Opinion | What 9/11, Cancer and the Palisades Fire Taught Me (Gift Article)

posting a gift link to this excellent essay by Dan O'Brien about watching his world burn, twice: Once in NYC on 9/11 and once in the Palisades Fire in LA. Both O'Brien and his wife developed cancer from toxic air—which seems timely given the revelations of this week www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Grateful to @sternbergh.bsky.social & NY Times Opinion for recirculating today my essay about the Palisades Fire and the far-reaching health effects of 9/11. Sadly relevant again in light of recent disclosures about toxic air from WTC dust, smoke, and ash www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
