Burn Victim Goes Home From Hospital
Declaring that “life will never be normal for me and a lot of other people,” a critically burned survivor of the trade center attack was released from the hospital.
Securities trader Manu Dhingrha left the New York Weill Cornell Medical Center in Manhattan where he was treated for burns on 35% of his body. Dhingrha, 27, worked for Andover Brokerage on the 83rd floor of the north tower. He said he “heard an explosion” and was “covered in a ball of fire.”
He said he remembered thinking, “Please God, just make it quick,” but co-workers and friends helped him down the stairs and out.
