She emphasizes the importance of accessing records related to the World Trade Center collapse and its aftermath.

  • Jack's brother, who taught at BMCC, and nephew, who attended Stuyvesant High School, were directly exposed to toxins on 9/11
  • She questions the claim that there are no available reports or paperwork related to the event, citing various potential sources of information
  • Jack expresses concern about the long-term health effects, including her brother's dementia and potential genetic changes in subsequent generations
Julienne Jack
2:08:13
Good morning.
2:08:14
I'm Julianne Jack.
2:08:16
I'm Hulan Jack, the first African American borough president of Manhattan.
2:08:20
I'm his daughter.
2:08:22
I am also the sister of Hulan Jack junior who was an atomic physicist and was teaching at BMCC.
2:08:32
He was teaching a night class.
2:08:35
On September 11th, his first and only grandson was dropped off at Stuyvesant.
2:08:44
And this was the first classes.
2:08:48
And they were subjected to not only the poor the abominable abominable air, but also seeing the bodies drop out of the buildings.
2:09:03
That we have been told that there are no, reports, no none of the paperwork that goes with that horrific event is ridiculous.
2:09:19
Because not only would the information from the school, BMCC, which is a part of the university system, all these paperworks should be available.
2:09:35
Also, the building, how the building was put up and how the the 2 buildings were put up and how everything else that happened in that area should have paperwork that goes back that far.
2:09:52
I worked with airlines, Pan Am, New York Air.
2:09:56
I know that the FAA has paperwork on every one of those planes.
2:10:03
There is no reason that we cannot find out what's what went on and what was toxic coming out of those buildings.
2:10:13
As it is now, my brother is, demented, horribly demented.
2:10:20
He's into the, combative part of dementia.
2:10:25
His grandson has 2 children and another member of the group that was at Stuyvesant also has a new baby.
2:10:35
And the thing is, what genealogical changes happened due to the toxicity that they ingested?
