This statement is false. There was no request for the AVIRIS to check for radiation. Here is the USGS request for the NASA flyover, and what they requested:

1. The EPA requested the flyover.
2. The EPA was worried about radiation at the site.

In response to requests from the EPA through the USGS, NASA flew AVIRIS on a De Havilland Twin Otter over lower Manhattan at mid-day on September 16 and 23, 2001. For these deployments, the Twin Otter was flown at altitudes of 6,500 and 12,500 feet.

How does the issue of who requested it have any bearing on what was detected?

Becasue the EPA was worred about asbestos, radiation and other toxins at the site. So it requested a flyby to see what was at the site.
