Extra: A 9/11 Hero Talks Survival, Scars, And Faith

The Fox News Rundown

This past week, America marked 23 years since thousands of Americans were killed in a series of terrorist attacks in New York City, Shanksville, Pennsylvania, and Washington, D.C..

In our nation’s capital, 184 people were murdered when hijackers crashed American Airlines Flight 77 into the Pentagon.

Texas State Senator Brian Birdwell (R) was there on September 11th, 2001. He was an Army Lieutenant Colonel at the time and was nearly killed when the explosion knocked him to the ground and burned more than half of his body.

Birdwell joined FOX News Rundown host Dave Anthony to share his story of survival.

He detailed how he made it out of the Pentagon alive and how he wished for death on more than one occasion as he went through a long and painful recovery.

Birdwell also discussed his faith and how he continues to honor the heroes of 9/11, as well as those who lost their lives.

We often must cut interviews short during the week, but we thought you might like to hear the full interview.

This week on the FOX News Rundown, we will share our entire unedited and sometimes graphic interview with 9/11 survivor Brian Birdwell.
