David Shagott, president of Abatement Technologies, Inc., Duluth, GA, recently spoke about his company’s role in the cleanup. Although Shagott himself has not been to the Ground Zero sites, neither in Manhattan nor at the Pentagon, “A lot of companies that use our products have been working there,” he said.
“They all say that you just can’t grasp the magnitude of destruction until you see it,” said Diane Fort, sales manager with the company’s IAQ Product Group. “We had some customers who went to Ground Zero and stayed for weeks.”
