Spectrum News NY1 – John Feal on Injury He Suffered at Ground Zero on 9/11
John Feal, founder of the FealGood Foundation, speaks with Spectrum News NY1 about the injury he suffered at Ground Zero on 9/11 and how seeing other responders fall ill turned that struggle into a decades-long fight for 9/11 responders and survivors.
In the In Focus interview, Feal talks about the continuing loss of lives to 9/11-related illnesses, his frustration with how government has handled the community’s needs, and the advocacy alongside Jon Stewart that helped secure health care and compensation. He also shares his new memoir and the lessons from getting that legislation passed.
