Tania Head became a household name as a 9/11 survivor, celebrated for her miraculous escape from the very floor the plane hit. Her story of resilience, coupled with the heartbreaking death of her fiancé, Dave, moved the nation. As president of the Survivors' Network, she was a symbol of American strength, a fixture alongside political elites at Ground Zero.
