CNN 5 Things — NYC Mayor Releases 9/11 Air Quality Records. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
Hey there from CNN, I'm Cristobal Palanco with the five things you need to know for Tuesday, September, East. We have some new details on the deadly plane crash in Miami on Sunday after an Amazon cargo jet over RANETS runway. The Miami-Dade County Sheriff's Office released the names of the five people who were killed in the crash. Rollando aleman león, 55 years of age. Yoel Prorigues Naranjo, 53 years of age. Julio Cepineda, 75 years of age. Carlos Acosta Pajardo, 53 years of age. Javier Quis, Reyes Kévedo, 47 years of age. All of the victims were inside a cleaning crew van that was traveling on an airport service road. Police added that five other people were also injured. Two of them are in critical condition and two of them were the plane's pilots who were released from the hospital. The cause of the crash, though, is still under investigation. National Transportation and Safety Board Chair Jennifer Hammondy told CNN this morning the agency is analyzing the data on the flight recorder.
The NTSB scheduled a news conference for 7 p.m. Eastern, so check out CNN.com for the very latest. Nearly 25 years since the 9-11 attacks, New York City has released more than 170,000 pages of previously undisclosed records that revealed just how unsafe the air quality around Ground Zero really was in the aftermath. Those documents show City officials knew the air was unsafe to breathe, despite repeatedly telling the public otherwise. Nearly 3,000 people lost their lives on 9-11. But New York's mayor Zoraan Mamdani said this morning many more lost their lives in the years that followed. People got sick because the leaders they trusted lied and told them they were safe to breathe in toxic air. And then when they began to contend with the symptoms of the illnesses that followed, the government that had not hesitated to send them into harm's way was nowhere to be found. CNN's Gloria Pesnino has more on what these documents show. So there's a lot of information in these documents. I think particularly of note is the Harding Memo.
The Harding Memo is a document that we have long known about but could never actually look out. That member, that memo has now been released. And the memo shows that the city actually talked about potential legislation and legal action to protect themselves from the potential litigation that could arise as a result of people's exposure. And the fact that people were not being provided with adequate safety equipment. Lindsey Clancy's defense attorney made a direct appeal to President Donald Trump to pardon his client despite the case being in state court. In response, a White House official affirmed presidential partners can only apply to federal convictions. Last Friday, the case of the Massachusetts mother accused of fatally strangling her three children and did in a mistrial. Clancy's defense argued she was experiencing postpartum psychosis and should not be held criminally responsible for their deaths. The jury was deadlocked 11 to 1. Prosecutors have not yet decided whether to retry Clancy.
But her defense attorney, Kevin Reddington, now says he's willing to negotiate a plea deal. Here's what he said on ABC's Good Morning America today. I hope, however, after sitting through this trial and seeing the evidence that was presented from the government as well as from the defense that he would revisit that issue and hopefully would be able to work something out that would be acceptable to both sides. We got to take a quick break, but when we come back, a legal battle and a clock controversy could result in major shakeups in college football. So have I got news for your ears, the podcast. I am your host, Michael E. and Black. What are we going to talk about? Let's get into it. We're talking about we're back at war with Iran and Trump has the AI slop videos to prove it. Dan Driscoll quits right when we learned who he was. Trump's midterm plans involved several unpopular things, himself and data centers. Have I got news for your ears?

College football season just started and there's already some controversies to settle. Michigan beat Western Michigan 13 to 12 on a last second Hail Mary Pass. But the Mid-American conference says that final play should have never happened because replay officials improperly put one second back on the clock. Today the conference formally appealed the results of Saturday's game, asking the NCAA and the college football playoff to recognize Western Michigan as the winner. Meanwhile, a federal court filing shows the SEC is threatening to kick Louisiana State University out of their conference. It's a dramatic escalation in the showdown between the conference and one of its founding members. CNN's Kyle Feldscher is here to explain. The SEC and LSU have been at each other's throats over the last few weeks over the Tiger's decision to allow former NFL players to join their team. Thanks to some legal drama that played out in the month before the season began. While LSU hasn't fielded those former pros yet, they have left two roster spots open for them just in case. The SEC wants to keep former pros off the field but a Louisiana judge struck down the conference rule that would keep LSU from suiting up players who were in the NFL just a few weeks ago.
The SEC is asking a federal court to affirm that it has the first amendment right to enforce its own rules and if it wants the right to boot LSU out of the conference. The conference says LSU has been flouting its rules, pursuing professional players and harming the conference in the process. As this fight between the two institutions gets more intense, a decision could come Thursday. King Charles is making clear where Prince Harry and Meghan stand after their return to the UK. A new letter from King Charles says the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are not working members of the royal family and should be treated as private citizens. Harry and Meghan stepped back from senior royal duties in 2020 and just moved back to the UK late last month. A spokesperson for the Sussex says the couple was surprised by the letter. It comes as a committee overseeing royal securities expected to discuss the family's arrangements this week. Harry has been pushing to restore taxpayer-funded security for his family in the UK. All right, that's all for now. Thank you for listening and our next episode drops tomorrow morning and check out our special noon episode of One Thing,
where you'll get all the most important stories about the midterms now through November right here in this feed. Take care until next time. I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, host of the Chasing Life Podcast. Last week there was this important report that dropped that I think got a lot of attention. It's about football and there was this new study in the British Medical Journal, which estimates that of all the NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021. About 878 players, at least 25% of them had confirmed CTE. That is the disease that is caused by repetitive hits to the brain. So, CNN's resident NFL veteran, Koi Wire, he called me, we called fellow CNN sports anchor Andy Scholes, and we were talking about it. I know as a former player, anytime I forget my keys, if I get a slight headache, it pops in my head. I'm thinking like, man, I hope this is just Andy, do you forget your keys?
Oh, dear, it's supposed to say yes all the time Koi, make me feel better. Sorry. Listen to Chasing Life, streaming now, wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, I'm Anderson Cooper. On my podcast, all there is, we explore grief and loss in all its complexities. My guess on the podcast is NASCAR Champion and Hall of Famer Kurt Bush. He's grieving the recent death of his younger brother, NASCAR Champion Kyle Bush. I'm trying to grieve in ways to help people, when I want your mom, my dad, and I try to do it where I'm not biting off more than I can chew and then back off a bit. I'm trying to help everyone get through this and share stories, and it's not going to get any easier, but time will help heal. I have a nice therapist that I worked with towards the twilight of my career. His therapy helped. It has. I embraced it a few years back, whereas the younger teenager, 20-year-old, 30-year-old, nah. Talking grief, building community. That's what the podcast is all about. This is all there is.
Listen and follow wherever you get your podcasts.
