“She was an American police officer who died in the line of duty during the 9/11 attacks. She is credited with being the first police officer to report what she saw, and was helping to evacuate people from the World Trade Center’s south tower when it collapsed. She was helping a woman who was having an asthma attack on the second or third floor when the south tower collapsed. She left behind her husband and then two year old daughter. It's estimated that New York firefighters, with support from the police, were able to evacuate 30,000 people from the twin towers. Moira Smith alone was credited with saving hundreds of lives. Three months after her death she was posthumously awarded NYPD's Medal of Honor, and in 2012 a playground in Madison Square Park, where Smith regularly patrolled, was officially named "PO Moira Smith Playground."”
