It was considered a ‘rescue effort’ for the first few months.
Even though it was obvious that they were only going to find more corpses, they were still called ‘rescuers.’
Also, the new building was delayed until 2007 because that’s how long it took to straighten out the insurance claims. Of course, President Bush couldn’t step in and tell the billionaires to speed it up.
Ah well that’s definently not what a “rescuer” is, but not your fault the media 24 years ago used poor word choice.
Also I wasn’t talking about the immediate grounds. The surrounding area was blocked off as well. Giuliani re-opened those blocks even though there was still significant contamination in the air
Correct, but your original comment said “rescuers” those are the people working immediately following the emergency.
After the first few days they should have suspended operations to obtain proper PPE. That is Giuliani’s failing.
But rescuers were going to be exposed, although there was equipment requested before the attack that would have provided more help.
Maybe it’s pedantic, but I want to be specific about how Giuliani failed.

“Rescue effort” was the official designation.
iirc it became “recovery” sometime around Christmas.
