Dust: The Lingering Legacy of 9/11 (2021)

The September 11th attacks continue to kill. 2,996 people lost their lives that day, however, by 2021 that number will be surpassed by the deaths from 9/11 related illnesses. With the twentieth anniversary of 9/11 approaching, the World Trade Center Health Program has counted nearly 10,000 first responders, residents, workers, and students with cancer resulting from 9/11 dust exposure. For many, the status of a 9/11 survivor comes with gruesome health complications and, all too often, leads to a painful death.
