Death benefits have finally been awarded to the family of Patrick M. Murphy, a NY State court law enforcement officer who died of cancer caused by his work on the bucket brigade at the World Trade Center after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, reports Jim Sams for Claims Journal.com.
Retired NYPD Detective Barbara Burnette, 58, died on December 30, 2021 of World Trade Center-related lung cancer, report Thomas Tracy and Larry McShane for the New York Daily News.
Detective Burnette spent 23 days at the recovery after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Lung disease forced her into early retirement in 2006 and her health deteriorated since that time.
Despite lung issues and other World Trade Center-related illnesses, Burnette was one of the many recovery workers with serious illnesses who fought for 9/11 healthcare funding in Washington.
The trial of the November 13, 2015 terrorist Salah Abdeslam and other defendants in Paris has been delayed as he has tested postive for Covid-19. Abdeslam is the only survivor of the terrorists from the Paris and Saint-Denis attacks, reports Helene Sergeant.
The trial began on September 8, 2021.
