Seventeen years after September 11, 2001, people are still dying from illnesses caused by the terrorist attacks, and soon, these deaths are expected to surpass the death toll from that dark day.
A total of 2,977 innocent people died on 9/11; more than 2,000 additional people died from diseases attributed to the attack, and close to 10,000 additional first responders and people who were near the World Trade Center and exposed to toxic debris on that day have been diagnosed with cancer, USA Today reports.
