Look at Charles Whitmans victims. David Gunby was shot in 1966 and died in 2001. Ruled a homicide because, despite living for decades with the injury, it ultimately caused his death.

I remember there being 9/11 victims who didn’t die for a few years after 2001.

They're still dying to this day from cancer and other illnesses caused from all of the dust and debris.

Oh, they’re still dying today. There were so many horrible 70s toxins released by the collapse.

My dad did air monitoring for stuff like asbestos abatement, and we lived in New York right outside NYC when 9/11 happened. He showed up to help, also took some air samples himself. I definitely vividly recall him telling me that basically everyone who was there absolutely was exposed to ALL KINDS of shit in the air. He still has the hardhat signed by Giuliani somewhere.

Major respect to your dad for being there and helping out. I hope he is - and continues to be - in good health.
