When she mentioned the survivors guilt I really resonate with that. I was in the Manchester bombing and I often asked myself why did I survive but young kids, parents and other people didn’t. In some sense it’s bittersweet to know that you’re not crazy because other people (as sad as it is) have similar feelings. Thank you for this interview, it’s really healing to see how other people have continued nearly 20 years after this incident and done great things.

My cousin is also a survivor. I finally got a chance to call her to hear her full story just a few years ago and I’m so glad I did, and was even more thankful that we still have her after hearing what a close call she had. She worked on the 101 floor with one of the companies that had the highest loss of employees in the S tower. She’s an army vet so she made it her business to always be early to work, but something made her take her time and get a coffee in the subway area (missing the event of the first plane hitting the N tower). She took the subway to work and when she finally got to the elevator of the south building, she was told by Port Authority that they were not letting people up without verifying with employers because something had just happened to the North tower. Her boss then told her not to worry about it and to just wait things out outside the building because he had already begun evacuating certain departments anyway. So she decided to take a walk around for a few minutes and as she was walking she heard a massive bang that shook the ground and she said without even looking or knowing what happened she bolted away from the buildings toward the nearest subway she could find that wasn’t crammed with people (the sound was the second plane hitting the south tower). By the time she got there, the subways weren’t running and phones weren’t working. She finally found a bus that took her home and due to immense traffic, she got there hours later. She said the moment she walked into her apt and her mother saw her, her mom flew to her crying and holding her like she saw a ghost bc she swore my cousin had died. Meanwhile my cousin still had NO IDEA what had happened bc she’d spent hours on a bus just to get 10 miles north back home. Her mom sat her down in front of the tv where she saw smoke saying, “THEY’RE GONE! THEY’REGONE!” and it took her a moment to realize what her mom was talking about and that she was looking at the spot where the twin towers stood earlier that morning. My cousin without a doubt would have died had she made it past Port Authority to the elevator that day. She lives in another state now and to this day has no desire to go back or visit NY, this is a girl who was born and raised there. Gives me shivers just thinking about it all because I remember coming home from school and my mom crying because no one was able to contact my cousin nor my grandmother (who was in lower Manhattan at the time) until much later that day.

Yeah - I noticed at one particular part towards the beginning, she looks up (as most people do when recalling something from memory) but instead of readjusting her gaze back to the camera once she she accessed the memory, she is almost “frozen” in the upwards gaze and she switched to present tense. She’s literally reliving the memory instead of simply recalling it. It’s fascinating what our brains [can] do when something traumatizing happens, specifically trauma that an individual survives that many others don’t. Her story was really incredible to listen to and she did a wonderful job explaining everything. I’ve listened to the more well known accounts from that day, the audio from the planes & towers - both 911 calls and messages to loved ones - but hearing these lesser known stories is just as moving and emotional.

Everything is different depending on when you left the building each minute changes the environment severely. 💯 also if you were in tower 1 or 2 and the floor you were on . Seeing people pushing others out of the elevator because it was too heavy to go . Was not orderly it was life or death struggle to survive. The jet fuel pouring down in another elevator and flames shooting out . Some people escaped unscathed and others had to climb down burned severely and broken bones . Stepping over the weak who couldn't go on . What a difference between one's experience to another's.

It's amazing that the whole world could see what had happened, but people in the towers were unaware.

I have no personal connection to this tragedy. Each year on this day I do something to remember the events. I have watched videos, spoken to family members and friends of their recollections. I have watched many survivors’ interviews. This was a compelling recounting of one person’s experiences that day. Thank you both.

A good friend of my daughter survived the towers. As she was helped from the Subway area under the towers up to the sidewalk level, bodies and body parts were hitting the pavement. It was quite traumatizing for several immediate years. And she told me just when she was ready to again to commute by subway instead of the bus from New Jersey that she was taking, the news of the London subway ricin poison attack came out. Super difficult time for her.

As I continue to listen to these personal stories I'm struck by how every person who was there has a story. It's remarkable and I want to keep knowing then. I know too that all the people who passed had lives and stories as well. Little reminders to enjoy and respect life

Love these stories. It would be scary to only be 22. Yikes. Whole life ahead of her

i was 19 years old and in my second year of college. I remember coming downstairs getting ready to leave for my political science class and seeing it on the news. It was after the first plane hit and I saw the second plane hit. I don't think anyone who was alive that day will forget where they were and what they were doing. Now I am 39 years old and I can't believe all this time has gone by already.

This is so fascinating. So glad that you headed with determination towards the exit when you believed it was just a kitchen fire. I've been spending the last few days listening to survivors' stories. I was in my 20s working in ''the square mile'' in London 9/11 and we felt such an affinity for the Americans who just headed off to work one morning and had their lives obliterated. I worked for Aon and we used to talk to people on the 101 floor of the north tower (I now know). I think I was just so obsessed by the logistics, which tower was hit first, which tower came down first. It's only now 20 years later that I'm sitting here obsessed with the people who escaped and *who got to live the last 20 years* .

I worked at the farm across from his as teenager and he was always such a nice guy, everyone liked him. I pass by his house/farm everyday. His family still owns the farm and his brother runs it now. It really is such a horrible tragedy and it’s a hard thing to comprehend even 20 yrs later. My moms high school friend and his wife were also on that flight that day ironically. That was really hard - finding out about the people we knew that either died that day, or people we knew that lost someone that day.

I heard two stories of one man who returned from his honeymoon the day before & his wife cooked him breakfast, two stations before he would normally get out, he realized he shat himself, he got out of the train went up to get a taxi back home, paid the taxi driver a huge amount of money. He got home had a shower & when he was redressing he saw the 2nd plane hit the tower, the tower he was destined to be in. His wife's bad cooking saved his life. Another man got down the road & remembered he had not put the bins out. He missed his usual train & by the time he got the next one the first plane had hit. So these two men had such lucky escapes by happenstance.

9/11 was the day I truly understand about firefighters: Selfless heroes to me forever

I had just gotten off the #2 Subway on Williams and missed the first plane but when I got into my building the second hit and my building shook like it had been hit by something. And there was a delay of impact noise took about a couple of seconds and them Boom. We put our hands on the windows and felt the heat two blocks away. Those windows were facing the towers. The hugs holes and all that paper raining down like it was snowing. I got the hell out of dodge. I got right back on a subway that had no business being at that station but everything was unraveling fast. When I got back to Park slope Brooklyn the building had fallen and all this smoke was coming our way. The rest was a night mare with war planes flying over and as we know they were too late to do anything. Going back to work two weeks late with all the horrible smell of burning bodies and everything else under the sun with military and dogs and their vehicles was crazy.

I'm so glad she survived. I can't imagine at 22 having gone through this. I was in middle school when it happened, and at that time I think the most frightening thing for me at that age was knowing that the country wasn't safe, that potentially everyone was unsafe. I didn't have the maturity or imagination to focus on the lives of the individuals who suffered, which was probably a silver lining in retrospect. Only now am I able to process these stories and really take them in, and it's more than heartbreaking. I remember like all of us, watching the TV in shock, as the same footage of horror played again, and again...and again. 9/11 was so disorienting that my mom actually (probably sleep-deprived) had a car accident the next morning taking us to school. Luckily everyone was ok. My boyfriend unfortunately knew one of the stewardesses who was killed, she was his babysitter :(

So everyone is walking through the streets, people are taking drinks out of her coffee to clear the dust out their mouths. She said she was alright as long as she had that cup to hold onto.

I’m so glad I stumbled upon this interview, it was such a great one and her story was so enthralling. Her voice and humbleness was inviting to listen to. I have yet to listen to an entire interview because they’re so sad to hear but for some reason I couldn’t stop. I believe it had to do with her insight and just how humble she seems to be from her experience. I think her story of her twin daughters being her towers was super cute and like she says the irony from it, it’s just as beautiful about it all. I couldn’t even begin to imagine what these people, these survivors and the survivors of the ones that didn’t make it out have had to endure. My husband, oldest son (2yo at the time) and I (7mo pregnant) lived in NC at the time and even just being close by and being thousands of miles from home, was terrifying. We moved back home to NM that October and so I was 8mo pregnant and terrified to fly back with my 2yo, leaving my husband behind to drive back just a few weeks after the 9/11 attacks. It was an experience we have never forgotten. Every year we talk about how scared we were and how different things were for a while. Like the simplest things, like seeing airplanes flying by or seeing the trail lines from the planes and for days after there was nothing. You’d look up to the sky and see no lines, no planes and it was just an odd and unusual feeling. I commend her for being able to share her story and her experiences with us and hopefully help others with theirs as well. Great job to you as well for putting this together and with someone that was humble also. Much love💕

I will never forget as my husband and I flew back home in Houston Texas on the 9/10th. He’s from New York and we were out visiting his family. Seeing this the next day. I’m still PTSD about it all grateful she made it out. For me, I would have been back down. I would prayed for my coworkers and everyone else. But I would been back down immediately!

Been thinking about circumstances which place us in terrifying situations and 'making it out alive' - to hear this lovely lady's story helps shine through all the other ones on the hijacked planes and in the towers who didn't make it. It really helps to see life does goes on - however awful. To cherish life is what learned from her story and how blessed she was that the elevator button to her floor was not working! Spent all day yesterday on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 to memorialize as many brave souls who didn't make it by listening to as many stories could watch. May we all come together from here on out to 'never take a day for granted'.
