BUILDINGS ON MARCH 30.

00:45.033 --> 00:49.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WHY WAS THAT NOT PUBLICLY KNOWN

00:47.000 --> 00:51.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:35%

WE HAVE WITH THE CITY OF CHICAGO

00:53.233 --> 00:59.366 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
THE NEIGHBORHOOD KNOW.

00:54.200 --> 01:01.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
IF YOU CUT THE SIDEWALK IF YOU

BUILD AN APARTMENT YOUR NEIGHBOR

00:59.366 --> 01:07.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
HAS TO KNOW BUT IF YOU IMPLODE A

01:01.900 --> 01:09.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
BUILDING NOBODY NEEDS TO KNOW.

01:03.733 --> 01:11.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> AND THE MAYOR SAID IT DID NOT

BEEN COMPLETELY NONTRANSPARENT,

01:14.366 --> 01:19.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
HAS GIVEN NO INFORMATION TO THE

NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE PAST THREE

01:17.666 --> 01:23.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
YEARS, WHY THEY WOULD THINK THEY

01:19.533 --> 01:25.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
COULD TRUST THEM NOW IS

01:21.700 --> 01:26.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:47.5%
MINDBOGGLING TO US.

01:23.200 --> 01:27.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> WE SPOKE WITH A RESIDENT WHO

01:25.033 --> 01:29.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SAID THE DUST CLOUD LASTED HALF

01:26.666 --> 01:29.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
AN HOUR.

01:27.300 --> 01:31.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SOME OF IT SETTLED ON LAWNS AND

01:29.600 --> 01:33.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
PORCHES.

01:29.933 --> 01:36.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
HAVE YOU TALKED TO RESIDENTS

01:31.000 --> 01:38.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THAT HAVE HAD ADVERSE EFFECTS

01:33.166 --> 01:39.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
MAYBE BREATHING PROBLEMS?

01:36.166 --> 01:42.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> ABSOLUTELY HUNDREDS OF PHONE

01:38.033 --> 01:44.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
CALLS FROM THE COMMUNITY WITH

01:39.100 --> 01:45.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
EVERYTHING FROM CONCERNS ABOUT

01:42.133 --> 01:48.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
RESPIRATORY ISSUES TO HOW DO I

01:44.500 --> 01:51.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
CLEAN MY HOME AND CAR?

01:45.966 --> 01:52.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
WE ARE WAITING FOR THE CHICAGO

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH TO

01:51.000 --> 01:56.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
GIVE US GUIDANCE.

01:52.333 --> 01:57.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
AND WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL

01:54.000 --> 02:00.066 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
THEM HOW TO CLEAN IT.

01:56.300 --> 02:02.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
MUCH LESS THEIR CARS WE CONTINUE

01:57.666 --> 02:03.666 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
TO WAIT ON THE CITY WHO I'M NOT

02:00.066 --> 02:05.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
SURE HOW THEY WOULD PLAN A

02:02.733 --> 02:06.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
DEMOLITION WITHOUT THINKING

02:03.666 --> 02:09.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
ABOUT THOSE THINGS AHEAD OF

02:05.800 --> 02:09.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:12.5%
TIME.

02:06.466 --> 02:11.533 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
>> THEY BELIEVE THERE WAS NO

02:09.566 --> 02:13.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
ASBESTOS.

02:09.933 --> 02:14.833 align:start position:10% line:74% size:62.5%
HAVE THEY TESTED SAMPLES?

02:11.533 --> 02:16.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
AND WHAT ELSE COULD THERE BE?

02:13.233 --> 02:17.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
>> THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THINGS.

02:14.833 --> 02:19.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WE DO KNOW THAT SAMPLES WERE

02:16.733 --> 02:20.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
TAKEN FROM CARS IN THE

02:17.766 --> 02:22.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
NEIGHBORHOOD BUT THIS IS WHY WE

02:19.233 --> 02:23.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:60%
HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE

02:20.933 --> 02:25.466 align:start position:10% line:74% size:55%
ENGINEERING REPORT AND

02:22.233 --> 02:27.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT OF THE

02:23.600 --> 02:29.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
SMOKE STACK AND THE REST OF THE

02:25.466 --> 02:31.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
BUILDING SO WE CAN FIGURE OUT

02:27.266 --> 02:32.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
HOW TO BEST PROTECT OURSELVES.

02:29.733 --> 02:33.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
>> YOUR GROUP AND A LOT OF

02:31.333 --> 02:36.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
RESIDENTS ARE NOT IN FAVOR OF

02:32.900 --> 02:38.200 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
WHAT IS HAPPENING.

02:33.900 --> 02:40.133 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
THE PLANT CLOSED IN 2012 SO IT

02:36.433 --> 02:42.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
STOPPED EMITTING THOSE BLUETANTS

02:38.200 --> 02:43.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
BUT YOU DO NOT LIKE WHAT IS

02:40.133 --> 02:44.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:52.5%
GOING IN PLACE OF IT.

02:42.000 --> 02:46.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
>> FROM THE BEGINNING COMMUNITY

02:43.233 --> 02:47.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
MEMBERS WERE CONCERNED ABOUT AIR

02:44.966 --> 02:49.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:37.5%
QUALITY ISSUES.

02:46.033 --> 02:50.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
ONE MILLION SQUARE-FOOT

02:47.766 --> 02:51.966 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
WAREHOUSE MEANS HUNDREDS OF

02:49.233 --> 02:53.566 align:start position:10% line:74% size:65%
THOUSANDS OF DIESEL TRUCKS

02:50.733 --> 02:54.933 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
COMING THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

02:51.966 --> 02:55.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
WE HAVE THE SECOND WORST AIR

02:53.566 --> 02:57.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:57.5%
QUALITY IN THE STATE OF

02:54.933 --> 02:58.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:22.5%
ILLINOIS.

02:55.300 --> 03:00.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
MORE DIESEL TRUCKS WILL COMPOUND

02:57.500 --> 03:03.900 align:start position:10% line:74% size:42.5%
THAT TO BE WORSE.

02:58.800 --> 03:06.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
THE CONCEPTION OF THAT DESIGN

03:00.733 --> 03:08.033 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WAS OVERWHELMINGLY TOLD TO HILCO

03:03.900 --> 03:09.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
IT WAS NOT WANTED HERE IN THE

03:06.000 --> 03:11.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
COMMUNITY MEETINGS THEY DID HAVE

03:08.033 --> 03:12.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
THEY WERE TOLD BY COMMUNITY

03:09.100 --> 03:14.633 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
MEMBERS THIS IS NOT THE TYPE OF

03:11.100 --> 03:16.000 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
DEVELOPMENT WE WANT AND THEY

03:12.400 --> 03:17.166 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
CHOSE TO IGNORE US AND WERE

03:14.633 --> 03:18.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
GIVEN THE COMMUNITY WITH NO

03:16.000 --> 03:21.800 align:start position:10% line:74% size:67.5%
COMMUNITY SUPPORT FOR THEIR

03:17.166 --> 03:23.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:20%
PROJECT.

03:18.300 --> 03:25.266 align:start position:10% line:74% size:45%
WHEN THE DEMOLISH.

03:21.800 --> 03:27.100 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
CAME WE WERER CONCERNED HOW THEY

03:23.600 --> 03:28.733 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
WERE GOING TO PROTECT THE HEALTH

03:25.266 --> 03:30.400 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
OF THE COMMUNITY AND WE COULD

03:27.100 --> 03:32.333 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
NOT GET INFORMATION OR ANSWERS.

03:28.733 --> 03:34.233 align:start position:10% line:74% size:75%
SO WHEN THIS HAPPENED, MANY OF

03:30.400 --> 03:36.433 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS WERE LIKE

03:32.333 --> 03:36.866 align:start position:10% line:74% size:77.5%
WHAT DID YOU THINK WAS GOING TO

03:34.233 --> 03:39.500 align:start position:10% line:74% size:72.5%
HAPPEN AFTER EVERYTHING WE'VE

03:36.433 --> 03:41.766 align:start position:10% line:74% size:30%
EXPERIENCED?

03:36.866 --> 03:44.300 align:start position:10% line:74% size:80%
IT'S YES IT IS HILCO'S FAULT BUT

03:39.500 --> 03:46.600 align:start position:10% line:74% size:70%
OUR ALDERMAN'S FAULT AND OUR
