On September 11, 2001, the world watched as two terrorist hijacked planes launched attacks on the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in New York City.
On the 25th anniversary of the devastating events A+E Global Media is honoring the victims, survivors, and heroes of the day with the premiere of two new projects, both produced by Robin Roberts, the television broadcaster best known as the co-anchor of ABC’s Good Morning America.
The projects which will air on The History Channel and on Lifetime include “102 Minutes Inside the Towers” which premieres Friday, September 11 at 8/7c.
The special features the untold stories of key figures who were inside the buildings during the attack and escaped. From window washers and bankers to building security staff and first responders, these are the chilling first-hand accounts of what those who were inside the North and South Towers saw, heard, and experienced as the shocking events unfolded around them and they raced to survive.
Robin Roberts Presents “Angel in the Rubble: The Genelle Guzman Story” will premiere on Saturday, September 12 at 8/7c on Lifetime.
In the film, Sherri Shepherd stars as Genelle Guzman, a New York City transit employee who was the last survivor pulled from the debris at Ground Zero. Dondré Whitfield portrays Genelle’s boyfriend Roger McMillan and the film is based on Guzman-McMillan’s memoir “Angel in the Rubble: The Miraculous Rescue of 9/11’s Last Survivor.”
