Exclusive: 9/11 Claims Another Hero
City Transit Worker Dies From Rare Blood Cancer
CBS) NEW YORK There are new worries about the health of workers at Ground Zero following the death of a city transportation worker assigned to the site.
Patricia Rooney says toxic dust killed her husband, Phillip. She is still coming to grips with what she lost.
She buried her husband of 12 years on Monday, a city transportation worker who was 35 when assigned to work at Ground Zero, 38 when the blood cancer started to waste him and 41 when he died. She has no doubt it was the toxic dust and smoke of 9/11 that took Phillip before his time.
"He was fine until he went down there, a totally healthy man," Patricia said. "Prior to 9/11 he didn't have a job where he was associated with these high risks that are associated with leukemia like the benzene and all the toxins. His job was not like that. He had no job like that. There was nothing in his life to indicate for him to get cancer or the type of leukemia he got."
