Dan Foley was mourned as another 9/11 casualty – a victim of ground zero’s toxic air, which brought on the pancreatic cancer that took his life.
NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y. – In the painful aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, New York City firefighter Dan Foley carried the body of his firefighter brother, Tom, from the smoky rubble of ground zero.
That double dose of tragedy – and how it continues to haunt the New York City Fire Department and our nation – seemed to permeate Dan Foley’s funeral."On average every two weeks we lose a member to World Trade Center Illness," FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said in an interview before Foley's funeral."The fact that it’s all these years later doesn’t make it any easier.
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Foley's older brother, Thomas rushed to the burning towers with seven other members of the FDNY's elite Bronx-based Rescue 3. All were killed when the towers fell. Raaser described Foley's work at ground zero as a"testament to love." But noting that Foley's death was caused by his service at ground zero when he inhaled too many toxins, Raaser added that"the evil" of 9/11"sadly is still being felt."
