From 911Encyclopedia:
Totally ignored by the US media, many of the NY-firefighters doubted the official story of the Sep11th attack and demanded an independent investigation of the Twin Towers collapse, which was ignored. (-> Firefighter Tape) In autumn 2002, as reported in the NY Post, many firefighters had still problems with depressions. On September 26th 2002, one of them, Gary Celentani, a member of Squad 288, which lost 8 members at the WTC, committed suicide with a gun in front of a makeshift shrine he built to friends and colleagues lost in the terror attack. He released a suicide note, in which Celentani said, a "recent breakup with his girlfriend" drove him to kill himself. Source: http://www.nypdnews.com/fdnysuicide92702.html
In November 2002, the NY Firefighters still had been part of downplayed local news. Eight firefighters, busted while protesting plans to cut the number of Bravest recovering human remains at Ground Zero, started to sue the city for false arrest. The firemen in the lawsuit are Michael Carter, Sal Civitillo, Michael Destefano, Victor Fiorella, Matthew James, Thomas Manley, Sean Nealon and Michael Tierney. The city Legal Department and NYPD declined comment on the suit. Firefighter-Reports from Sep11th: http://www.firehouse.com/news/2002/7/7_P911.html
