And out of curiousity, does anyone know how much of this fund is from private contributions? [/B]
My understanding is that the 9/11 victim's fund is a government funded project. The moneys donated by individuals went to other fund raisers such as the Red Cross, Firefighters & Police funds, etc.

It was designed to limit lawsuits against the government by declaring it a no-fault situation. It may extend to lawsuits against the airlines, the WTC, fire departments, etc. but I'm not sure.
