No one expected to encounter one of the most deadly, single-day terrorist attacks in United States history on September 11, 2001.

Sunday marked the 18th annual Tunnel To Towers 5K run and walk. Thousands followed in the footsteps of a hero.

Wednesday marks 18 years since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. One of the deadliest days in modern American history.

While the events of September 11, 2001 will never leave the hearts of Americans, the aftermath continues to haunt those who dropped everything to search for survivors, recover remains and restore Ground Zero.

A new study has found higher levels of cardiovascular disease among 9/11 first responders, and higher rates associated with spending more time at Ground Zero. The study, published this month in JAMA (the peer-reviewed Journal of the American Medical Association), examined the health of nearly 9,800 New York City firefighters who first arrived at the World Trade Center site in the two weeks after 9/11. The study looked at their health between Sept. 11, 2001 and Dec. 31, 2017.
