Today we remember one of the darkest days in our history. A day that nobody has truly gotten over. We remember the life of Edna Cintron, believed to be the woman who found herself in the middle of all the chaos, with her battle for survival shown across many videos and photos. My heart goes out to her family and loved ones. May the thousands who perished that day forever rest in peace. You are never forgotten.
A huge thank you to all who risked their lives capturing footage and taking photos as events unfolded. Thank you to all who took their time and dedicated themselves to researching those photos and videos. Your work gives us a better understanding of certain things.
The Museum dedicated to all the lives lost on the 11th of September 2001 has a section where all the faces of those who passed in the towers are all over the walls. Photographs are not allowed in that section. On a blown up large canvas is the picture of the North Tower after being hit, with "the waving woman" holding on, captured by Roberto Rabanne. The 9/11 Museum and all of the people who came together to create this memorial and everything in the Museum acknowledge that the woman seen in the hole in the North Tower was later "identified as Edna Cintron." If you go, you'll see this for yourself as it's written right beside that photo. I also enourage anyone who visits that exhibit to use the touchscreen systems to search for Ednas name. You'll see more than 30 pictures of Edna and her loved ones you won't ever see anywhere else. Memories captured and donated to the museum by William Cintron. The hard work to identify many is still ongoing. If you end up visiting and seeing what I've mentioned, let me know in the comments. Rest In Peace Edna Cintron. NEVER forgotten.
I want to visit it more than any place in the world. Really, no small talk. I hope one day i can afford it. And when that time comes, i will remember this comment. So, if i don't, either i failed to make enough, or, i'm not here on this planet anymore.
Shame on the Israeli Mossad and CIA for Orchestrating this....
@@aminmalik4086 Please try and keep this post civil and free of conspiracies.
@@aminmalik4086Both those intelligence agencies are responsible for horrible actions, this was not one of them.
It’s clear that you’ve read conspiracy theories on this, I’d encourage you to also read the actual investigations.
Many blessings to Edna's soul and all of the souls who suffered so much before they died that day. A very beautiful video in honoring Edna.
A friend of mines mom was on the 97th floor of the North Tower. RIP Deepika Kumar Sattaluri. You'd be so proud of the man your 7 year old little boy turned into.
Interesting we know the same person! Amish
@@peacefulguitar38 yes! Met him from Yes Theory. We have never met in person, only online. He's such a nice guy!
Love this !!!!!!!
Bless you, bless him and bless her especially. (hugs)
I’m so sorry for his loss that’s terrible and lovely for you to let her know how well he’s turned out and also him know that she knows. Hope that made sense.
Just so you know, they haven't stopped identifying victims. They identified a gentleman in January 2024. The staff working to identify the remains said they're not going to stop until they've identified everyone.
Well aware
Wow, I didn’t know that.. how heartbreaking for the families to go all this time without knowing..
Thank you for this information. Grateful to them and their perseverance and dedication.
How does this work? I hope everyone is accounted for 😢
This information is weirdly comforting to me...
I just love that people to this day want to bring closure and some form of justice to the families...
This was a lovely, informative piece. My father, Steven P. Morello, was also a Marsh & McLennan employee who was killed on September 11th. I researched impact zones, studied videos and maps, and made hundreds of phone calls, trying to figure out where my dad would've been, and if he went quickly. Strangely, your video has the best footage I've seen of the impact zone, and the fact that there were actually people who survived the initial impact. It is an uncomfortable truth. One I greatly feared and hoped didn't happen. I had hoped my dad was killed instantly. And as you've shown, that may not have happened. But this is an important piece of history. And it shouldn't be watered down just to ease our pain. Thank you for making this.
So sorry still for the loss of your father. Peace and love ✌🏾💜
Hola amigo, espero que youtube te traduzca mi post, yo tenia 10 años cuando paso, no soy de Estados Unidos pero ese día lo recuerdo como si hubiera sido ayer, y hasta esta fecha cuando veo fotos o videos , me sigue poniendo en shock!! Descansen en paz todas esas personas
Well said. That's a courageous take.
Something you'll never know for sure. But it is a big chance it was immediate and he didnt suffer. My deepest condolences to you and your family. ❤
Rip to your father. He most likely wouldn't have suffered for long. And he could've easily died instantly. I hope my condolences are ok. My mother was in Manhattan at the time and I remember being in middle school scared and not knowing what was happening. But that doesn't compare what you have to deal with.
Does researching it help? The whole thing haunts me. I could see the smoke from all the way in Queens. It gives me a better sense of control but I didn't lose anyone.
My mother was an accountant and worked for Carr Futures on the 92nd floor of the Trade Center. Two weeks before the attacks, she switched her schedule with a co-worker due to said co-worker living in New Jersey and thought this would work out better in her favor. Prior to the switch, my mother used to leave Staten Island at 0500 to catch the ferry and commute to the Trade Center for 0715. That morning, she decided to go in early and was on her way to work when the attacks happened. Her co-worker that she swapped schedules with, along with numerous traders and fellow co-workers in her department passed away. I was told that a few who were trapped in an elevator called my mother so she can tell their loved ones goodbye for them. My mother survived both the 93 bombing, 9/11 and has been to almost two dozen wakes. This tragedy took a toll on her the first couple of years, due to the fact that people she worked with for almost 20 years are dead. Thankfully, she has gotten better over the period of time. My sister and I knew her co-workers since we were little children. I think about them from time to time. May they all rest in Heaven.........
Wow that is very sad. I'm really sorry for your loss. Receiving those phone calls must've been very hard for your mother. What an awful day. Thank you for sharing this.
I know the grief and pain is unimaginable for the victims and the families, but the coworkers who weren't there at that time, late for work, or taking the day off will carry so much of weight of 9/11 for the rest of their lives. People often forget those people and their families suffer on a scale that the average person cannot fathom. My heart goes out to your mom and your family.
😢😢😢😢😢
Yeah my cousins husband's mother was in the south tower when it was struck, she got out safely, but was absolutely horrified ever since
God bless your mother. I’m so happy to hear that she is coping better with the loss and pain she has suffered.
It’s difficult to imagine, but she has bought some comfort to the families of her friends. ❤
She stood there for something like an hour and 45 minutes. It must have felt like an absolute eternity.
😥😥

Dude the tower was hit and fell in under that so no, she didn't 🙄
@@GigGalaxy-qr8mp BWAHHHHHH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!! good joke. First only some little f@ggot would say "hi 3 year old" and was serious, second so I guess you've never been in a life or death situation hence your dumb ass take on it lastly I guarantee you the jumpers felt NO PAIN when they met their fate. You attempted but you failed, thanks for playing buh-bye now.🤣😂😅😁🤭👉
@@GigGalaxy-qr8mp aside from that what the phuk does what you're babbling about have to do with the time frame I spoke on? You can't be that stupi d...............or can you🤨
Edna was my wife's best friend. She was a wonderful lady, I will never forget that day and may she rest in peace.
I'm so sorry... Research who Barry Jennings was... he tells the official story about hearing explosions. Before you think I'm crazy No plane parts were found in 4 cites.
Glad she's got people who knew her and loved her to keep her memory alive and well 🥰
I hope your wife and you have found peace somewhere..
Many blessings to you and yours. 🙏✌️❤️
In your opinion, do you believe that is Edna waving (I haven't watched this documentary yet but am getting ready to)? 7:42 I feel sooo bad for what she must have gone through in her last moments. I am so sorry for you and your wife's loss!
@@jesmond5562obviously him and his wife
@@jesmond5562shh just cos your dad didn't others do care..
This poor woman must have had the most horrific experience imaginable. Surviving the initial carnage to spend the final hour of her life a helpless, close-up observer of human suffering - she would have heard the voices and cries of the dying in the wreckage, seen people jumping, the fireball from the second impact, and the collapse of the south tower all at close proximity. RIP Edna
She was a strong woman, a true survivor. She fought a good fight and was ready for rescue. God had other plans but made sure the world had the chance to recognize His amazing creation - Edna Cintron.
I understand they were much less aware of the facts as we were watching TV. Thank God if true. Maybe.

It's past midnight, 4-30-2024. I find myself up and watching this video. I'm 60 yrs old and I'm at a point in my live where I find myself alone. Children grown, I'm divorced. Wondering where live go. I think of what it must of been like, all of it. The building of a relationship, through all the ups and downs. The people that they both inspired along the way. The love that they both shared. Where do you go after losing your best friend like that? I'm at a loss for words. Wish I could have met you both. You both seem like really good people. My prayers are with you and everyone that went away that day. 🙏
Be strong friend
I understand the loneliness! I’ll be 50 yrs old Sunday! ❤❤❤ Hang in there my dear 💕
Get out of the house and live life while you still can. I'm gonna be 50 in Feb 2025 and I'm also single. You fall into a quiet life and one day you realize you haven't been outside in weeks. I have to do something too. Get busy living, or get busy dying, right?
As a 42 yr old freshly divorced mom of a 15yr old, who is my only child and basically my soulmate (we are very very close), I dread the day he leaves for college because it will likely mark the beginning of aloneness for me, too. Some say “oh, you’ll find someone else, Rachel” but what if I don’t? No one knows. I could easily die alone and no one would miss me, except my son God bless his sweet heart. Luckily, I own a very successful business and was able to purchase a brand new home for us to live in post-divorce, but that seems of little consequence when faced with eternal loneliness.
My heart goes out to you, Troy Walsberg. I hope you find peace.
Amen.
They say "never meet your heros" but I'm so happy and honored to have met mine multiple times: WILLIE RODRIGUEZ! He was a janitor with a skeleton key who bravely re-entered several times after the planes hit to rescue people piling down the locked stairways because all the elevators were broken. He saved dozens before the buildings fell. A True American Hero!! Oh man, this video made me cry uncontrollably.
I've seen a few documentaries featuring him. That man had guts.
Why on earth were they locked? I thought the stairwells were all fire exits?
@@SnowdropWoodthe impact twisted the doors so they won't budge. Normally they're open
@johnjirehgarcia8382 But how would a skeleton key help with that?
In that moment he probably hadn't realised that the doors failure to be opened was due to the impact and just thought 'huh? why are these locked?' @@SnowdropWood
My mom worked in the towers for 18 years. She was there for the 1st bombing. She left about 2 years b4 9/11. She was scared everyday after that 1st attack and always said she thought it was going to happen again. She was right.
It hurts me more i think today than back then. Rip to all who were lost. We will never forget ❤
Well done, sir.
I am so happy your mom left before that tragic day. Also glad she was ok after the 1st bombing. It was just not time for your mom to go.
I remember when this happened ….many people were predicting terrorists would strike again🥺
What floor and tower did your mom work in?
With more videos from people on the ground like while they were collapsing and even before and after… even though we watched everything unfold as it happened… it’s just brings a whole Nother layer of awareness to what these people went through. And that includes survivors.
Your mom was wise to listen to her gut instinct, it saved her life and she is with you....
It’s tough enough knowing what strangers had to go through. But when you put a face to a name and a backstory it hits you even harder. RIP Edna, and everyone else that died that day.
I’m English so had no connection to 9/11.So I’ve adopted Edna Cintron because she’s the only real person that I can relate to.If I ever get to New York there will be a red rose waiting to be placed by her name.RIP.❤️❤️
@@georgethorne1722... That is absolutely the sweetest thing I've heard in a long while. To think so lovingly of someone you've never met is beautiful. To feel empathy for someone who will never stand in front of you is that much more beautiful. 💕
@georgethorne1722 I work in that area, if you would like, I can look for her name
This story touched my heart. I wont forget her.❤
What’s with the weird spooky intentional eerie voice? I mean this is the only footage I have like 100 other channels and I’m sure everyone else has already seen it other than this one of all the horrible things at your place that day I feel like this person is talking to everyone like they’re five years old
Edna Cintron had the best smile I ever saw and every time I see her beautiful face brings tears to my eyes. Sadly, her husband William passed away in 2021...
At least he is with her again 🙏🙏🙏
Crazy 😳…Edna passed away in 2001…William passed away in 2021
@@StevenODay OMG 😳 I JUST GOT CHILLS UP MY SPINE…..That was his flower shop up the block on East 116th street in El Barrio & That was Edna at the flower shop too. The shop is literally up the block from my house, Looking at William & Edna (I said to myself… Wait a minute, they look very familiar). I remember them now…OMG 🤯😢😰😳…I remember going to school & coming home from school (I would see Willie & Edna) in front of the shop & there flowers was fresh cause back in the 90’s when I would pass by Willie shop (You can smell the flowers several feet away from the store) & I remember there was times I would see Edna displaying the flowers outside & around the store & I would look at her & say to myself (She’s a peaceful & humbled & quiet sales lady selling flowers. Everytime I looked at Edna you can feel & see that she was all about herself, her job, William, the flower shop & her family)…I seen William at the shop many times as well (Working hard & keeping the shop clean). I never knew that the whole story about Edna (The waving woman at the World Trade Center) until I seen it here on RUclips, OMG 😳 Growing up in El Barrio & passing by them & Seeing them face to face 😥😰. It’s crazy I found out about this & I didn’t knew until now about William & Edna, I saw the 2nd tower *South Tower* get hit…While the 1st *North Tower* was already up in smoke from the flames. It traumatized me because the times I would see the flying papers in the sky a jumper would fall to his 🫣 from the towers let alone the impact & sound of that united airlines plane hit the south tower. My brother used to work in The World Trade Center (I don’t know if it was the 1st or 2nd tower…I don’t ask to much about it because My brother was supposed to be there at work at around 7:30am…but woke up late til my mother was screaming crying throughout the whole house saying something hit the World Trade Center…Something big is happening downtown). I remember seeing him pale white… Glued to the tv & my mother & myself asking him, are you ok…He looked at both of us & said (That’s where I work at…I was supposed to be in at work this morning, My job is on right above where the smoke is coming from), Me & my mother looked at each other *Because we didn’t knew he was working there cause he just started working there not so long ago…until he told us that morning on 9/11. I’ll never forget now seeing William & Edna at there flower shop…Growing up in the neighborhood & seeing both of them working hard, displaying there beautiful flowers & seeing how peaceful & humble they was everytime I I walked by them. 🙏🏼R.I.P. To William & Edna Cintron, It’s A Small World🙏🏼 & Having the privilege to seeing & walking by you guys in the neighborhood 💐🕯️🙏🏼…back in the day. United Together 🙏🏼🕯️🙏🏼
I was just going to ask if anyone knew how he was doing now and years after this tragedy. 😢 RIP.
Young man, you memorialized Edna Cintron eloquently, and the thousands of others that perished on 9/11/21. A job well done. Thank you. May God Bless you.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
*2001
Respect.
Much respect to you.

Edna Cintron had the most beautiful smile that always brings tears to my eyes. And I am sad that her husband William recently passed, and know they are together once more. Steve O'Day...
DEFINITELY.
As someone who has watched almost every 9/11 documentary and read many stories about the victims, I have always wondered about Edna’s story. Great work. Appreciate all that you do.
This was excellent
Yeah. William deserves to be loved on. I hope he found someone to hug him and get him through. To lose a loved one that close to you so suddenly is the WORST. Bless him.
I just heard about Edna on another video last week and wondered about her.
I mean for a moment think like her!! You survived the initial crash. Then while waiting for your rescue, you hear a loud boom in the background but you are in the opposite side of the building!! You see huge ball of fire, papers flying, debris are falling. But you have no clue that the second building was hit. You wait for an hour to witness another tragedy, you could hear the loud boom and after few moments you see a cloud of dust circling the building.
A lot of things must have going through her mind maybe, did WTC fall? Why did it fall? Was it a deliberate attack? Was it not an accident? She must have thought, that this is the end of the world!! It's so scary!! She must be really brave to hang on to her dear life after everything she saw and experienced that day!! I am saying this because she was last seen in North Tower few moments before the tower fell. Rest well dear Edna!!❤
PS sorry for grammatical mistakes if any!!
@@Caramel1806
thank you for your comment. and dont be sorry for any if at all errors. a misplaced a or e generally doesnt stop ones idea from being understood lol
Once you see her, you can't unsee her. You can feel her want to live.😢💔
Yes! Since watching this, every single time I see that side of the north tower I think of Edna. 😢
And to find out that she was puerto rican like me I shed a tear immediately. She didn't deserve this nobody did😢
Excellently worded
Yes! And you desperately want her to live, even though you know she won't. Rip Edna.
I wonder, in retrospect, how could she have been rescued? Is there any plausible way she could have been rescued? (In a perfect set of circumstances I am wondering).
I hope that Edna is somewhere happily giving flowers and smiles, and that her husband is with her as well - may they rest in peace
Unless they were walking with Christ, they are not resting in peace.

I don't think anyone could even fathom spending their last hour on this earth the way Edna Cintron did, but what is even more incredible was the way she lived her 46 years up to that moment!

You're not going to save a Building set to emplode it's all very 😢 I wish I was in position to do something about it before it happened but it's something we must play catch up with to prevent this from ever happening again anyways if you believe the story that is told explain why they shoot down a balloon yet allow this to happen and you will uncover something no different then Jan 6 in the sense it is an outright lie and the wrong people are blamed for it and the people responsible for it walk free till this day...

@@user-te8sf6qi2bcrane life a firetruck? And do what exactly how are they supposed to control the vehicle in the air? That’s dangerous let alone stupid.
I also wonder if anyone using video editing software frame by frame has been able to see and identity Edna holding onto the 94th floor in the North Tower collapse footage and when her death was initiated when the North Tower started to collapse. (24:26)
You gave such dignity to Edna and her family. There is empathy in the way you celebrated her life and mourned her death. Bless you for bringing Edna’s story to life.
This guy deserves a medal for telling the story about what happened on that tragic day and may the people who lost their lives rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️🕊️
I remember when the photographic books came out showing the carnage of the towers. When I turned a page and saw her standing in the gaping hole seemingly unscathed and waving at the helicopter I was so shocked. That morning I left that page of the book open and placed it in the kitchen where I knew my roommate Susan would see it. We both thought it the most tragic picture to come out of Sept 11th. I had always wondered about her and now you have given me closure. Edna sounded like such an angel during her life and you have given her tribute for her life. I pray she is with Jesus and that I will meet her in Heaven someday.🙏❤
Amen sweetheart Amen 🙏
Y?
Why would you want your Roommate to see it? 🤪

Chingado!
@RaiderSerge I was right across the river, getting ready to head in for the day. I've been interested in what was going on down there for years... I've never heard or seen a book or collection of the actual graphic imagery that DOES exist of that day. But there's no such book. It's very very hard to find the worst images from 9/11. The most graphic images that day are those taken on the plaza, street and nearby parking garages of remains of plane passengers. You should think of this as if a giant took a handful of 100 humans and threw them through a fan..... they weren't "vaporized" in the explosion. We were spared the horror by the collapse of the towers and all the chaos after the plane impacts.
@@Baseballnfjwhere did you see pictures of that day on the plaza ?
I think edna thought they will help her with the helicopter 😢
It's so extraordinary that she was so close to the impact point yet she survived the initial crash it honestly must have been horrifying.
It looks like the structure around her was pulled in and created a cocoon. Unfortunately that probably blocked off any exits and the only exit was the edge.
people on the plane had it even worst
@@thomasbrunn4182 oh yea that’s probably the worst feeling is knowing you will most certainly die in a few minutes and time is just ticking.
@@thomasbrunn4182 This is not a competition, and frankly to me her situation sounds like hell as well.
If you look at the footage of her, you can see there are more people alive. There is a guy above her to the right as well.
Edna could be any of us. Loves her family, works hard, just going through her day to provide for the people she loved. It is heartbreaking.
It's so, so sad. Edna and William seemed so loving together. When he talked about Edna having William's food ready each evening so he could eat right away, it reminded me that I do the same for my husband. All the stories from 9/11 were all of our stories. People walked out in the morning leaving all their things, but never walked back in...
Melissa Doi was a successful young, college educated woman who worked for one of the brokerage firms. Her mother had sacrificed to see that Melissa succeeded. She had a lovely apartment and was unmarried. Her mother's only child, she and her divorced mama lived together. Melissa's published 911 call is heartbreaking. Her loss must have shattered her mother.
We are al sinners though
That's the part I struggle with.
@@Kapojoswe may all be sinners, but the world is hell so what does it matter?
Very well done. I believe the people who died that day deserve for their stories to be known and remembered. In this way we honor them. There were no suicides that day, according to the medical examiner. They are officially listed as homicide victims.😢❤

I agree he does awesome work on this project, 👏
As someone thats afraid of heights and I remember that day vividly, I can't imagine Edna standing there at the edge of the building desperately waving for help!? How horrific to see her holding on to debris waiting for help that would never arrive. What she saw looking out over the city and what she heard!? Truly terrifying. RIP Edna❤
unimaginable horror 😭
I feel exactly the same, it was just horrific. In the UK we were struck dumb with shock. RIP all of those who lost their lives and to those left behind to carry on without them 😢
It almost seems like she wasnt injured or anything by the way she was waving her arm, her clothes didnt seem dirty or torn. Almost like as if she was fine, and saying bye to everyone, seems real eerie to me.
Breaks my heart

It doesn't sync to me that time since I was only at my early elementary days. But just this year I had a binge of documentaries, things that they didn't showed in the media it's heart breaking.
22 years later and this was the first time ive heard Edna's story. A atory of love and courage, and grace to the last moment, Edna was clearly a wonderful woman. This memorial was so very well done.

I lost my cousin Jenine Nicole Gonzalez on 9/11. She worked for AON on the 105th floor. This loss will forever be etched in not only my family’s memories but all of America. It was probably one of the most horrific events in history. May we keep all these beautiful souls memorialized. Blessings to all our service men and women who were there that day and for those who succumbed to their injuries. For all the civilians that perished, they too were heroes. May their souls rest in eternal peace.
Thank you for honoring the victims in all of your stories. May we never forget that they were loved by their families. God bless!
My mom lost a college friend who was a flight attendant on the plane that crashed in a field in PA.
They were alerted to what was going on elsewhere in the country. Made a decision to stop it.
They FOUGHT for control of their aircraft, but the hijackers were already in the cockpit.
They lost their lives but saved another target, possibly the White House.
These were HEROES.

It’s easy to forget exactly how horrific this was. I remember my fourth grade teacher crying and saying things would never be the same. I forget that I once existed in a simpler time. It was brief but I existed. I just rollerbladed around all summer before this happened listening to my Aaliyah cassette in my dad’s portable player. The player was yellow and my second hand rollerblades were fuchsia. No helmet just getting scraped up and drinking from the hose. After 9/11 I swear everyone thought about death more. Parents were watching closer after it. Maybe that was my experience because I’m from a port city on the east coast and everyone feared those would be the targeted areas at the time.
Sorry for your loss 😢😢😢
It’s fascinating that you would put out this video today. Just Yesterday I met a 911 survivor who was buried under the debris for hours, she had broke her back in the carnage and had many surgeries because of it. She expressed to me that she has terrible PTSD and survivors guilt also she still wakes up in cold sweats every night. RIP to Edna and all the Lives lost and may those who survived find peace
Thought they only found a hand full of people after the Collapse of the buildings & they were all males...
There was a woman who was buried for 27 hours and rescued. I can't remember her name. Google that. Also the firefighters rescued on stairwell b had a woman with them when rescued.
Was it Genelle Guzman-McMillan? She was working on the 64th fl on the day of the terror attacks. I believe she was trapped for 27 hours.
Also the OP didn’t say the survivor was from the twin towers she may have been from the pentagon
@@CarlosGambino_22 ya coulda just left it alone you know 🙄
I never heard of her until today. Damn this is heartbreaking. The way shes waving, she seems calm and assured she didn't seem anxious. May God rest her soul.
It’s so sad how she probably thought she could get help but also that she could die. The funeral her husband did for her, made me cry. These poor innocent people didn’t deserve this. May Edna rest in peace.
I can't imagine the fear and helplessness she felt. Rest in peace to Edna and all the victims of 9/11
No rest in peace,because no justice.Saudi funded it.
@@trishaprett7721Her comment nor the video were political at ALL! These ppl, their stories, & their lives have already been used WAY too much & too hard as political fodder & in a million diff conspiracy theories. Let them Rest In Peace! ✌️ & Take the political ideas & all that passion for politics & put it out where ppl that will appreciate & reciprocate your passionate political debates! Thanks! ✌️💖💕
@@trishaprett7721go fight saudia on your own no one has the energy
I don't think the fear was as much as is often quoted. We all know what happened today, but no one there on the ground, on the airplanes or in the towers knew what was about to happen. I don't think Edna thought the towers were about to collapse, and possibly might not have been aware the 2nd tower hit, had collapsed. Yeah, she might have seen all the debris and so on flying around, but would she have equated that to what we know happened? Maybe wasn't even aware the 2nd tower had been hit in the same way. Maybe wan't even aware the first tower hade been hit by an airplane. And probably expected to be rescued.
@@trishaprett7721 poor taste
Poor Edna, this story made cry seeing her standing there helplessly. RIP, Edna.
yes, especially since we know the worst was yet to come, with the collapse of both towers. 😢😢😢
This was a beautiful tribute of 9/11 and the lives lost . I lost family in the North Tower . I remember that day vividly and having to walk the Brooklyn bridge to get home because the world stopped that day. Your work is amazing !
I’m so very sorry for your incredibly sad loss. Can’t even imagine honestly. But, I’m very thankful you were able to get out of such a horrific situation safely and are still with us today. 💜
i am SO very sorry for your loss…
People are saying that they’re sorry for your loss
@@LLace I had family members that were in the North Tower that died …one brother and cousin
I'm so very sorry for the loss of your loved ones on that dark day. May God give you the healing you need.
Imagine being Edna and just looking down hopelessly while people are pointing a camera at you. Rip to all the souls that perished
trust me,...she could not see the cameras,....people are just specks from that height,...she saw crowds, but no detail,...i m sure of it, either way,...horrible.
Plus just because she was being filmed did she think "oh God I'm just going to be a meme on the internet.." because the internet was in an infancy stage, speaking this is even before RUclips. Memes didn't exist. People only used the internet back then very seldomly. It wasn't at all what it is today. Atleast she is remembered and that is what immortalizes us. Her story, she is remember for who she was. A person who fought the hardest day anyone could imagine. And you can't begin to imagine what it must have been like to live an hour and fourty two minutes like that. To watch the South tower collapse next to you for what felt like in reaching distance.
@@larrytate5605 Yeay I feel ya but bruh she was hanging on that pillar for almost an hour. I believe she could sense everything around her. Your senses and adrenaline had to be superhuman
@chrishandsome6542 lol wait what? Lol you must be less than 20 years old. I was 17 when this happened and I was on the internet all the time. This was even after AOL dial up. This was just before MySpace got big. I use the internet all day at school and after school. I also did online school at night to graduate early. My mom and dad's entire business was on the internet. Lol I think you may be referring to social media. That wasn't a thing in 2001. It was a big thing in 2003 when it spiked. Then MySpace in 2004. Also, both of those buildings ran on the internet. The world was all about the internet. "WWW". WORLD WIDE WEB! lol the internet peeked in 1996. So there was definitely internet. Lol
Im suprised people even had the strength and awareness to get to that opening and even look out it. 😮 in smaller office people looked like they had to fight for air she had the wind and that open pocket with good air at least
Edna was so strong and brave to be able to hold on for the entire event. At times you could see her struggling to stand, probably due to the injuries she would have had, combined with exhaustion. And imagine how scary and sickening it would feel to be standing that high in the air, any wrong movement could potentially send you to your death, and you can see helicopters that aren't able to save you no matter how much you scream. Even if Edna somehow found a way to get out of that area of the building, there wouldn't have been a stairwell or anything so this poor woman was basically doomed from the start. She died shortly before her 47th birthday as well.
One month shy of 23 years since that fateful day, stories still find a way to tear my heart out.
This is a beautiful tribute to Edna’s fight for life. As you said, she is not a statistic. She had people that loved her dearly, people that still miss her to this day. We can’t ever forget them.
RIP Edna, and God Bless you William, for working so tirelessly to bring her home. My heart goes out to you and all those that cared for your Edna.
I broke down when the video showed the last photograph taken of Edna moments before the north tower collapse. To be in her point of view, thousands of feet above the air and experiencing the impact of the south tower fireball and collapse. Just to bear through that all...alone and then the north tower finally coming down.
My condolences to William, her family and loved ones. May beloved Edna and those who lost their lives that day may never be forgotten..may we honor them in our own lives
I just thought I would let you know, she wasn’t along. It is still just as horrifying, but if you look to the left of Edna in all the footage there is a woman sitting there with her chin on her hands, just weirdly looking calm and relaxed as if she if looking out the window. She has Auburn Hair and looks like it’s tied up in a bun. Once you spot her you can’t miss her.
I was crushed when I saw it
@@Samshomecookeddesign I have wondered about the possible woman next to her, looks like to me that she's probably dead or severely injured and why she's laying like that.
The part that really got me was when he showed the three people jump out the window. Goddamn
@@teijaflink2226Yeah I wondered about that too
my mother was a first responder at the 1993 bombing. they called her to rescue people on 9/11, but my twin and i were only one and visiting my dads family in england. she experiences a lot of survivors guilt, because if we were in the states, she would've gone to the wtc immediately. shes lost a lot of friends over the years from 9/11 related cancers, as well as losing friends during the attacks.
Your mother sounds like a very courageous woman. I hope her heart can find peace.
I'm proud of your mother. Please tell her.
@@onionbubs386she is, but she only started this year. it's been rough for all of us, but especially for her.
@@alyssaleatham8544i will. she doesn't really grasp the fact that she had a large role in history.
As a native New Yorker, this literally made me cry. My titi was in BOTH attacks, the second attack, she was on the lower levels. Went home thankfully over the bridge with one shoe, covered in cuts, debris, and ash. A woman helped her and gave her a shoe to continue walking and they walked together, thankfully alive, and mostly unharmed, my uncle and cousin out in the city not too far from it all, my mom, dad and aunt… it pains me to know so many lost their lives and lost their loved ones without any real closure. To be that kid again, at home watching the smoke from brooklyn and the ashes falling from the sky, confused about what it was… to only go home and cry in fear if my mom was coming back.
This story is so sad…. It will never, not hit hard.
Rest in peace Edna… I’m sure to this day William still misses you.
She had a very very powerful angel protecting her xxcxxx
@@kimaglioti7775Oh please. So all those who died, they just didnt have any "angels"? 😡
@@suchabadkitty1293 Oh for heavens sake Nuts 'Kitty'. I have always said that when people have a really really close shave with death. You need help girl. Pop something and get over yourself. What a cruel stupid thing to say or even think. Get a life. 9/11 was one of the most horrific things ever to happen in America. I would never make light of something so terrible. You clearly NEED an angel to help you with your ugliness. Hell man. Pass..... Go read a good book or even better, pray maybe. May 'help' you. Sad ........
@suchabadkitty1293 Excuse me? Show some respect you heathen.
MY GOD!!! MY GOD!!! This is EXTREMELY heartbreaking! God Bless everyone!
As a native New Yorker, I still cannot go to the 9/11 Memorial. It’s just too painful. I lost coworkers, friends, high school classmates…
I tried once to go to the Apple Store in the Occulus, the subterranean shopping mall built at the WTC site. I had the only panic attack I’ve ever experienced in my life.
RIP, Edna…and all those who perished as a direct, and indirect, result of this horrific act.
I finally went a few years back. Sobbed the entire time.
I haven’t been to nyc in person since 1999
@@PraveenSrJ01 If you go, please visit the Memorial. Every single one of the people who lost their lives deserves to be remembered. ♥️
Bless you.....❤🙏🇺🇸
I would like to talk to you, if you don’t mind, I have some really boring questions about the weeks and months following 9/11 for New York. After 9/11 people were evacuated, when did people start coming back to the city?
Also, and idk how to ask this… but what happened if you were to have some kind of accident and need 911? How did your city repair its emergency response system after such a devastating loss?
I am only 27 so I was 5 when this happened and I am doing research and these are questions I’m finding the hardest to answer, I can’t find anything on the internet about it. I have more questions but I’ll leave it at that.
A masterpiece. Especially to us New Yorkers and everyone else in the tri-state.
🗽"212"🖤✌🏾
Facts.
Facts. I’m in BPT, CT and this day traumatized me as a 10 year old, my teacher at the time told us stories of him helping clean the area and pulling heads. Just insane what happened this day.
As a 10 year old in queens, my puerto rivan family became more recluse. Am an inteivert, i carried my fathers quite anger with me. We never traveled much. The skyline changed us
RIP to all that was lost on this horrible day.
Everyone one in the tower, the rescue workers, the people of NY were all so brave. Edna was so strong, tried so hard to get help, to stand on the edge like that surrounded by smoke, heat, destruction, death...up so high, I don't know how she could do it. 9/11 always makes me cry even now so many years later. I have no idea what I would have done if placed in a similar situation. I don't even think I would have the courage to jump alone. All I know is I think if faced with that scenario I would have never been as strong and courageous as those people. Bless all of them. Breaks my heart. You all will never be forgotten. I am so deeply sorry.
You never know how strong you are until you are faced with a decision like that....

“This only hit a lot of us when we got older”
I was 19 and remember where I was..
but this comment you made really resonated with me…it’s so true. Between shock and the maturity that comes with age-where we finally are able to grasp what went on, through the eyes of “adults”, or at least older folks who’ve been thru it, seen some stuff, and can truly understand the gravity.
Same here... As someone who's from England and lived through 7/7 bombings in London I have to admit that when 9/11 happened I was only 11 years old and started high school... I knew that this tragic event happened but never really hit me until I was older and wiser! When I compare it to 7/7 when I remember the day vividly compared to 9/11 it's weird.
I was 19 when it happened too. My sister lived blocks away and saw ppl jump 😔
@@vanblessa I’m so so sorry…
I was 17 and it was shocking, but they didn't show many details on TV, and later other terr attacks took place in my country. And only now I'm grasping everything..
I was 19 as well, living Los Angeles.. watching it on the news completely blown away. I couldn't believe something like that was actually happening.. I thought Los Angeles was next for sure. Now when I watch documentaries about it I always tear up. It was an extremely horrible situation 😔😢
It seemed she always had hope, always kept trying, thinking help would be there soon, then it was over quickly. She was so brave, just focused on showing she was there waiting for help. She didn’t appear to even cry. Such a special lady, I am so sorry people existed in the world that made this happen.
I think her angels came to take her home right when the building went down. Not many people have a closeness with angels that they clearly see around them. She was telling William she was alive and then her angels knew it was time to leave. She held on for William. Pure love! ❤❤
🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️💔
There are no angels. Just like there's no God. Or gods.
@@brucemacmillan9581keep letting Satan decieve you
@brucemacmillan9581 that's your belief. You should be respectful of other's beliefs
@@brucemacmillan9581You're allowed your opinion. But just recognize that there's no proof that you're right & everyone else is wrong! Just as they don't have scientific proof either. However let's be respectful of everyone's beliefs instead of being 1 of those ppl who believe ONLY their opinion is the RIGHT opinion for EVERYTHING! Those ppl who believe they are always right are insufferable & literally torture trying to deal with! But they DO believe in God & you have no clue who they are, so WHY on earth would it really bother you SO MUCH so that you felt the need to reach out & 💩 on their beliefs? Just move along & spread your bitterness somewhere else. ✌️
my wife passed away young, not in 911 but in an accident a few years ago. I think you have this beautiful way of phrasing things and as I listened to you narrate and meditate about Edna and her family's bereavement, I really felt a feeling of healing and understanding of my complicated emotions.
I was in 7th grade on that morning, and the horror of watching it on TV is seared into my brain forever.
I was in 8th grade and I remember that day pretty vividly. Going back to our homerooms and being told about what happened. Then dismissed. Walked home from school and my mom was already there dismissed from work. We watched the towers collapse. The second plane hitting and buildings collapsing may of been a replay because I don’t know how long it took before we were dismissed from school but I only lived about 5 mins from school. It was all horrible.
RIP Edna, you were braver than I could ever hope to be, rip to all the victims of this tragedy
Thank you for sharing Edna's story. I hadn't heard about her tragic ending. May she and every other soul that lost their life rest in peace 😢.
Thank you to the narrator, you have the perfect voice to describe this tragedy.❤
Those poor people! They never saw it coming! 😢 I've been watching these videos all week! Great job covering this tragedy! RIP to the victims!😔
I have too love…I can’t tear myself away…
Found a channel "EnhancedWTCvideos" where they have cleaned up hundreds of hours of footage.

The speaker here....such respectful tone...is delivering this testimony of Edna most wonderfully...full of care.. thank you..May those she loved and who loved her have found peace and rest. God bless you all.
What a woman Edna was. Fly high sweetheart.
I saw the live news broadcast of 9/11/2001. All these years later in 2024, these videos and stories, still give me chills and heart palpitations.
You have to wonder if surviving the initial blow was luck or awful. To know you survived, but then have no way out. I couldn’t imagine the horror. RIP Edna. I’ve always thought about her. The waving woman.
Wow I never knew this was that woman. I cannot even imagine what Edna had experienced.
Definitely would have been better to be sitting in the building and then boom... gone. The scary thing is we only think of the jumpers and those who were crushed, but a lot of people were burned alive. They didn't even have the chance to jump...
Well said.
@@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536 if you find the right video of one of the towers coming down you can hear a loud group of screams right as it begins to crumble. All those people trapped inside scream all at once. It’s a sound I’ll never forget and I stumbled upon that particular video. It’s terrifying
the waving woman… made me cry 😢😭
Edna RIP baby you never gave up hope you didn't quit girl 😥😥
I wish we had something like this for all of the victims because they were way more than just victims. These were people with lives, friends, and family. All with their own unique story. RIP to both Mr. and Ms. Cintron.
WARNING: 22 June 2024. What a tribute. What an unselfish tribute. This said it all. No one will ever forget .
Extremely well done video. You’re a gifted storyteller and you honored Edna, her husband and all who were lost that horrible, horrible day.
Word. That's what I thought too. Very well done. Too bad what it captured, but great job nonetheless.
Thank you for covering this and telling Edna Cintron's story. Too few journalists/RUclipsrs even mention her. The footage of her breaks my heart. I am a lifelong NYer and was 16yrs old sitting in chemistry class when the planes hit. Now that I'm 37, it kind of scares me to think there's a whole new generation of people who have no idea what it was like to experience 9/11 and I hope that doesn't mean that society will become apathetic to this truly apocalyptic tragedy. It felt like the world was coming to an end.
It really did feel like the end of the world. I was 16 too, at the time, sitting in American history class- ironically. We all walked around in a daze that day worried about if there would be other terrorists attacks and if we could be the next victims.
Every generation has different events that affect them the same this did us, we don’t understand the pain other had with the draft, and losing people in the war
Completely agree that it is wild to me that the severity of this day and what it literally was (tangibly and intangibly) to be an American that day (and blessed by chance to be one not affected by death or direct pain).
I mean..... it was truly the only time I really felt the depth of what it meant to have "fellow Americans" and to be in unity with them.
It was as if there was NOTHING to say but this topic, all day- every day and everyone was OK with it. We were all together in grief and disbelief. So many beautiful babies and precious children lost and the loss of adult human life is much greater in number but not in pain.
I hope to fucking god the many truths and messages of this day ring in the hearts of us forever.
And also need to mention how deeply moving and comforting to know that the bulk of global society stood in support of unity in spirit and in deed. Many people the world over made this the best outcome it could be as far as their love and help go. 💞
I’d heard this story before, and Edna’s story significantly impacted me emotionally in a way that most other 9/11 stories didn’t. Not that they weren’t sad or that anyone is better than anyone, but there was just this inexplicable connection that I felt. Then, you said her birthday and her and I share a birthday. I think from now on I’m going to add an extra candle on any cake I get and light a candle for Edna, too. Rest in Paradise, Edna and William.
That’s a beautiful tribute 😢❤
😢✌️
Man this comment made me cry. What a thoughtful tribute to Edna
This needs to be a reminder in today's world 2024.
For one reason, it was horrible but the outcome showed us how to love one another, THE FIRST AND GREATEST COMMANDMENT.
Edna Cintron definitely deserved the world, thanks to the warmth and unconditional love that she was renowned for. She will be missed. William will be missed too, and I will always pray for solidarity, peace, love, and compassion for her family, William's family, and all of their friends.
They're 2gether forever in Paradise 🕊
This is the first I've seen about her. Thank you for informing so many of us. I'm currently the age she was on that dreadful day. I didn't know anyone personally who was tragically lost in that attack but I do mourn their loss as if i had known them. It's so hard to explain but if you were an adult when this happened, you know what I'm trying to say. Her story is heartbreaking.
I’m sobbing. My heart aches for Edna and her husband. It aches for all of them that day. This was a beautiful tribute. Good job ❤😢
Same here, these images always bring back that pain of watching our people dying. I always wondered what happened to the young black girl (could have been a teenager) that was sobbing while watching them jump and screaming “they’re jumping!”. She never left my thoughts, I always wondered how she turned out.
I agree such a highly respectful tribute to her life. And handled it with great dignity. She sounded like such a good hearted person. RIP Edna. She reminds me of my Tia Anita who passed on the same year but for different reasons.
I cried also, Edna just standing in that crater just broke my heart into a thousand pieces.
Something in me died that day. I loved working in the South Tower and dinner at Windows on the World. I still miss that New York and the Towers.
Difficult subject handled with sensitivity, yet no punches pulled. A skilled documentarian!
My son is learning about this in more details at school. He said mom don't watch it if it makes you cry! Son is reliving it and feeling everyone's pain. The world stopped I told him we held people we never knew and our hwart broke for the people we knew were not going to come home that day. We watched your video together and watching her wave got him. I think he finally felt the pain as the world did that day. Rest easy and your not forgotten!!!! Thank you for sharing
This was so amazing to watch. I don’t care how long it’s been, the videos and images instantly take you back to that day and you feel the same sorrow you felt that day.😔
Every time I watch videos like this My body takes over and the PTSD kicks in It's 2024 but I am affected the same as the day it happened.
Edna and William had the kind of love some people spend their entire lives searching for. I can't imagine the kind of grief he had to endure; I couldn't imagine going on with my life if my husband passed away, especially in such a tragic manner. Thank you for sharing their story and keeping her memory alive.
Edna died having that love in her heart, knowing she had a better life having shared it and shared love with William. As painful as it is for William being left behind while Edna moved on, he still has that love for the rest of his own life as well. God bless them both.

Thankyou for bringing Edna's story to me. Every time l see that plane go into the side of that building, my hairs stand on end. lt is an unbelievable act of cowardice and evil.

Did anyone attempt to climb down with their arms and legs outstretched between the columns?
This was the best written and edited video I think I've ever seen on the Twin Towers. Adding Edna's story while including the video segments, kept it from becoming just another video of destruction. You put a human name and face to the tragedy, and a love story too, and I kept hoping (even though I knew it wasn't possible) that her husband somehow found her, dazed, confused, covered in dust out on the street. This was excellent, and so well written. Kudos to you man.
Thank you for sharing Edna’s story. I am compelled to discover every single story of the people who were murdered on 9/11. I will never forget that day. Never.
also dont forget to discover every story of civilian people who were murdered in Palestine last months.

@@warrax111 look dude, that’s a nice shock comment to write on RUclips, but I have no personal connection to those deaths.

there were much more people murdered, than in this building.
@@warrax111 and I have ZERO control over any of it. We are from Finland living in America. Finland is a peaceful country and we are peaceful people, and yet we were affected by this senseless act of murder anyway. Furthermore, I don’t condone ANY war, even war to take revenge. 9/11 was revenge and then war Bush commanded was revenge right back. No one is right in war. No one. If we don’t stop taking revenge on each other, what will be left? Lastly, it IS murder regardless of how you or I feel about it. You can’t justify 9/11 or ANY war as it is always MURDER.

I remember small parts of that day..
I was in a daycare in Coney Island, I was 5 years old. All the parents were picking up their kids early.
Later on i found out my father had an interview in a surrounding building near the WTC.. for some reason the alarm didn't go off and he missed it.
God bless all the people who passed away this day.
And to everyone who gave a helping hand.
I ❤ NY, Queens girl forever
Son ya was 5. Ya don’t remember that shit. I was 10 I remember that day !
My aunt was a responding police officer. Ended up being trapped under the wreckage for days. Her faith is even stronger after this experience. I remain in awe of her. I can't even imagine. May all who perished rest in peace.
My man, you did a phenomenal job on this. 👏
You said "it hits us harder as we get older" and thats the damn truth. I was 14 and although i thought it hurt me then, it's a whole different feeling now that im older and understand more.
Yes I think 🤔 about it now and the guy I wrote about in the comment, I felt so bad for him, he was my boy, dudes thought he was crazy, but far from it like I said
Agree I was so young where 911 happened. Now that I realize how deep this tragedy was it bothers me more as years go by. So many innocent lives should’ve been here with us today.
@@JA-il6hi right. Like I was briefly excited cus we got out early and I could go shopping. My mom was buggin out the whole time. When I got home and watched TV I realized how messed up it was that I let my mom panic and how selfish and careless I was being.
That next day though, man I never saw our country so united. I remember American flags were sold out everywhere.
So true. Every year it hits different. For a long while I thought it had been enough time and distance to heal, but then some years it hits hard again. You experience it differently with time and maturity and life experience.
Very well done. Thank you for Edna’s story, and thank you for acknowledging those forced to jump. For reasons I don’t understand they’re ignored a lot.
Everyone remembers the people who fell or jumped. That was the most horrific part of that day for a lot of people.
Yeah,,,,alot of people went ignored,,,what about those souls on the hijacked planes,,,they knew their lives were about to end,,,,how tragically sad,,,,
They have been ignored because many can't accept the thought of choosing to jump out of an almost 1/4 mile high building. It's a horrible thought. In fact, at one point some officials said no one jumped; they fell. As if that makes a difference. May they and those who died later from injuries or illnesses from 9/11 all Rest In Peace.
@@hildeschmid8400I remember reading about the man who jumped in the white shirt. There was a possibility that he was identified but the family of that man was furious that anyone would suggest he would jump. They said it was cowardly and their father wasn't a coward. Maybe the man in the photo was him, maybe it wasn't. I don't know if anyone ever found out for sure. Some people do have a strong reaction to being told their loved one jumped even though their only choices were to jump or die from smoke inhalation, burn to death, or be crushed in a collapse. It's hard to say what I would do in that situation but I understand choosing to jump.
Nobody is ignoring anybody who suffered or died that horrific day. There were those on the planes that crashed into the towers, but also those who struggled to regain control of the plane that crashed nose straight down into the field in PA, those on the plane that hit the Pentagon, all those inside the towers, in the Pentagon, and all the rescuers. Those that jumped had zero choice. I think if fire was approaching and the heat increasing with no means of escape, I think nobody could withstand the pain of the searing heat. I think there was no choice in the matter to be made. People that are found dead inside a burnt building, did not decide to suffer through it and succumb to the burning heat. If found inside a burnt building, it was only because they were overcome by smoke inhalation and heat first trying to escape.
Rest in Peace Dear Edna. Lord rest her soul and give comfort to her husband. This was very well done and done in such a respectful way to honour her life and final moments.
Thank you for telling Edna’s life story up until her horrific death. You covered her story in such a respectful way. You described who she was during life, & didn’t just focus on the end of it. I wish more content creators were like you. God bless all involved in any way in this unspeakable tragedy. May they be at peace.
To think, this lovely spirited woman held on for roughly 2 hours before the north tower went down. Bless her heart and RIP angel.
Well done, RIP Edna and William. RIP to all the people and my FDNY brothers that lost their lives and were murdered by Muslim extremists. May they never be forgotten.
Those muslim extremists are the US friends, so they have intel about the attack and they still did nothing to prevent or minimalise the consequences.
They will not be forgotten as long as I have breath.
They weren’t murdered by Muslim Extremists tho were they?You know what really happened,don’t play dumb.
William passed away?
This is so sad, makes you think about life, RIP Edna, and all who passed away on this terribly sad day, can't believe it was over 20 yrs ago, lots of love and peace, Craig from England
Lower Manhattan was COVERED in missing posters. I remember walking in a daze for days after alongside the families of those very ppl in the posters - they too were just lost looking for their lost loved ones. 💔
Same.. everyday I passed those faces. I never recovered
I wasn’t there but I’ve seen videos of those missing persons posters. You could feel the dispute through the screen. And then the fact that it took almost a year for all of the debris to get cleaned up. I couldn’t imagine how depressing that was.
