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

Who are they suing?

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.

Gosh! You mean that working at ground zero is not a guarantee against getting ill?

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.

Emotional Goodbye For Ground Zero Worker
EMT Dies From Lung Disease

CBS) BRONX Hundreds of paramedics, EMT's and firefighters came to pay their respects to Deborah Reeve, an EMT for 17 years, Deborah spent her life giving to others until the very end.

Patrick Bahnken, President of the Uniformed EMT's and Paramedics, spoke to CBS 2 saying, "I think that we have lost a tremendous paramedic, a wonderful wife, mother, sister, daughter, friend. Deborah Reeve is an angel on earth, now she is an angel in heaven."

(snip)

Lt. Susan Gonzalez, a friend of Deborah's said, "What's scary about that is that we all spent time down there. After Felix passed away, now Debbie and numerous others, we are all frightened as to who is next. But it won't stop us from doing what our job is, service to the city is to take care of the people first."

Lt. Gonzalez, a mother herself, spoke with Deborah about her fears after her friend was diagnosed with lung cancer two years ago this month. "First and foremost her children, her daughter growing up now without a mother, it's devastating."
