Twenty-five years ago, a woman stood in the hole an airliner had punched through the North Tower and waved for a hundred minutes. She is in dozens of photographs and several video clips. People have been arguing about her for a quarter century. Her name, almost certainly, was Edna Cintrón. She was 46. She worked as an assistant billing administrator at Marsh & McLennan, on the 97th floor. Flight 11 hit that building at 8:46 and tore open floors 93 through 99. It went through her company. Marsh lost 295 employees and 63 consultants that morning, more than any other firm in the North Tower. Minutes after the impact, people on the street and photographers on rooftops started noticing movement in the gash itself. A woman had made it to the torn edge of the floor slab, where the aluminum had peeled the wall open and there was outside air. She was leaning against a piece of the ruined exterior column, and she was waving her right arm. She kept doing it. Here is the part that is hard to sit with. Nobody was coming. All three stairwells in the North Tower were severed at impact. The roof doors were locked and the smoke made a helicopter landing impossible. Not one person at or above the 92nd floor of that building survived, 1,355 people in total, and that was already true at 8:46, before she ever reached the opening. She had no way of knowing that. So she stood there in the wind, 1,300 feet up, and signaled for help to a city that could see her perfectly and could not reach her. Witnesses and footage put her still there, still waving, until roughly ten seconds before the tower came down at 10:28. She was never formally identified. Her remains were never recovered, and the identification rests on video and photographic analysis and on the people who knew her recognizing her. Her husband William believed it was her. They had been through a lot together, including a period without a home, and she had carried him through his drinking. So the honest way to say it is this. We are nearly certain who she was, and we are completely certain what she did, which was refuse to stop asking for help for a hundred minutes on the worst morning in American history. Her name was Edna Cintrón.

Quelques minutes après que le vol United Airlines 175 se soit écrasé contre la tour Sud du World Trade Center, Welles Crowther, un jeune homme de seulement 24 ans, laissa un message vocal à sa mère. « Maman, c’est Welles. Je voulais juste te dire que je vais bien. » Ce fut son dernier appel, une ultime preuve d’amour et de réassurance. Welles travaillait comme courtier financier au 104ᵉ étage. Mais lorsque le chaos éclata, il ne pensa pas à sa propre sécurité. Il fit un choix conscient : descendre au cœur même de la destruction. Arrivé au 78ᵉ étage, au milieu de l’horreur, il cessa d’être simplement un homme d’affaires. Il devint quelque chose de plus — le héros que le monde allait connaître sous le nom de « l’homme au bandana rouge ». Il noua un simple foulard rouge sur son visage, non pas pour se cacher, mais pour pouvoir respirer dans la fumée épaisse et suffocante. Avec ce morceau de tissu, il commença à guider des survivants à travers les débris et les ténèbres. Welles porta une femme blessée dans ses bras sur quinze étages. Puis, sans hésiter, il remonta. Il sauva une autre personne, puis encore une autre. Il fit ce chemin héroïque de sauvetage encore et encore. « Tous ceux qui peuvent se lever, levez-vous maintenant. Et si vous pouvez aider les autres, faites-le », dit-il. Sa voix était un phare de calme et de détermination au milieu de la peur et du chaos. Il ne cria pas, il ne s’enfuit pas. Il agit simplement, avec un courage et une empathie presque incroyables — un instinct de protection que rien ne peut enseigner. Le corps de Welles fut retrouvé quelques jours plus tard, aux côtés d’un groupe de pompiers, un outil de secours à la main. Il montait une dernière fois. Ling Young, une survivante qu’il avait sauvée, parla de lui en des mots simples et bouleversants : « C’est mon ange gardien. Car sans lui, nous serions restés coincés là, à attendre l’effondrement. » Welles Crowther sauva au moins 12 vies ce jour-là. Il mourut avec ce bandana rouge sur le visage, devenu le symbole de son sacrifice silencieux mais éternel. Certains héros deviennent des légendes. D’autres, des chefs. Mais les plus grands héros sont parfois des gens ordinaires qui, avec un simple bandana rouge, nous rappellent que la force la plus puissante du monde est l’amour et la volonté de sauver autrui.

After an isolated and first time bite incident involving a family member, the city of Tuscan, AZ unlawfully removed Snuggles from his family’s homestead—and his family has now been fighting to bring him home for almost a year! They have had to fight simply for proof of life. They have spent well over $20,000 to keep their own dog boarded at a local shelter, where he is receiving minimal medical care, if any at all. His family has not received a single photo update and has not been allowed to see him. Even more disturbing, county reports have characterized the incident as a “mauling” and an “attack.” Those descriptions are blatantly false and completely misrepresent what actually happened. Snuggles was born and bred to be a working farm dog. He is a gentle giant who is deeply loved by his family. Instead, he has spent nearly a year confined inside a small enclosure on a cement floor, separated from his family, his farm, and everything he knows—with no end in sight. This is animal cruelty. This is a violation of basic rights. And all of those involved in #tuscanaz must be held accountable! Please share his story, keep asking questions, and keep fighting! #SaveSnuggles Join the fight to bring him home. ❤️🐾

Our farm butts against a wash where we get a lot of wildlife on our property such as coyotes, bobcats, mountain lions, javelina. As seen below on the purpose of these dogs, Coyoki and Snuggles are vital to protecting our livestock and are valued across the world

Yesterday I walked into a 7-Eleven. While I was paying for my coffee, one of the employees came in raving about “the prettiest” dog sitting in the front seat of a car outside. I raised my hand and said, “Yeah, that’s my dog.” The guy behind me in line added, “She’s national news.” I turned around. I didn’t recognize him. He just smiled and said with a grin, “Don’t mess with our dogs.” After that, he and every employee wanted photos with Lucy. But here’s the thing, folks: Lucy can’t be the only #AmericasDog. There’s room on that pedestal for one more - Snuggles. Pima County, get it straight. Snuggles is also America’s Dog. Don’t mess with America’s Dog. @JenniferEvn22, I love the post, but present tense. Snuggles is coming home. I can feel it. #SaveSnuggles

Please make the calls, send the emails, sign the petition, and, if you’re able, consider donating. Every action helps. Together, we can bring Snuggles home to the family who has been fighting for him. #SaveSnuggles 🐾❤️ c.org/2ynFX2wzCP

Rest in peace, beautiful Preston. 🕊️❤️🙏 You should have known nothing but love, safety, and happiness. Instead, your short life was marked by unimaginable cruelty. The world failed you, little one, and that is a heartbreaking truth. Those beasts Deserve the DEATH PENALTY!
