First Responders Not Allowed to Attend 9/11 Memorial Service

Bonnie Giebfried was a first responder during the September 11 attacks almost 10 years ago. On that day, she was twice entombed in sheared building fragments, and escaped twice. She transported people to safety and set up makeshift triage stations. She watched bodies hit the ground and suffered three asthma attacks.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg‘s decision to not allow first responders to attend this year’s memorial ceremony at Ground Zero is a fresh wound for Giebfried.

“If the Founding Fathers ever saw what had happened to us responders, they would roll over in their graves,” she told CNN. “Leaving first responders and survivors out of the 10th anniversary is absolutely ludicrous.”
