The first verified case of mesothelioma and most likely not the last. A grim post 9/11 reminder of the atrocity committed by followers of the religion of peace.

A pending lawsuit alleges more than 20 deaths have been linked to ground zero exposure. Unfortunately for the lawsuits, mesothelioma typically takes 20 to 30 years from exposure to manifest.
I guess some could show up in 4 1/2 years, but a large number seems unlikely.

"The first verified case of mesothelioma and most likely not the last. A grim post 9/11 reminder of the atrocity committed by followers of the religion of peace."
This tragic death resulting from mesothelioma is as surely the result of terroism as the deaths on 9-11.
To: Calpernia
Sad and a poignant reminder that we must NEVER forget and never let our guard down. Prayers up for the bereaved, may the circle be unbroken in Heaven, in Jesus' Name, amen.

OK, this is in my field. I was under the impression that the World Trade Center didn't contain asbestos because the environmental concerns were too great when it was built. Mesothelioma is caused by asbestos exposure. Was there asbestos exposure in the aftermath of 9/11? Could she have been exposed to asbestos at any other time in her life? Mesothelioma usually does take a long time to develop. If it was a 9/11 exposure,then the terrorists have claimed another life.

Asbestos was used in tower 1 until about the 45th floor, as a heat retardant for the structural steel. It was discontinued after that. It wouldn't have made much difference if it had been used in the upper floors, because it would have been stripped off the structural steel by the impact of the airliners that hit the WTC. Morons sometimes score with a lucky shot, and 911 is proof of that.

Thanks for the info. Knowing it was used, in part, in the WTC is helpful.The only sticking point is the usual time-lag in the development of the Mesothelioma. It really usually does take years and years. If the authorities can't find another asbestos exposure in her history then maybe her case will change the conventional wisdom

Hope they are suing Osama. Or the nut-cases around the world who danced in the streets after 9/11.

Yes, I think 2 years does not correlate well, too. I'd think 30 years, more likely. (NOT a scientist).

"Who are they suing? "Probabaly, and I think rightfully, our government agencies who rushed forward to proclaim that all was safe, no health problems, for the workers within a very short time after the attack.
