I can't help but make a parallel with Chernobyl liquidators. There are about 50 confirmed deaths among them (physical trauma and acute radiation syndrome).
The numbers regarding long term effects however vary enormously. The WHO estimates it at around 4000, but some organizations states numbers over 100000, while others say it is statistically insignificant.
I wonder how a death is "WTC-related". Firefighters are at a greater risk than the general population.
So what tells us that a disease is the result of 9/11 rather than the rest of their carrier. And BTW, I hope that firefighters who displayed acts of bravery unrelated to WTC still get proper compensation for resulting health problems.
