On September 11, 2001 this nation witnessed the deadliest terrorist attack in world history. Terrorist group Al Qaeda led by Osama Bin Laden claimed responsibility for the coordinated attacks which left 2996 dead including the perpetrators, and over 6000 injured. This was the most devastating attack on US soil since Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
Although the initial death toll once stood at 2996 there have been several people who worked or lived in lower Manhattan at the time of attacks that have been diagnosed with cancer as a result from exposure to toxins. A reported number of 1400 9/11 rescue workers who responded to the scene days and even months after the attacks have since died including unborn babies. This leaves the actual death toll not only unknown 15 years later, but unfortunately still rising as each person loses their battle with cancer.
