9/11 Stories: Michael Barasch

Музыка

Before the attacks of 9/11, Michael Barasch’s law practice primarily represented NYC firefighters who were injured on the job. Sadly, among the 343 FDNY’ers who died that day were some of his clients and witnesses. And friends.
Barasch’s offices are steps away from The World Trade Center. He couldn’t believe his eyes, as he watched person after person jump from windows when the first tower was hit. After sending everyone home, Michael and two others waited in shock, not knowing what to do, mesmerized by the unbelievable events unfolding outside their building. When the first tower collapsed, they realized they had to get out of the building. Michael vividly remembers running north up Broadway as fire trucks speeded south to the deadly scene. It was that singular moment which most influenced his career and life’s work: his instinct was to run AWAY from the danger while FDNY’ers raced TOWARD the danger to help. Barasch says, “How in awe I am of these first responders”. He has since dedicated his practice...and his life...to help ailing first responders, along with the residents, students, workers and volunteers who were in the area and continue to fall ill and die from the 9/11 dust.
9/11 community attorney Michael Barasch has represented more 9/11 victims than ANY attorney AND he was the FIRST lawyer to legally go to bat for ailing September 11th first responders, less than 3 months after the terror attack. He has traveled numerous times to Washington to fight for all victims, clients or not, and sponsors “9/11 Stories” so that we never forget.

    My cousin was one of a team of people who helped with the cleanup. He helped clear the subway levels for a year. He is one that got cancer and thankfully survived but many many on his team got sick and never got better and most of them have lost their lives. Get checked. Get checked regularly! The sooner your illness is found and treated the better your chances are

    People don’t understand the costs not covered by insurance can really hurt at family after a Cancer battle. I went through treatment with excellent insurance for two years. We used our savings and ran up charge cards to the tune of $60,000 before I hit major medical., which included medication not covered. I needed to self administer 2 shots a day. Cost $225.00 per day. Injectables we’re NOT covered my my insurance. Just one example. Please please please register even if your healthy. Do this for your family. If you die, your husband/wife is responsible for debts. You may never use this 🙏🏼. But why would you turn down free insurance???? WHY????

    @Karin And son I liked the early point - when Michael Barasch said representing those first 1500 FDNY, and other first responders, was the most satisfying work he'd ever done to that point. It's interesting that he wasn't a high achieving law student. But he's a fighter and a scrapper for his clients. Also a real people person, and a brilliant networker. And lastly - a true blue New Yorker. You can tell it hurt when the press went for him after those first ninety days. But he clearly does not carry grudges - and used his relationship with the press to get them onside for Jimmy Androgheda's (?so) family.👏

    To Koogle: I don't think that's fully accurate. Everything I've seen says it's for everyone. Everyone who show proof of presence & has 2 witnesses, is eligible. I've since found out that the person I asked for, was not there. Someone told the story but very wrong. I do know a girl in Queens. My 1st cousin has now retired from the Metropolitan Art Museum. I'm not sure how close either of them were. I've only been to NYC twice. Once on I-95N, in a tractor trailer and then in April 2005. Went to the pit site but have no concept of the area. Thanks anyways.

THANK YOU, thank you to you and to Michael for doing everything you can to preserve these memories. This was an absolutely terrible event all so the bankers world wide (all wars are bankers wars) and the military industrial complex could MAKE MONEY from the SEVEN PREPLANNED WARS THEY WANTED TO GET US IN. This event was, according to PNAC (look it up on wiki) “The New Pearl Harbor”. Look at the people who signed that document. THEY are RESPONSIBLE for this event.
