CHICAGO — Air pollution from the World Trade Center attacks may have resulted in smaller babies among pregnant women who were in or near the collapsing towers, preliminary research suggests.
Being at or near the Towers as they collapsed would easily do it. The sheer trauma of the experience would upset the health of the mother. Add in a lungful of concrete dust (which is nasty stuff in and of itself) and you probably will affect the babies.

I read about this in the paper today. The babies didn't seem to be seriously affected.

Oh no....

NYC for using such toxic materials in the buildings

NYC for making such buildings that would be tempting targets for terrorists

News services for showing the tragedy which led to my problem...

My thoughts come across better in Poes post. Also I fear this will be drummed up massively by the media.
