70,000 workers. Five cancer deaths, eight years later. Do I have this right?

My brother worked three blocks up. Three people from his office have died from some form of oral cancer since 9.11.01. He himself had surgey to remove tumors.

I worked the pit at GZ for 30 hours and coughed for a year afterwards. I know dozens of workers who have been hit with cancer or respitory ailments since then.

The New York state health department has recorded 817 deaths of emergency workers but it cannot confirm categorically how many of those were directly linked to the site.
