Lauren Manning (born 1961) is a survivor of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks on the World Trade Center. Her long recovery from massive burn injury was documented in a book authored by her husband, Greg Manning, entitled ''Love, Greg & Lauren'', published in 2002. The title was taken from the signature Manning used when sending emails to family and friends in the immediate aftermath of the terror attack. His emails made up the text of the book. Lauren Manning was born and raised in New Jersey and lived in Europe as a child.. In 1993, she became a senior vice president and partner at Cantor Fitzgerald, an investment bank which had several floors of offices in the World Trade Center, and which lost 658 employees when the buildings were destroyed. Manning had just entered the North Tower when it was hit by the aircraft. A wave of burning jet fuel exploded from one of the elevator shafts, enveloping Manning and setting her aflame. She ran to the street where she was extinguished by a bystander and loaded onto one of the first ambulances on the scene. Her injuries were nearly fatal, with 82.5% of her body surface burned. She was one of seventeen 9/11 victims treated at the New York Presbyterian Hospital burn unit. She was treated there for three months, followed by three more months at the Burke Rehabilitation Hospital in White Plains, New York. Lauren Manning's story was chronicled on the front page of ''The New York Times'' on October 17, 2001, as she was slowly emerging from her month-long drug-induced coma. Manning's memoir of 9/11 and her recovery from severe burns, ''Unmeasured Strength'', was published in 2011. Manning and her husband have two sons, aged 14 and 4. Although she was never able to return to work in the financial industry, she now works part time as a school secretary. The family now lives in Sagaponack, New York. ==Further reading== Manning, Greg (2002). ''Love, Greg and Lauren: A Husband's Day-by-Day Account of His Wife's Remarkable Recovery.''
