The Pulse 4.12: September 11th Ten Year Anniversary

Welcome to the Pulse Four-Point-Twelve: This year marks the tenth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon. It's been a decade, but the repercussions of those attacks are still felt. We're honoring both the lives lost and the heroes made on icyou's September 11th Channel. Hear the stories of the people who were right there when the planes hit the towers.

In this first video, you'll hear from a nine-eleven first responder, who also happens to be my own aunt, Rose Oropallo. She reflects on the weeks she spent at Ground Zero, and shares her personal health struggles from the asbestos she was exposed to. She talks about other first responders who have since died of mesothelioma and other forms of lung cancer from toxic exposure at Ground Zero.

September 11th, 2001 is one of those infamous days where everyone remembers where they were and what they were doing. For some individuals what they were doing was so closely related to the attacks, this date holds an especially significant place in their own personal -- and even career - history.

In this video, we feature Dr. Thomas Joseph, an orthopedic surgeon who operated on two of the last survivors to be pulled from the rubble. The rescue and lives of these Port Authority Policemen, John McLoughlin and William Jimeno, was the subject of Oliver Stone's film, World Trade Center. The two suffered from Compartment Syndrome, and their limbs were saved by Dr. Joseph.

Both Joseph and Oropallo have remarkable stories to tell, and we know there are thousands more like them. We encourage you to share your own story. Whether it's a reflection of that day, or a personal story of how your health, or the health of someone dear to you has been affected.

The September 11th Channel is a great place to join the conversation, remember the lives lost, and support those still suffering today.
