Genelle Guzman-McMillan 9/11 survival story

Overview

Genelle Guzman-McMillan, a survivor of the September 11 attacks, has been the subject of biographical coverage regarding her experience being trapped under the North Tower debris for approximately 27 hours.

As a former Port Authority of New York and New Jersey employee, Guzman-McMillan survived the ordeal but suffered severe leg injuries requiring multiple operations. During a Ground Zero memorial event, she recounted a miraculous encounter with an unidentified individual named Paul who held her hand in the darkness, stating, “I don't know if it's a firefighter or if it's an angel person, but I've been looking for that person, Paul, who was holding my hand for the past 24 years.”

Her survival story is depicted in the Lifetime biographical drama ‘Angel in the Rubble: The Genelle Guzman Story’, which also highlights the support of her partner, Roger McMillan, during her recovery.
