Just the amount of cancer that spiked over the years following the attack was horrible. : p
It's a consequence of war that I don't see discussed very much - Burning buildings, collapsing buildings, the chemicals left over from explosives, various fuels and other chemicals, all take a toll on the survivors of modern armed conflict and I rarely if ever see that accounted for. Like Fallujah, with the spike in birth defects after the battle in 2004. It doesn't have to just be from DU. There are many other toxic materials that are released in to the air when a building is destroyed.
