I'm assuming this guy worked in the same building that I was in at 388 Greenwich. He didn't even see the first plane go in like I did and he wanted compensation. What a wuss. I went back to work with the same 36th floor view of Ground Zero and had to listen to these huge BOOOOOOOMS every five minutes when the trucks full of scrap metal were dumped into the barges along the river. That and the frickin' helicopters full of VIPs that kept buzzing my building.

NO WORKER'S COMP FOR 9/11 GAWKER

A financial analyst who worked blocks away from Ground Zero on 9/11 and claimed he could not return to his job because of post-traumatic-stress disorder cannot collect workers' compensation, a state appeals court ruled yesterday.
The state Supreme Court Appellate Division unanimously ruled that Joseph Betro's problems did not arise from his job, noting that he voluntarily hung around to watch the tragedy unfolding.

Betro was working for Salomon Smith Barney, four blocks from the World Trade Center, when his building was evacuated after the terrorist attacks.
