On September 11, 2001, the Twin Towers were attacked by two airplanes and collapsed. The death poll was about 3,000 people dead. When the towers collapsed, the were effects pretty harsh. The effects were that the dust clouds affected people's health like it affected the sizes of newborn babies and people were diagnosed with cancer later in their years. Studies show that pregnant women who were at the beginning of their pregnancy and who were around the collapse of 9/11, had a higher probability of premature delivery. Another concern was asbestos. Asbestos was used in the construction materials to make them stronger and heat resistant. But it also causes cancer and respiratory diseases. Reports show that an estimated 410,000 to 525,000 people were exposed to the toxic dust.
