Many remember the haunting photograph: A woman wearing business attire and pearls is covered head-to-toe in white dust, her hands held out helplessly before her, as she makes her way out of the World Trade Center's damaged North Tower on September 11, 2001.
She survived that day, getting out before both towers of the trade center crumbled and killed 2,753 people in the deadliest terror attack on U.S. soil.
But the woman in the photos, known to most as the "Dust Lady," died Tuesday, her family said. Marcy Borders was 42.
She had been battling stomach cancer since last year
People who were never at 9/11 get cancer left and right as well. Is there anyway to tell if where someone got it from?
NYC hospitals do yearly or bi-yearly checks on first responders or recovery workers, they run programs. My friend's dad is one of them. Clearly the local medical community thinks there's a link. I don't know who wouldn't, given what was in that toxic dust.
I ask this because I honestly don't know, were the Towers built before the ban on Asbestos? Also wonder about all the fire retardant materials used to coat the steel structure, and how toxic it may have been.
Very sorry to hear this survivor died the way she did.
RIP.

There was asbestos on some of the floors of at least one tower.
Very sad. Will she be added to the official list of victims?
Doubtful since it can't be proven (that I'm aware of) that this caused her cancer.
