The number of first responders from the New York City Fire Department (FDNY) who have died from 9/11-related illnesses is now equal to those who died on the day of the historic tragedy.
Two further members of the FDNY died in September, bringing the total to 343, the same number as those who died in the immediate aftermath of the attacks on the World Trade Centre, the Penatgon and in Pennylvania on September 11, 2001.
