纽约市再公开4万份9/11档案：公开总数逾6万份，后续批次未来数月继续发布
位于纽约州的纽约市，市政府10月21日向市府「9月11日档案门户」（NYC September 11th Records Portal）新增上传4万份9/11相关文件，这是该市第二批公开的同类档案；加上此前已公开的2.2万份，公开文件总数已超过6万份。监督组织 911 Health Watch 当日发布声明，公布这一进展。
这批文件源于 911 Health Watch 与市长 Mamdani 政府达成的法庭协议：该组织此前依据信息自由法起诉市环保局（DEP）与市长办公室，协议要求市府分批公开这批封存25年的文件，后续批次将在未来数月内继续发布。首批公开文件超过17万页，该组织已于10月8日公布初步审查结果，称文件显示袭击发生后，Ground Zero 周边空气毒性问题的规模与范围当时已被认识。
911 Health Watch 执行主任 Benjamin Chevat 表示，恐怖分子应对当天遇难者与25年来持续承受毒性物质健康影响的人负责，但已公开的记录显示，在危害被认识之后，市、州与联邦层面并未改弦更张。无偿法律顾问 Andrew Carboy 表示，市府过去多年曾称这些档案不存在或无法找到，法院法官 Justice Clynes 裁定支持该组织后，公开才得以推进；他与另一名无偿法律顾问 Mathew McCauley 均表示，市府法律顾问（Corporation Counsel）Steve Banks 按协议承诺与时间表完成了第二批发布，该组织已着手审查新一批文件。（据 911 Health Watch 10月21日声明）
New York City Releases 40,000 More 9/11 Documents: Public Total Tops 60,000, With More Batches Due in Coming Months
New York City, in New York State, posted an additional 40,000 September 11-related documents to the NYC September 11th Records Portal on October 21, the second batch of such records the city has released. Together with the 22,000 documents already available, the public total now exceeds 60,000, according to a statement issued the same day by the watchdog group 911 Health Watch.
The release is the second installment under a court agreement between 911 Health Watch and the administration of Mayor Mamdani, settling a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit the group filed against the city Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Mayor's Office, with more batches to come in the following months. The first batch ran to more than 170,000 pages; in an October 8 release, the group said its initial review found that the size and scope of the air quality problems around Ground Zero were recognized at the time.
Benjamin Chevat, executive director of 911 Health Watch, said the terrorists bear responsibility for those who died that day and for those still suffering health impacts 25 years later, but that the released record shows the city, state and federal governments did not change course once the hazards were realized. Andrew Carboy, pro bono counsel for the group, said the city for years denied the records existed or could be located, and that a ruling by Justice Clynes in the group's favor paved the way for the disclosures. Carboy and fellow pro bono counsel Mathew McCauley said Corporation Counsel Steve Banks kept to the promised timeline for the second release, and that the group has begun reviewing the new documents.
