I just saw a forensics program by Michael Baden, the forensics expert. The show was about autopsy evidence that unequivocally concluded that the death was due to his first responder action on 9/11 and breathing in the particles from the aftermath of the buildings falling down.

There are-right now- 12,000 first responders who are now suffering with 9/11 lung-related injuries. Over 800 police officers and firefighters have taken disability due to their first responder action on 9/11. Part of this was they rushed in to help and weren’t properly protected or trained for a situation like that.

Soon there will be many more than 3,000 victims of 9/11.

On top of all that are the incredible heroic rescue dogs that died as a result.

The show is mentioned here.
