Franklin Graham Urges America to Return to God on 25th 9/11 Anniversary

Q: Who was the mysterious man named Paul in the World Trade Center rubble, and was his appearance truly a divine intervention?

There is no verified public evidence identifying “Paul” as a known rescuer. In Genelle Guzman-McMillan’s account, he was a mysterious man she says held her hand while she was trapped for 27 hours in the World Trade Center rubble and told her, “I’m not gonna let you go.” She has said she believes he was an angel, and Franklin Graham’s 9/11 anniversary special presents that testimony as part of her faith story. Whether it was divine intervention cannot be proved as a factual matter. That is a question of personal belief, not something confirmed by rescue records or independent investigation. Available reporting tied to Graham’s special and prior retellings of Guzman-McMillan’s survival do not establish Paul’s identity through documentation. What is firmly documented is that Guzman-McMillan was the last person pulled alive from the World Trade Center ruins, and that her experience became central to her Christian faith. Her account is widely cited in faith-based commemorations of 9/11 as an example of providence and survival under extraordinary circumstances. So, the strongest evidence-based answer is that “Paul” remains unidentified publicly, while the claim that he was an angel or a sign from God rests on Guzman-McMillan’s sincere personal testimony rather than verifiable proof.

Franklin Graham used the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks to call on Americans to "turn back" to God, saying the nation needs the same reliance on faith he saw after 9/11.
A new 30-minute BGEA program, "A Day That Changed Our Lives Forever," centers that message with survivor accounts, including Genelle Guzman-McMillan, who says she survived 27 hours under World Trade Center rubble after a mysterious man named Paul held her hand.
The special also features Sujo John, who escaped from the North Tower and later learned his pregnant wife had survived after arriving late to work at the South Tower.
Graham said his own Ground Zero ministry after the attacks led to the Billy Graham Rapid Response Team, which has since grown into an international network of thousands of crisis-trained chaplains.
