Firefighter and police inequity

Dear Mr Feinberg, NY Policemen and fireman, who heroically perished at the
wtc disaster,and who saved the lives of 99% of the people in the buildings
below the floors struck by the planes, are entitled to absolutely nothing
according to your plan. They risk their lives every day and their pension
plan is their reward for this risk, not their meager salaries, as they make
30% less than surrounding communities. Their rights to a lawsuit have been
stripped by Congress as nothing will be left of the airlines insurance when
the creditors and government get at it. My son perished in this disaster and
it is great to know that you consider his life to be worth ZERO. No amount of
money can replace him. The rich airlines were protected and the little guy
gets stung again. It is truely sad that I will never see his smiling face or
know what it like to have a grandchild. I am a firefighter and work at Ground
Zero in the recovery effort. If you could come here for one day and work by
my side, you would see terrible and horrific sights which would enlighten
you and make you very sympathetic to the 3,000 heroes who perished that day.
The government (FAA) is wrong to have allowed people to bring knives and
boxcutters on board. Step up and take some responsibility for this
disaster.Don't give ZEROES to HEROES.
