Edna Cintron, a 38-year-old woman from New Jersey, became an iconic figure during the 9/11 attacks. As the Twin Towers collapsed, she was captured on camera waving and cheering for the rescue workers. Cintron, who worked on the 85th floor of the North Tower, miraculously survived the attack. She was later found in the rubble, disoriented but alive. Despite losing her husband and several colleagues, Cintron never lost hope. She was hailed as a symbol of resilience and human spirit in the face of tragedy.
