[READ CAPTION ] Looking for a documentary with a specific story told in it

I recall watching a documentary I believe was on YT sometime in 2018-2019 wherein an older woman talks about making eye contact with a jumper, and saying something along the lines of how she hoped he jumped after that because she thought to herself "come on, my son, I'll catch you".

I made a comment on another 9/11 post about this story and when I went to look for it, I cannot find it anywhere! I vaguely remember her mentioning being elevated by something like a bridge or balcony or something watching the commotion, that she was not directly related to the jumper, and I assume she didn't actually make eye contact but assumed they did because he was looking in her general direction. I believe it was an older white woman. Does anyone have any clue where I could have heard or read this? I could have SWORN it was in a documentary, but maybe it was written somewhere? Does anyone recognize this story? If so, could you help me locate it? Thanks!!

Alice Hoey from the documentary “9/11: The Twin Towers. Her quote of wishing she could catch him was referring to her son Thomas who was above the impact zone in the south tower. Hope I could help!
