9/11 Responders Are Dying as They Push for Health Funds
On Sept. 11, 2001, as thousands were dead or dying in the terror attacks in New York City, Pennsylvania and Virginia, Michael O’Connell was one of the many who rushed in to help.
“I don’t think anyone went there with the thought, ‘Don’t go there. You will get sick,’ ” Oliva tells PEOPLE. “It was the opposite — everyone was another helping hand, doing what they could.” While Crane says he does not have a total figure of deaths from 9/11-related illnesses, the illnesses are absolutely fatal for some.
More than 76,000 of the estimated 90,000 rescue and recovery workers are registered at Mount Sinai’s World Trade Center Health Program, Crane tells PEOPLE. “I was pretty shocked,” he tells PEOPLE. “I know most men rarely get breast cancer. There is no family history.” Dust scooped off the ground tested for “a lot of cancer-developing agents,” says Crane. Not just jet fuel and asbestos but fibers and metals.
