New Jersey Legislature Honors Amateur Radio's 9/11 Role". www.eham.net. Archived from the original on August 28, 2012 . Retrieved April 8, 2018. Genelle, do you really think it was a dream?” my friend asked. I know it was not. I felt that strong grip on my hand; it was the touch of God’s hand on my life. Since September 11, that touch, that hand, has never left me. And within a month of being discharged from the hospital, she decided to marry her boyfriend, Roger. The two went to City Hall on Nov. 7 and soon started a family and moved to Long Island. Guzman-McMillan earned her Airport and Airline Management certification and has built her career with the Port Authority. Many accounts assert the mystery man was a firefighter, one of the countless brave souls who deliberately risked their lives to help others. Because this is a rumor of man triumphing over mayhem, lore remakes one of the cherished but doomed heroes of the day into a survivor, changing his real fate into one that not only spares his life, but leaves him triumphant in the face of utter devastation. Our sense of justice is thus appeased. Every single person was traumatized, and they all had their own ways of dealing with it or expressing it,” she said. “But they wanted to tell their stories. They wanted accountability.”

As the convoy approached the outskirts of Kirkuk, Huddleston tightened his grip on his .50-cal. The insurgents had observed the American convoys long enough to know the vehicles tended to bunch together as they approached the large traffic circle at the southern gates to the city, forming an attractive target. The GIs knew this, and yet, no one managed to spot the fuel can beside the road with three 120-millimeter mortar rounds wired together inside. Meziche never came home after that. Fazazi later learned that he had been arrested in Pakistan, and that a police raid had discovered explosives and guns in his house. Meziche was extradited to France. Bull, Chris; Sam Erman (2002).

No official numbers of men who helped out was released but there was evidence that they were there. Guideposts/YouTube Genelle Guzman-McMillan survived for more than a day almost completely immobilized below the World Trade Center before she was rescued.

Not all rumors hurriedly spread in the wake of a tragedy are exaggerations of the horror that was or vocalizations of fears of things potentially to come — some are expressions of hope.

My friend Rosa and others I knew had died in the collapse. I could have died too, but I was rescued, thanks to Paul. I wanted to thank him personally. When a news crew came to interview me about my ordeal, they reunited me with some members of the rescue crew who had pulled me out from the rubble. Paul wasn’t there, and I asked why he hadn’t come along with them. Dad, I’m not going to go to college,” he said, according to Huddleston’s memory of the conversation. The stepfather began to object, but then stopped himself and decided to just listen. Wallsten, Peter (April 8, 2007). "Giuliani foes plan to use 9/11 against him". Los Angeles Times. Archived from the original on November 5, 2012 . Retrieved September 28, 2010. Before Rosa and Guzman McMillan could make it out of the building — around 10:28 a.m. — it collapsed on top of them.“ Everything just went boom,” she told People. “Everything was crumbling and was just coming on top of me… I felt like I was there forever. I just thought I was dreaming. I just figured this has to be a dream. This is not happening. And I didn’t know if anybody was going to find me. I just laid there.” The New Jersey Legislature honored the role of Amateur Radio operators in a proclamation on December 12, 2002.Feiden, Douglas. "Why is Ground Zero rebuilding taking so long?

And just as she had given up, believing no one was coming to get her, Genelle Guzman-McMillan says she heard someone call out to her and grab her hand. She remembers the man saying, “My name is Paul. Just hang on. They’re going to get you out of there.” I would like to take this opportunity to commend you for your hard work and efforts," said Assembly Speaker Albio Sires. "During times of disaster, your group has displayed superior service and dedication to the safety of our citizens. I applaud the efforts of the independent radio operators and thank you for your selfless actions on September 12, 2001. Allow me to express my sincere gratitude for your participation with the New Jersey General Assembly on this day, December 12, 2002." [21]

I remember it just like if it was yesterday. I can just envision myself being under the rubble. I was in disbelief - 'is this real, am I dreaming?''Is this actually happening, am I under here?'

A 'GUARDIAN ANGEL'

Croyle, impressed by the story, immediately arranged for a meeting between Guzman and Somin. The rescue was no less miraculous, but this was a real person who had been there that day. Here, quite possibly , was the real Paul. Guzman could hear nothing of the world above her. In her wakefulness, the Trinidadian immigrant and clerical worker took inventory of her injuries, willing her mind to survey every inch of skin and muscle along her shattered legs. She repeated remembered prayers and offered up new ones. She made promises to God, and to herself. Then, at 8:46 a.m., she felt what she believed to be an earthquake. Her home island was frequently in the path of earthquakes, and she thought she had little to fear. The rescued officer goes unnamed even at this late date, leading us to believe he's a conflation of rumor with hope or just a garden variety misremembering of things read and heard with things experienced. Or he could have been Sgt. John McLoughlin, and in the manner of all gossip, his story widened to make him two men instead of just one. Yet, after his departure, she felt strangely relieved. It was almost exhilarating. Soon it occurred to Fazazi that she was free to leave the house, and to go wherever she wanted. And so for a solid month, she went everywhere.

Stewart and others repeated their pitch to Portman while Pfeifer sat in his chair, nodding and occasionally chiming in, never yielding as much as an inch of space that might have given the senator a chance to slip away. “He didn’t have to show histrionics. He didn’t have to yell. He didn’t have to scream,” Stewart said. “He sat, his body becoming as big as a boulder, and people wouldn’t get by until they looked him in the eye. And it was magic.” Films such as 2006 docudrama World Trade Center and the 2021 documentary 9/11: One Day in America talked of two Marines who rescued two trapped police officers in the rubble. U.S. Marines were headquartered at 340 Westside Hwy Bloomberg News Building. The commanding officer was Navy Commander Hardy, and executive officer was Maj. Priester. These two oversaw 110 military personnel of various branches, various police departments and EMTs. [ citation needed] U.S. Navy [ edit ]It’s going to be okay,” I said. My own voice sounded surprisingly calm. Inside, I felt anything but. The stair­well was clogged with firemen working their way up. I was afraid to stop. After a while, “I stopped thinking about it, because the mystery is too much,” she said. “Things happen in your life for a reason, and I just trust, and let it go.” I was just frozen there, just watching and not knowing,” she recalled. “It’s hard to describe the swirl of fear and concern. And then also just feeling uncomfortable in my own skin.”
