Number of 9/11-related cancer cases is growing....
There are at least 1,646 certified cancer cases that have been documented by Mount Sinai Selikoff Centers for Occupational Health. There are some additional 863 cancer cases among both fire and EMS personnel, according to FDNY, which keeps a separate database for its members.
That's a total of 2,509 cases. The center has screened more than 37,000 World Trade Center rescue and recovery workers since 2002. It will continue to monitor those workers and volunteers for any new cases.

in regards to the "falling man" photo posted above:

I have worked on the 24th floor of the smaller brown building (with green windows) in that photo, down on Fulton street just 4 blocks from ground zero. I have watched the new tower being built outside of my office window for the last two years and I just cannot imagine being there during the destruction that fell upon Manhattan on that day.
So many narrow streets, intersections, alleys, and general congestion on any regular day. Every street is such a valley compared to the towering buildings in every direction, literally walls of concrete. Taking the train to Fulton street you cannot ignore the silent history of tragedy in that area, thinking of the shock and fear of the victims and pedestrians in the vicinity.
While working on the 24th floor for years I often looked out my window considering the height and that's nothing compared to the 60th, 70th, 80th+ floors of the WTC. During the hurricane I had to walk up and down 24 floors due to power outages and that was rough. You simply cannot conceive of that height from the pictures alone and video footage. Seeing it daily really makes it resonate.
I think about this tragedy daily and with reminders all around it's impossible not to consider what would one do if it were to happen again. I'm way too close to the location to think of anything other than the loss of life and subsequent pain and agony for survivors and relatives. I can't even consider the political, economic, conspiracy theory stuff - I'm too stuck on the emotional side of this.

According to the documentary, as well as other press accounts of Buzzelli’s activities that day, the 34-year-old Port Authority engineer made his way to work in the North Tower and exited the elevator onto the building’s 64th floor shortly after American Airlines Flight 11 had crashed into the structure. He and his fellow employees did not begin to evacuate the building until after the South Tower had collapsed at 9:59 a.m. Buzzelli made his way down stairwell B, one of the building’s three exit stairways. He had reached the 22nd floor, he says, when the building began to collapse. He threw himself against a wall and curled into the fetal position, then, after a brief freefall, blacked out. He woke up again three hours later, he said, atop the rubble of the tower.
