
