Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, guys, today is nine to eleven, of course, and
twenty four years ago there were four terrorist attacks in
New York, in d C. And a field in Pennsylvania
that Americans will never forget. However, did you know this?
There was a black woman who was the very last
person to be rescued at the Twin Towers. No one
(00:21):
knew this. Janelle Gusman McMillan was working on the sixty
fourth floor of Tower one in the World Trade Center
when the first plane struck the North tower and then
a second plane struck the second tower. Janelle took the
stairs when the towers collapsed, and she was buried alive
for more than a day before the first responders arrived.
(00:44):
Her right leg was crushed and her face was burned.
She was hospitalized for over a month, and doctors at
one point considered amputating her leg, but a fourth surgery
saved it. According to People magazine, Fizman McMillan said, she
was in so much pain she just prayed, and then
(01:05):
she heard a rescuer call out to her, and he
saved her life. While her nightmares about nine to eleven
have long ceased, there is one lingering psychological effect She
has regrets of losing her best friend and her co workers,
and that's according to the doctor. She has that kind
of like survivor's remorse, and she's asking, why did my
(01:28):
coworkers die and I survived. She has a book called
Angel in the Rubble. It is out now and we
do want to say, of course again thank you to
all the heroes of nine to eleven. We will never
ever forget that day. Steve, did you know about this?
