On September 11, 2001, the world watched in horror as the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center collapsed, killing nearly 3,000 people. In the aftermath of the attacks, many survivors struggled to cope with the physical and emotional trauma they had endured. But for some, the experience also led to a profound transformation.

In the book 11 Survivor Speaks Out About That Unthinkable Day, 11 survivors share their stories of loss, hope, and healing. They talk about the challenges they faced in the aftermath of the attacks, and how they found the strength to rebuild their lives.

The power of hope. Even in the darkest of times, the survivors never gave up hope. They clung to the belief that they would eventually rebuild their lives.
