GoKawiilNYC surgeon: 9/11 health toll continues 25 years later, new memorial moment added
A retired NYPD officer treated for lung cancer linked to ground zero exposure describes losing multiple friends—construction workers, firefighters and police—to cancers and respiratory illness in the years after 9/11. The 25th anniversary ceremony at the World Trade Center will include a new moment of silence honoring those who died from post-exposure illnesses rather than the attacks themselves.
