Title A name given to the resource Department of Justice Emails Description An account of the resource The Department of Justice received more than 11,000 e-mails in response to the agency's public solicitation for comments upon its plans to distribute the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund of 2001 established by Congress to benefit the victims of September 11 and their families. These e-mails have been organized here by date. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. Thursday, March 07, 2002 10:01 AM PAIN & SUFFERING Can someone please explain to me the logic behind the formula used to determine the award for "pain and suffering". I can understand making the amount of recovery identical for each victim. And if I understand the concept of the "pain and suffering" award correctly (paid for the pain and suffering of the victim, NOT THE PAIN AND SUFFERING OF THE SURVIVING FAMILY) how then do you determine that if a victim with 10 children was killed instantaneously, their award is so much greater than that for a single victim with no children that was alive and trapped in sheer hell for 1 1/2 hours. Is the award the way you present it then, not based on the suffering of the victim but, based instead on the suffering of the family? Something does not make sense here. My son worked for on the 104th floor of Tower 1. The tapes of the 9-1-1 log (which are a matter of public record) prove that there were people alive and trapped on the very high floors of 1WTC begging for help for at least one hour or more of pure hell after the plane hit. Don't tell me that THEY did not suffer! And don't tell me that having children (and the more children that you have) increased your suffering! Your formula for "pain and suffering" is UNFAIR.
