@@myatreethe9222 Lol, I work in the medical field and you clearly do not. Plastics, are one in the same sweetheart. But anyway, like I said, it's some great work done and her doctors should be proud. They're talented.
@@porcelaindolli3 Wow you just said you work in the medical field and clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Google is your friend. Reconstructive P.S is for function and quality of life, cosmetic P.S is for appearance and vanity. There is a difference. Reconstructive P.S you can bill to your insurance because it is necessary to live... Cosmetic you cannot bill to any insurance. One is elective, the other is not. One is for function/quality of life, the other is for appearance. I just think that you should not call it cosmetic because you make it sound like she went and got a nose job... NO... She had 80% burns all over her body! She had reconstructive P.S. She was healed by a plastic surgeon who specialized in burns! That is an entire specialty that has nothing to do with cosmetic procedures and you make it sound that way. I just feel like it is disrespectful but you do you.
@@porcelaindolli3 And also I would like to say that you are wrong. Yes, of course she had to have surgeries so she could literally live and function but also SHE DID RECOVER VERY WELL. All those skin grafts that they made did not have to take. Lots could have gone wrong... She survived and thrived and that is way bigger than any surgeries. Your entire comment is so dismissive of her and sounds like you are taking away from how incredible it was that she was even able to survive let alone look mostly normal. You act like she went into the clinic and got botox injections.. Like NO HER FACE WAS BURNT OFF.
22 years later, and this still gives me chills. I cry for all the ones that lost their lives, men, women, children, first responders. Its horrible, but she is remarkable
I didn't realise the lobby was affected so badly at the time of the impact. It is definitely not luck that helped her survive, but her own will to live. She is a hero.
@@porcelaindolli3 I'm her son Jagger, are you finished? it does not matter how much it cost to help her recover to return to a normal life, she went through so much to survive to raise my brother and to have me.
@@jaggermanning5477 Your story isn't incredible, Jagger. Nor is your moms. The ones who actually died are, though. You're not special. Your mom profitted off of the death of others. She's a snake.
She looks amazing, wow, I cried when she said she prayed God to let her live for her little son 😢. It is impossible not to think of the many parents, sons, daughters, cousins… in those towers and in the planes, who probably had the same thoughts as she did 😢, not wanting to die, to come back to their family members. May they be resting in heavenly peace and looking down on their loved ones. Rest in peace heroes ♥️.
She is my hero !!! Whenever I have a really really bad day I play her story and instantly my day isn’t that bad and I’m ashamed for a moment and then gather strength from her strength!! What a woman’s woman !!!
Wow amazing woman. Incredibly lucky to survive, even though the trauma she endured is horrific. Her whole office died (658 employees) on floors 101-105 in tower one.
This amazing woman survived by her sheer will to live. Most people don’t know how powerful the mind-body connection is in these circumstances. She never gave up, not in the horrific and immediate aftermath nor in the months and years of treatments, surgery and rehab that followed. It takes more than just strength to endure all she had to overcome and simply survive but to return to living a normal life and having another child is nothing short of amazing. She indeed is one mentally and physically tough person with an indomitable spirit.
Wow, modern medicine is truly a marvel. 80% of her body severely burned and she looks healthy, happy and possibly even able to get pregnant again (although don’t want to assume if they adopted, used surrogacy, etc). Major credit to not only all the work she put in to recover but all the doctors and her care and recovery team.
Yeah the pregnancy got me thinking. I'm just courious. But I can believe that this would work. The skin needs to strech so much and scars, burned skin doesn't really do that. I'm wondering about the full Story.
Her surgeons did GREAT work, I'm amazed. Modern medicine is good, but scar tissue and the type of severe burns she had is very difficult to fix, very few people with her types of burn look this good. It's her surgeons yes, but also her genetics and her bodies own ability to heal and adjust from the sugeries. Scar tissue is very difficult to operate on, it's not normal skin at all.
Thank you Today for airing this story and thank you, Lauren, for sharing your story of survival and strength. It was such a tragic event, but this story gives hope and light. We will never forget ❤️🇺🇸.
What an amazing strong woman,this is the first survivors story I have seen of someone who was badly injured but fought through to stay alive I've seen lots of survivors stories,but to see what this woman went through and has come through such a horrible horrible event.Sadness for all who died and strength to those who survived but will never forget Respect to all of you.
Words and how u think really have power. She looks great for someone who went through a horrific experience. Her mindset to live and to be there for her family is really inspiring
Cantor Fitzgerald??? Every employee of that company who worked that day died 😭😭😭😭💔 Poor woman I just hope she doesn’t feel guilt, because no one except those who committed those atrocities could imagine what would happen that day.
This woman is amazing!! She's my hero! Ever since I was young, my worst fear has been to get burnt up, and even scarier, to NOT die from it. But if this woman can overcome all this terrifying stuff and be as amazing as she is, then I'm less afraid. She has made a huge difference in my life. That's some seriously good karma. Thanks to Lauren Manning for making life seem less scary to the rest of us!!
The incredible pain she fought through to live is astounding. She was as given a slim chance but she took it and ran. Bless her and bless all the colleagues she lost that day.
That is some crazy good skin grafting... Reminds me of the young woman who survived that Volcano erupting in NZ. Very similar burn percentage and recovery. Modern medicine has its downsides, but it definitely has its ups. I can't imagine the pain she had to endure over years and years of burn treatments and skin grafts.
Wow... just wow. I'm in tears watching the resilience of this woman and just thinking of all the other people.. those alive still fighting.. and those lives we've all lost.. it still feels like yesterday.. it will always feel like yesterday for the rest of eternity.. rip to all of those from 9/11🇺🇸❤🤍💙
That was all God. He heard her cry and let her live. What a beautiful story through a devastating tragedy. May God continue to bless this lady and her family.
There is a phone message from one mom and one husband who said thet were going to jump....... my respect goes to those who thought of others before they jumped.
Wow, her story of recovery is amazing. She reminds me of Barbra Streisand on the day this video was made. Beautiful soul. Blessings to you and your family.
God bless this resilient woman who was able to overcome this. Why they would choose to interview her on the rooftop when all of her colleagues died on the upper floors seems callous and wrong.
Love you Mom! you're absolutely the best mother I could ever ask for. Thanks so much for trying your hardest to have me after 9/11.
Keep loving her every moment you get. Bless you. 💗
Your mother is who exactly?
@@keithb372 Lauren Manning
Wow. Its crazy. I knew a girl that was from my school who lost her father in the WTC. He also worked for Cantor Fitzgerald.
bless up !!!!!
She looks like she recovered so well.
Lol, thats called about 60K+ worth of cosmetic work. But, I will say it's good work. :)

Same. So hard not to cry.
Me too.
Children? I didn't realize we lost any Children in 9/11. Although I know there was a school nearby that was evacuated
@@lunerwerewolf I know of one mom and toddler that had passed, they were on one of the planes that hit the towers
@@lunerwerewolfthere were children on those 4 planes, duh
I didn't realise the lobby was affected so badly at the time of the impact. It is definitely not luck that helped her survive, but her own will to live. She is a hero.
From what I’ve read, the fire ball came down the lift/evaluator shaft
Yeah. There was fireballs and jet fuel going down the elevator shafts
Yeah, it bears mentioning to avoid the elevators in a fire!!
On one of the documentarys that was being filmed of the firefighters that day , it shows how bad the lobby was…
She looks incredible. Her physical recovery appears to have been miraculous. I can only imagine the emotional recovery from such a significant trauma.
Lol, thats called about 60K+ worth of cosmetic work. But, I will say it's good work. :)

@JSS NY22 Very sorry to hear that.
@@QS-si3cq you can correct someone without the snarky attitude people make mistakes deal with it.
Totally agree, incredible, but also I think it would be very hard to know you were the only one who made it out.
@@QS-si3cq This must be the highlight of your week🙊
This woman is the epitome of resilience. Her strength is unbelievable.
Right! That’s what I said!!!

That phone call in part, saved her life too.
A beautiful woman who carries a bright light despite life's tragedies. I wish you love and joy the rest of your life.
Wow, what a woman. She is a true hero. So well spoken.
She is truly a miracle

@@kh8529 there is a woman in Australia (Turia Pitt) who was burnt even more badly and she has been able to bear children
She's 62 (she's had a *lot* of facial work). I doubt that she's planning another pregnancy. LOL

In 2009 she was 48 so I doubt she was pregnant that time.
Wow, kudos to her, she looks wonderful for what she has been through!
Her Strength is a Symbol of the Spirit of America... So awesome!!
Motherly love...unconditional
Thank you Today for airing this story and thank you, Lauren, for sharing your story of survival and strength. It was such a tragic event, but this story gives hope and light. We will never forget ❤️🇺🇸.
We should never forget. Either impacted directly or not. Just like the Bali bombing.
Wow. Stories like this always remind me of how lucky I am and people like Lauren never fail to amaze me.

She’s beautiful! Inside and out. What a powerful story.
What a beautiful strong woman. In a time of such loss, how lovely to hear a good story!
I can imagine people who go to work or live in tall buildings in New York for example are always on the brink of anxiety. I would today.
So fortunate to see such an incredible woman. Thank you.
Amazing story. Thank you, Lauren, for telling your story and passing on a message of hope.

she is amazing a true inspiration i always love watching interviews with her thanks for sharimg
Must've been the only survivor of Cantor. Everyone wanted so badly to live that day , so badly
it must have been so hard for her to lose all her coworkers
She was so brave
Cantor Fitzgerald??? Every employee of that company who worked that day died 😭😭😭😭💔 Poor woman I just hope she doesn’t feel guilt, because no one except those who committed those atrocities could imagine what would happen that day.
Her company had lost the most people as they were above the point of impact and had no way to escape.
