Kenneth Feinberg talked about his book What Is Life Worth?: The Unprecedented Effort to Compensate the Victims of 9/11, published by PublicAffairs, on the fourth anniversary of the attack. After his presentation he answered questions from members of the audience.

Shortly after the bombings of the World Trade Center, Kenneth Feinberg was appointed to administer the federal 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund. The fund was established by Congress to compensate victims' families as well as survivors who were physically injured during the September 11 attacks. Those who participated in the Fund were required to waive their right to sue the airlines involved in the attacks, as well as other potentially responsible entities. close
