      From known info, his final words supposedly mentioned something about not being able to see any possible living survivors.
      If the tower had not collapsed, there was probably not much he could do. Those who were near or above the impact zone were much less likely to make it through.

      There was a truck company a floor or two below him. So fire companies were getting there. They could have probably gotten the fires controlled enough to evacuate the floors above. In the north tower would be harder due to the interior collapse of the stairwell. From phone calls to 911 it seems the stairwells were blocked if this is the case the fire department with enough time could have maybe cleared enough of one stairwell to excavate people from above. All they need is to open and hold one stairwell to get people out. If you read the after action report that is what the FD plan was. They knew they couldn’t put out the fires, they figured there was localized interior collapse and thought they had 3-5 hours before the top of one of the towers fell off. They didn’t think a complete collapse would happen especially within the time frame it happened. The name of the game was save as many people as possible then let the fires burn out.

    One of the most amazing survival stories was from the south tower. His group started going down right away and that staircase was one that was demolished from the impact. So his group went up. He said lots of people in the upper floors were going up, because the smoke was so bad inside the stairwell. They went up to the 80's and his co workers were just sitting on the stairs, even passing out. After about five minutes of sitting there, he decided to go inside the floor and try another stairwell. He picked the one that wasn't demolished and got all the way out. My point being a lot of people made the mistake of going up.

The authorities were worried that a mass evacuation of the South Tower would clog up rescue efforts for the North Tower, or worse, evacuees would be hit by falling debris/people. obviously now we know that it would’ve been better to evacuate either way but hindsight is 20/20 and all

    This situation was tested in the NIST report, which is available in the public domain. They theorised that the fires would most likely burn out relatively quickly and the structural steel would decrease in temperature, regain strength and probably not cause a total collapse. The visible fires in the North Tower were largely gone by the time it collapsed with the exception of floor 92.
    NIST excerpt;
    "In WTC 1, if the fires had been allowed to continue past the time of building collapse, complete burnout would have likely occurred within a short time since the fires had already traversed around the entire floor, and most of the combustibles would have already been consumed."

    I’ve read an article (don’t remember the title) discussing the FDNY on 9/11 and one of the key things that stood out to me was what one firefighter in the article said regarding what happened if the towers stayed up longer. Essentially, and I’m paraphrasing for the most part, the firefighter said that had the towers been standing for several more hours, there would’ve been a few thousand to about 5 thousand firefighters in the towers. Now just imagine the casualties for the FDNY had that been the case and the towers collapsed! (If anyone is familiar with said article, please give a link to it in the comments. Thanks!)

      I was thinking after several hours, the fires would run out of material to burn, slowly dying. Then maybe FDNY can put out some of the fire, not necessarily all of it. And FDNY did carry hoses up the stairwells, they would have to connect them to a standpipe below the impact zone to get water on the fires. Also, where the steel beams narrow from three into one is 3-4 floors above the ground, so if someone slid down the columns, they may be able to jump 3-4 floors to the ground (better than 90+, obviously) and make sure to land feet first-a big maybe thou

    I watched the south tower get hit live on tv. Once the smoke cleared enough to see the impact area and the angle that the plane crashed into it, I had a gut feeling that the top wouldn't stay standing long. It pretty much took out one whole corner and caused extreme damage to the other adjacent corners. The north tower took more of direct impact in the middle. I didn't figure both buildings to completely collapse. A major problem for both though was 70,000 lbs of burning jet fuel that went down the elevator shafts and into the lobby of both buildings.

    Former Boeing Everett.... Those airplanes were built in our Plant. When the planes hit Twin Towers and Pentagon, they were obliterated into tiny pieces. All had FULL Fuel Loads because they were going across Country to West Coast Cites. As the Fuel mixed with Air, it became explosive and acted like a Thermobaric AFB (Air Fuel Bomb).
    As the Oxygen was used up, it became Fuel Rich / Oxidizer Lean. The bright fireball exiting far side of Buildings was partially due to this effect. Outside, there was lots of Oxygen and most of Fuel then burned before traveling far. There was still tons of blazing Jet Fuel that went down Elevator Shafts. People floors down were killed or badly burned by this.
    The Massive Impact and Internal Explosion knocked Insulation off Structural Steel and destroying Fire Sprinkler Systems. As temperatures rose, it caused Steel to lose over half of it's strength. Once Progressive Failure started, there was no stopping resulting in complete collapse.

    200 more people would have survived.
    It’s easier to look back after all of the scrutiny and guess. But it was complete shock for those living through it.
    I think you would have needed 5 hours more.

    They need to have life boats for these sky scrapers. They would stay on top of the building just like life boats and can be lowered with cables down the sides. It would have an operator and these guys would have a job where they simply sit at the top all day. They can operate the boats going down. You could also make a fire extinguishing system where the same type of carts are lowered down the sides, by these carts have fire hoses and a dedicated water source. It could literally stop right in front of the hole and just let loose right into the fire with multiple fire hoses.
    I also thought about air bags at the bottom, but that would still be lethal. You would hit that thing going so fast. I do believe the life boat idea is pretty good, though.
    The life boats would also be enclosed to protect you from heat and smoke.

      @@FerretKibble elevators are death traps that travel inside the building structure. These would be on the outside with a support post on each corner of the building. One corner post can operate all life boats in case the building is severed with a plane and it takes out 3 corners. The life boats cranes would be attached to independent mounting beams. That travel all the way down.
      Or, you could make a system of nets at the bottom that come out on large posts so that you could survive a jump from that high. A net is the only thing that can slowly slow you down. Air bags would be just as bad as concrete from those heights.

    It’s easy to think 23 years later that things would have worked out differently if the planes had hit at a different floor. That much jet fuel (the hijackers targeted transcontinental flights because of their fuel loads) plus the design of the towers plus the combustible materials, meant the towers were doomed. Maybe a few more people would have escaped, but we will never know.

    100% disagree on this what if. Regardless of collapse or not, smoke did the most killing after the initial impact. Having the longer window may have potentially saved a couple people, but most wouldnt. But the bigger impact would have been more rescue personnel on scene climbing both towers. With 3 hours, even more firefighters from outside jurisdictions would have made it to assist in rescue. Even if no more entered the building, (although i would think considerably more would have) the amount at the base being killed by the collapse would have been significantly higher.

    It still bothers me to this day that these towers collapsed. They should’ve been built stronger. While it’s true that nobody could have predicted what was going to happen, it should have been somewhat obvious that the thin clips used to hold the floor Deirdre’s in place were highly vulnerable to high temperatures and could fail if an entire floor was on fire. It’s doubtful that they ever took into consideration that the fire main, which fed water to the sprinklers, could have been cut, eliminating the sprinklers altogether. Has they encased the cores of these buildings in thick concrete, as well as completely filled in the hollow box beams going up the sides of the two buildings with high strength concrete, they probably would have remained standing. For some reason, making the building lighter in weight was a misguided priority that served no legitimate purpose. A stronger building is always going to be better than a weaker building. You couldn’t give me one of those mega-million dollar condos in those ridiculous skinny buildings.
