9/11 Nuke Aftermath

Health Officials: Number of 9/11-Linked Cancer Diagnoses Triples

In New York City, health officials say the number of people who have been diagnosed with 9/11-linked cancers has tripled. Nearly 5,500 first responders and local residents have now been diagnosed with cancers linked to the toxic smoke and dust of 9/11. That’s up from fewer than 2,000 cancer victims in 2014. Health officials have called the increase "alarming."
