"A lot of our most experienced people died that day, and a lot of the ones who made it through are sick and continuing to show signs and symptoms of exposure. We depleted our resources -- we have a less experienced work force. And they're going to start asking why they should jeopardize their future to help people who take advantage of every photo opportunity but then don't fight to get them the medical care they really need." (Pollution and Deception ... 167)

"I've gone to so many funerals. It's always going to be in my mind. But it's time to take care of the living, and they're not doing enough of that. We'll be going to a lot more funerals if they don't." (Pollution and Deception... 166)
