No kidding....

However, her cancer may well have been the result of the exposure to superheated and chemical laden dust, as was the case with the police, firefighters, and EMS personnel.

One would think it would have been her lungs, rather than her stomach, that would have been affected by this event. But, cancer is chaos. There seems to be no rhyme or reason behind how it behaves sometimes.

Add 1 more to the millions murdered by Islam.

I feel for her. I was in an elevator two blocks from Tower 1 when the first plane hit, and we felt it. What I emerged to was a war zone, replete with smoke, debris, shrapnel, and of course horrible pieces of human flesh that I still dream about. So many turned to drugs or alcohol or had wrecked lives or marriages who experienced it. It is PTSD as real and as impactful as those in combat. Rest in Peace, Marcy.

The deleted post was merely an observation that a decade of drinking and drug use, probably compounded by a general lack of care for herself, were more likely the cause of her demise than some mystery illness.

There was no other value judgment either expressed or implied, but some here can't resist flexing ther moral outrage muscles.

Agreed. I hope she found peace, and was welcomed into heaven.

Sorry! Just looked for a link to asbestos and the WTC and didn’t look too closely. The issue of all the cancer issues after 9/11 is very real though. Lots of firefighters are fighting mesothelioma right now.

Never forget, unfortunately Obama has.

Forgot??? Just as John Friggin Kerry,Bill Ayers,and many other Rats of today loudly rooted for Ho Chi Minh in the 60's many of them today root (sometimes silently) for the Religion of Pieces today.

And I'd bet the clothes on my back that Obola is one of them.

One of the firefighters who spent a full week at the 9-11 site recently retired due to non-Hodgkins lymphoma, which in his case was not respiratory, but developed behind one of his eyes. Given the number of cancers experienced by 9-11 responders and others in the vicinity of the attack, well beyond statistical norms, it is likely that the toxic stew, including asbestos, generated by the crashes and subsequent explosions and fires triggered these long-term effects.

Her addictions probably didn’t help. But a lot of people there that day and for weeks after have been having health issues related to all the chemicals and junk in the air.

Just look at how many of the dogs that were working there for weeks, first looking for survivors and then remains, died of cancer or other odd diseases. Many had lifespans greatly reduced. One I read about was about two and died at age 5 when the normal lifespan of the breed is 10-15 years.
