In Memory of Edna Cintron
Edna Cintron was 46 years old and from New York, N.Y. (Born in Puerto Rico). Edna worked as an administrative assistant for Marsh & McLennan Cos. Inc in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
When American Airlines Flight 11 struck the North Tower at 8:46 am on September 11, 2001, Edna amazingly survived the impact. She is referred to as "the waving woman". For a great amount of time she stood at the edge of the the hole left by Flight 11 and looked out over New York City, waving desperately for help, while the building burned around her.
Edna's family identified her in the picture by her hair, dress, and gutsy persistance.
