The cancer link here seems tenuous at best.

Do some reading on what the dust and the smoke associated with the WTC contained.It's not at all difficult to make a connection.

I guess you and I define "heroism" differently.Cops/firemen/EMTs who responded to the WTC = heroic.

Garbage collectors = unionized NYC employees who do a dirty job for *very* good pay (and benefits).

if post #3 is true, then a whole lot of NYC residents (as of 9/11) are at risk.

May God save him a special grace in heaven.

Firefighters and officers are compensated too. I know officers who make well into the six digits. I know one who made nearly $300K and spends nothing on his child. Hardly a hero.

But, yes, some do heroic things.

Can’t deny there is a link to cancer and the crap in the air during/after 9-11 but the story didn’t seem to be trying to push for it - just a tribute to a man who did good things and died early as have a lot of those who were there.

WTH is his union there for? His union doesn’t provide excellent health insurance? If so, maybe if the union didn’t spent so much money on politicking, there’d be more money for better coverage.

Also, not everyone who worked on the pile and had access to it, was willing to wear personal protection equipment. I wonder if this gentleman was? Because if he didn’t, let that be a lesson. And if he did wear PPE, hopefully someone is making certain that the equipment did its job.
