"It feels like it was just a nightmare," she remembered. "It's just so horrible that you think you are in the middle of a nightmare, you just hoping you wake up."
"You actually saw more people running towards the building than you saw people running away from it. That's something hah always stuck to me. The amount of people that were willing to help and put themselves in harm's way to help other people," Medero added.
Medero spoke as the country prepares to mark two decades since the attacks in which four planes were hijacked, leading to the deaths of 2,996 people at the World Trade Center in New York City, at the Pentagon in Arlington and in Pennsylvania where the fourth flight crashed after passengers revolted.
