A doctor who disappeared the day before the Sept. 11 attacks has been added to the list of those killed in the World Trade Center terror strike.
Dr. Sneha Philip, 31, will have her name read at this year's anniversary of the attacks after the city medical examiner concluded Thursday she was crushed in the rubble.
The medical examiner cited a January state appeals court decision that stated Philip, a resident at St. Vincent's Hospital Staten Island, was killed the day after she went missing.
Her family went to court to restore her name to the victim list - now 2,751 - after it was cut in 2004 because officials couldn't link her to the site.
"We waited and we waited, and everything came out right," said her father, Philip Philip. "Sadness is there all the time, but at last, you know, we are happy that they recognized that Sneha was a victim of 9/11."
