Sister Cindy Mahoney: 9/11 Nun

A nun who worked at the World Trade Center site in the wake of the 9/11 attacks died November 1, 2006 after a battle with lung disease that she said stemmed from inhaling toxic dust at ground zero... Sister Cindy Mahoney had volunteered at ground zero to bless the remains of victims. Attorney David Worby said Mahoney, who was suffering from interstitial lung disease, hoped her story would help prove the connection between exposure to dust at the World Trade Center site and fatal illness.
