James Zadroga, the (non-smoking!) city detective who spent hundreds of hours at the World Trade Center site following 9/11 and then died mysteriously with a shitload of "foreign material" in his lungs, didn't die from inhaling the "toxic chemicals, fiberglass and pulverized concrete" that are killing everyone else who worked at Ground Zero for extended periods of time. Seriously! New York's chief medical examiner says so. Zadroga just died of some other lung thing, OK? Maybe he got it from breathing the HOT AIR of America-haters like you. [NYT]
