WTC burns victim released from hospital 

I was in pain when I burnt my skin with a heat bag .Cant imagine the pain of burning 77% of the body .The pain she must of felt would be unbearable .Poor woman and all the people who got injured that day

I hope she’s doing well now, she’s a survivor, she fought hard, bless her love

Michael Wright, is a family friend, that worked in the North tower. I’m shocked, & inclined to believe. That he might’ve crossed paths, with this brave women, as she was rushed down😳. He survived the collapse of the South tower, & narrowly survived the North. From what I know, Michael spoke of his ordeal, only once. This specific moment, resonated with me though. Michael was blessed enough to have been right below the jeopardized floors. He sustained injuries, from the blast. But was thankfully Mobile, & had access to the stairs. On his way there, he & another coworker helped a women who was stuck in one of the bathrooms. When they reached the stairs, several other people were hurriedly going down the stairs, trying to leave the building. At that point, he still had no clue what had happened. Everyone was speculating “ Explosions or fire”. After a few minutes, Michael started hearing shouts from above him. Someone was rapidly rushing down the stairs. As they made their way past everyone. They shouted, “Out of the way, move out of the way”. Michael, & all of the others that were in the way. Pressed up against the wall, as the group of people rushed past him. He saw two men holding a woman, & another two, holding a man. He said the women, “had terrible burns on her face & arms”. She looked to be partially unconscious, because she was groaning, but was limp. The other burn victim, “Had his back completely exposed & horribly burned”. The back of his shirt, had melted onto his skin. So it was hard for the men, that were helping him, to get a good grip on him. He also encountered firefighters heading up the stairs, as he was running down. Several people asked what was going on. But all they got were “ we are not sure”, or “ keep exiting down, don’t stop”. He said he recalls the faces of those brave men, every moment. I’m not sure, if these 2 survivors, were the ones that he crossed paths, as they were all fighting to survive. But a lot of things coincide. Michael underwent several surgeries. He had several shards of fiber glass, embedded in his skin & eyes. He’s had breathing issues since then. He survived the towers. But like hundreds of other survivors. He was forever, mentally & physically scarred. Understandably, Michel was never the same, after that day. THE FOLLOWING CONTAINS GRAPHIC CONTENT. PLEASE DO NOT READ IF IT IS TOO MUCH. Michael said the images that haunts him the most, are of the bodies of “The jumpers”. When he made it to the bottom, they headed towards the main exits, but stopped immediately. He saw the windows were splattered with what he perceived as blood. As he looked closer. He saw the human remains that were dispersed on the yard. He put 2+2 together, & decide against going out that way, for fear of getting hit by a falling body. He & a few people headed down the stairs, onto the Mall below. Hoping to exist through a safer area, away from the towers. But at that moment, the S tower collapsed. He crouched down, & waited for death. Surprised that he was alive. He noticed he was buried under dust & fallen objects. He couldn’t see & it was hard to breath. It was a pitch black place. But he felt his way through, hoping to find an exit. Luckily, he made out a small light. So he made his way towards it. It turned out to be a firefighter, using his flashlight to guide other survivors out of that room. He never saw his coworker & the lady he helped, ever again. This is his story, I hope I did it justice. I pray for the victims of 9/11. May they rest in eternal peace.

You’re so beautiful and brave elaine! What a story ❤️

Poor lady, I hope she's doing good, wish her the absolute best. So happy she made it out alive!

I’ve just been reading about this lady in the book, ‘Fall and Rise’. She was a civilian office worker who was caught in a fire ball blast and happily survived. Very brave lady by all accounts. 🌼

Amazing woman, amazing story, im glad you survived

After this happened, I remember thinking about the burn victims most of all. So upset for them.

Poor thing 😞😞. You can hear the trauma to her lungs when she talks.

Whoever disliked this video your a jerk she was risking her life to safe those people because of the attack that day

God bless her what a strong lady and I hope that she is still doing well today 🙏 🙏

God Bless You, Ms. Duch. I hope you're doing well 20 years later. 💐💐

I hope she’s recovered from the mental scars as well as the physical scars.

When I first heard about her in a documentary, they'd said she was waiting for an elevator when the airplane struck Tower 1. The ignited fuel from the plane leaked down the elevator shafts. When Elaine's elevator opened, she caught on fire. This all happened within seconds, so there was no way to prevent it from happening. I'm truly surprised Elaine was able to survive this. I didn't even think she'd live long enough to make it out the building. When you're burned that badly, you're organs are exposed to all kinds of bacteria that the skin usually keeps out. She was exposed to a lot more bacteria than "normal" as a result of all the particles in the air around her. Many burn victims who survive the fire end up dying from infection later on. It's literally a miracle that she made it out alive and continued to survive after that.

Oh my God you are a amazing woman thank you for sharing.

Sept 11 we buried our mother. That afternoon I remembered watching 911 on the news headlines here in NZ. Ill never forget the horrific live coverage on television. So sorry for all those who lost their lives & sorry to the victims who survived but live with the scars of that horrible day.

Wow , a miracle she survived to tell the tale. Hope she and other survivors are doing okay today

I pray you continue to heal

I am speechless, makes me stop and think. What an amazing human being, hope she is living a peaceful life today. I am thankful for what I have today and will try to be better. Ms Duch, you are an inspiration, thank you for being an example of courage ma’am.

What a strong lady, god bless her 👍👍

WTF? Why cut it right in the middle?? I wanted to hear her story, and y'all just stop mid sentence😤😤😤???

GOD BLESS HER and the Two Men that helped her get out! 🙏 🙏🙏❤❤❤

That is amazing that you made it. I may have watched your future story too .

Godbless this woman so strong ⚘

So she burnt 77% of her body and managed to go down 80 such floors. Damn don’t mess with this lady

After all she had been through, you would think they would let her go home quietly. Why make her relive her experience on national television?

Worked at Grossman Burn Center Burn staff are amazing (dr, nurses, techs, therapists) Recovery is long and painful

may god bless you hope you get well

North tower impact 92nd to 98th floors. Crazy

Such a brave woman and a miraculous survival. How long did she spend in intensive care?

I hope is is well, God bless her

God bless you with what you did

I love you, you’re a very courageous person.

God Bless you 🙏🏼💜🙏🏼

Why didn't they play the entire news clip?

Best of the best. X

Why put an ad on anything about 9/11? Stop profiting off of this tragedy!

Nuclear burn pattern. How is she in 2018?

God bless this woman. Hope she is coping well, considering what she has been through because of those evil Islamic racist terrorists.

What’s her name?

Brave women I hope you made a full recovery.👍😁

Poor woman. She lost all her hair too 😭

Hey Elaine it's Paul Adams here hope all is well.

No words.

HERO HERO HERO!!! May the Good Lord BLESS YOU

I can't find anything about this Jerry Gaim person who helped her. Does anyone know if he survived? Pretty much all that comes up is this video

Jesus loves you

God bless this woman i sure hope she is doing well and keeping strong but at least the evil acts that day couldn't break her spirit not just hers but many Americans that day may all the survivors of that day stay strong and be strong for one another on reunion's to remember friends and co workers

Nobody deserves this , hope she’s doing fine now

Oh my God the Burns look so bad

What a sad tradegy for this women. But I have to ask questions... She came down from 88th floor via elavator? I thought they were all damaged according official media?!? Okay, she managed to walk the stairs also which must have been a serious act of power that deserves a lot of respect and she is luckily alive. Why did this video end so apprupt?!?

88th floor such a surviver

This is the first I have heard that the elevators were being used after the fact.

What a beautiful beautiful strong, resilient, inspirational, beautiful women. I need to shut the f*** up and stop complaining so much.

God Bless to all who endured such pain and sorrow from 9 11 Many blessings and love to everyone..🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇🙏🏻😇 We will never forget...

How do the conspiracists explain their and other burn victims stories

Anything is possible with the help of God

what the fuck where's the entire interview

is this because of the elevator bullshit?

Thumbs down????? What a world😢

Horrendous.

Where is the line between alive and no quality of life to where its better to die? I think I would have rather died here.

She still in that condition after all those years

Warrior spirit serving that lady well.. My admiration and respect goes out Sadly no way in hell did 2 planestrikes collapse 2 towers to neatly destroy WTC7 and the rest. Who benefits from the seizure of oil, lithium and heroin resources ?

Get out of here!!! Yuck!! He wouldn't. Nice try. Not talking about burned victim.

😔

❤

:(

This is a tragic story but everyone else had to walk from the 88th floor. Hmmm strange

I am very sorry to see this person who suffers injuries all over his body, but I would like to say that he must thank Bush and his henchmen for this, do not blame people who do not enter anything that even today they are forced to make us believe, l 11 / 9 was a designed project and the coffee table is an American coffee table ... I hope this person gets back to health soon.

Looking a little extra crispy there lmao

Woman looks like a Star Wars character

God bless her
