Remembering the Women Who Rushed Into the Towers on 9/11

September 12, 2021

This weekend marks 20 years since terrorists crashed two planes into the World Trade Center, killing nearly 3,000 people and hurting thousands more. As the towers fell, New York firefighters rushed inside, while survivors ran for their lives. A handful of those brave first responders were women. Ten years ago, they shared some of their memories with Soledad, wanting to make sure the roles they played on 9/11 would never be forgotten.
