HOPE AFTER 9/11
EWTN
Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, EWTN journalist Colm Flynn travels to New York, Shanksville and the Pentagon to meet survivors, witnesses and clergy whose lives and faith were forever changed by that day.
Deacon Paul Carris recounts escaping from the 71st floor of the North Tower while helping a woman he had never met descend to safety. At the Pentagon, Father Stephen McGraw remembers witnessing the attack and rushing toward the devastation to help. At Ground Zero and in Shanksville, priests, chaplains and survivors share powerful memories of courage, sacrifice, grief and prayer.
In the face of such suffering, many were left asking: Where was God on September 11?

After many months in hospital she became a Catholic.I do think that god was there with all the survivors all the time….
