On the moment what could came to your mind is she could be my aunt, mother, grandmother etc., that's dying, so she need to be save like other that's were dying by that big tragedy that attack  NY. Paul and other found her under a giant block of concrete the size of a small house. Even though they had other people to save too, because on both tower worked so many people. They were worry that a fire could start and then they didn't get nothing about her. Also they were in a difficult situation and as they were trained they had to think about the 80% solution.
