David was the first firefighter to arrive at the scene, while Manny lost his 13-year-old niece Jessica Urbano Ramirez in the fire and is now raising money for young people affected by the disaster.
David had attempted to rescue Jessica from the scene and while he climbed to the 20th floor in search of her, she had moved further up the building along with other residents in the hopes of getting to safety.

Looking visibly moved, Susanna said: "Manny, look. I can see how hard it is to hear, it's hard for me and all I did was report on it here in the studio.
"I just can't imagine how hard it is for you to listen, I know you're friends you and David, and I know at the time, David, you didn't realise you were looking for your friend's niece."
Susanna commended the guests for their courage
She continued: "But to find out that someone was in the building trying to get Jessica back, to get her to safety and she'd done what she thought was the safe thing to do, and unfortunately, that meant she was getting further into danger. It's just hideous.
"I find it remarkable that you are both able to speak so well, with such courage. That courage is remarkable and I admire you both for it and we are so grateful that you are able to talk about that because it is so important."
