9/11: The Miracle Survivor

9/11: The Miracle Survivor reveals what could be the last untold survival story from the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York. Survivor Pasquale Buzzelli rode a blizzard of falling debris from a 22nd-floor World Trade Center stairwell and lived, miraculously, to tell his story. Pasquale recalls in extraordinary detail the full story of September 11, 2001. With exclusive access, the documentary follows an awe-inspiring account of events that led to Pasquale's survival against all odds, providing fresh inspiration from one of America's darkest days. His wife Louise talks candidly about her experiences dealing with this trauma when she was seven months pregnant on September 11. And two firefighters, Mike Morabito and Mike Lyons, also give first-hand accounts of the dramatic rescue they carried out, disobeying orders as they saved Pasquale. Home footage shows Pasquale and Louise making a video for their unborn child, who they had already named Hope. And the film also hears from a leading physicist who discusses the science behind Pasquale's survival; how did he survive the collapse of the North Tower by effectively surfing down it?
