Overview

Como agente novato, William Jimeno enfrentó el desafío final cuando él y otros socorristas respondieron al llamado para salvar vidas en el World Trade Center el 11 de septiembre de 2001. Cuando las Torres Gemelas cayeron, William quedó atrapado bajo los escombros durante 13 horas, un calvario capturado por el director de cine Oliver Stone en la gran película World Trade Center.

Inmigrante, Americano, Sobreviviente, escrito por el Agente William Jimeno y Charles Ricciardi, sigue al joven William mientras emigra a los Estados Unidos con su familia, llevando consigo un sentido de orgullo por su herencia colombiana y amor por su nuevo hogar en los Estados Unidos. William apreció su libertad y fue enseñado a trabajar duro, seguir sus sueños y nunca darse por vencido. Su historia enseña sutilmente lecciones de amor propio, inclusión, perseverancia y orgullo en los Estados Unidos de América.

About the Author

Co-Author Will Jimeno is a retired Port Authority of NY & NJ Police Detective who survived the World Trade Center attack on September 11, 2001. Jimeno and three fellow Port Authority officers, led by Sergeant John McLoughlin, rushed into the World Trade Center to conduct rescue operations when both towers collapsed upon them. Buried under the rubble for 13 hours, both Jimeno and McLoughlin were ultimately located by two marine reservists and a civilian. The nail-biting rescue and recovery operation took hours of work by NYPD Emergency Services, FDNY and PAPD departments. Jimeno’s entombment and rescue was later portrayed in the 2006 Oliver Stone film World Trade Center.
Since that time Jimeno has engaged in public speaking for both young and old, working hard to inspire and encourage people to never give up. Jimeno has another book, detailing his emotional and physical recovery, due out August of 2021 titled, Sunrise Through The Darkness in which he co-authored with Michael Moats, PysD.
