The families of those who were killed in the 9/11 attack are enitled to compensation from the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Most families have opted to take this compensation for their loss. Two families, however, have declined compensation from the Fund for their losses and instead are pursuing individual lawsuits against the airline security companies and others.

According to news reports, in order to settle, the families are requiring that evidence gathered during the lawsuits be displayed in writing at the National 9/11 Memorial and Museum. The families want the public to know what happened that day.

This is a brave and bold move by these two families. If their requests pan out, the public may have a much clearer picture of not only the attacks that day but also the events leading up to the attacks. If that happens, those involved will have no alternative but to face accountability.
