00:01My name is Nina Pineda.
00:03I'm a reporter at WABC-TV in New York,
00:05and I was a reporter covering Ground Zero on 9-11.
00:11We had never gone back and just kind of looked at that day.
00:14We were just off and running for years.
00:18I reported on the 8-year anniversary
00:20and the 10-year anniversary.
00:21I couldn't even turn around and look at Ground Zero.
00:26It wasn't until year 15 that we felt like we could breathe.
00:33My name is Regina Wilson.
00:34I'm a New York City firefighter.
00:37And on 9-11, I was working at Engine Company 219
00:41in Brooklyn, New York.
00:44I think 9-11 has shaken me so much
00:49to know that the unknown could alter my life so dramatically.
00:54It's unpredictable.
00:58My name is Judith Castro.
01:01I was a NYPD officer on the scene on 9-11.
01:07As the time gets closer to 9-11,
01:11we recall it like it was yesterday.
01:15Over the past 20 years,
01:17these women have rebuilt their lives in a most remarkable
01:21and inspirational way.
01:25One of these extraordinary stories
01:28is that of Janelle Guzman McMillan,
01:31the very last survivor pulled from the rubble
01:34of the World Trade Center.
01:35I had the opportunity to sit down with Janelle
01:39to hear her story firsthand.
01:41Oh, hi.
01:42Bless you.
01:43And you are blessed.
01:45Oh, you're beautiful.
01:48Wow.
01:49It's hard to believe it's been 20 years.
01:5320 years.
01:54Wow.
01:55It's unbelievable.
01:56I'm still here.
01:5731-year-old Janelle had taken a job
02:00with the Port Authority,
02:02located on the 64th floor of the North Tower.
02:05As the North Tower collapsed,
02:08Janelle was still inside,
02:10buried under tons of concrete and rubble.
02:14It was dead silence,
02:17and I just lay there.
02:19And I was awake,
02:23but I knew it was pinned under there,
02:25and I knew that I'm just going to see myself
02:28slowly dying under here.
02:31It's going to take forever to dig all that rubble
02:35just to find me.
02:36And I was just praying and asking God to show me a sign
02:40or show me a miracle.
02:42What did you say to God?
02:45Please give me a second chance.
02:47If you pulled me out from this rubble,
02:50I promised I would do your will
02:52and I would change my life.
