With all the people dying from the dust from the towers, should their deaths be added to the overall death toll of the 9/11 attacks?

We seem to like establishing numbers and keeping them, those dying from the dust are like victims of Agent Orange, uncounted as the victims they are.

I think you have a legitimate claim.


If a fire-fighter responds to an arson and dies, he's counted as a victim. In fact, that happened a few months back in Hamilton, Ohio, and the arsonist was recently convicted of murder.

I don't see why 9-11 responders shouldn't be counted as victims as well.

Just about every week one woman faithfully posts on the 9/11 Support Group FB page the deaths of firefighters who were at the WTC either on 9/11 or on the pile afterward from cancers believed to be related. I just can't get over how they keep coming. It's so sad.

Seventeen years out from the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, nearly 10,000 first responders and others who were in the World Trade Center area have been diagnosed with cancer. More than 2,000 deaths have been attributed to 9/11 illnesses. ...

We should be putting to death those hanging out at Gitmo who were part of that attack.
