Thousands have suffered and died from 9/11 health effects. A new moment of silence will honor them
- A new seventh moment of silence will be observed on Friday during the annual September 11 commemoration ceremony to honor people whose health battles are linked to their exposure at Ground Zero.
- Previously undisclosed records released Tuesday by New York City show officials knew the air around Ground Zero was unsafe to breathe, despite public assurances to the contrary at the time.
- More than 57,000 responders and survivors enrolled in the World Trade Center Health Program have been diagnosed with cancer, while more than 7,000 first responders were certified with health conditions within the 12 months ending June 30.
- Leah Betso, whose father died of cancer in 2015, says this moment of silence validates the long-fought struggle for recognition families have endured years after the attacks.
- New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Jon Stewart continue pushing for awareness, hoping the 25th anniversary serves as a renewed opportunity to spread the word about lingering 9/11-related health risks.
