This Freaks out out.
That woman is waving her hands (If you zoom in you can see).
Her name is Edna Cintron, a woman of a modest background working in NYC. She’d grown up in a poor family in Puerto Rico.The last image of Edna Cintron. On the 97th floor. This picture etched sadness and terror for me in my heart.Couldn't imagine being in her position. She's gasping for air, and in a video showing this, others jumped from the building at the same time. Just horrifying.
It’s haunting because you know she is trapped and that she will soon die when the tower collapses.
Her name is Edna Cintron, a woman of a modest background working in NYC. She’d grown up in a poor family in Puerto Rico.
After the 9/11 incident, a photograph emerged showing the area where the plane struck the North Tower. An image of a woman is visible near the bottom edge on about the 97th floor. She stands at the edge, one arm grasping a wrecked window frame, while she waves the other hand, possibly asking for help. Even though in the image she appears almost serene, nonetheless she must have been shocked.
Her image has led to a controversy that maybe the towers were intentionally blown up. This is because since she could stand at the area of impact, the heat couldn’t have been sufficiently intense to melt the steel inside the building. Keeping aside the controversy, the picture conveys the utter despair of those trapped inside. There is no definite identification of the woman standing on the edge, but some claim that she was Edna Cintron, 46, an employee with the insurance brokers.
And like everyone else that died she was innocent and undeserving of the attack.
The whole thing was just terrible. But there are a lot of photos like that from 9/11, that get burned into your memory. 9/11 was the most devastating thing that happened in the US history. There are not just photos of people jumping to their death, but tons of stories of those bodies hitting the ground around the building.
