It had to be especially brutal for those on floors 92-110 in the north tower being stuck in those conditions for nearly 2 hours and possibly seeing the south tower collapse knowing they'd inevitably be next.
One guy climbed down a broken window from the 92nd floor to a window on the 91st floor. There was an open window on the 91st floor which was directly left of him but unfortunately he didn't know that. He tried kicking the window in he was at but was unable to break it and he lost his grip and fell all the way down from the 91st floor. He would have made it had he of been at one window left because I think there was 1 stairwell left on 91 and I believe everybody on that floor made it out.
Yes there were people in security telling the workers to go back to work. Rick knew after the 1993 attack, they'd be back to try again and he was prepared. He died doing what he was meant to do and thousands who consider him their angel @@edreynolds8721
I remember listening to a 911 call and it was after the first building was hit but before the second was hit. A woman in the 2nd building on one of the top floors was reporting the loud blast and the smoke and the 911 operator was telling her that other people have called for the same reason and there are first responders on the way. The woman in the tower asked if they should make their way to the ground floor and the 911 operator responded with a firm NO and to just remain calm and that no one in her building is in any danger. Boy was she wrong! Minutes later the second building was hit. I understand that the emergency call center is trained to calm people down and to avoid any kind of mass panic but damn, that woman’s life would have been saved (along with many others, I’m sure) if the folks in that 2nd building had begun to clear out of there and make their way down to the ground as soon as the first plane hit. At the time though, they didn’t know it was a plane and then when they did find that out they thought it was a private plane accident, a fluke. No one could have ever imagined it was a commercial plane and was done on purpose! 😢😥😞
@@edreynolds8721 right, you basically reiterated what I already said. No one knew what was happening, hence bad advice to stay put. If my memory serves me correctly, no one above the impact site in the 2nd tower survived which is why I said had they made their way to ground level AS SOON AS THE FIRST PLANE HIT, they may have had a fighting chance at survival. Of course this is all speculation and I know that in that moment there was a lot of confusion.
Those firefighters deserve a lot of admiration for knowing their fate but also knowing it was their duty to rescue as many people out of the building. Chief Peter Hayden said during an interview that every firefighter caried out the order, but he also saw groups of firefighters wishing each other luck indicating they knew their fate. Other firefighters like Orio Palmer, the only firefighter to reach the highest floor and the impact zone were probably unphased and knew it was his duty to get as many people out of the building.
I had friends who escaped the South Tower. When the first plane hit the North Tower, Herman Sandler, President of Sandler O'Neill on the 104th floor of the South Tower, saw the plane go in. He immediately went to the transaction floor and told the employees there that it was terrorism and they could leave immediately if they wanted. Of course, the employees were aware of the South tower collision but Sandler had actually watched the plane impact. Many of the employees did leave by one of the stairwells. They were on approximately the 55th floor when the second plane hit their building. Sandler O'Neill lost about half their employees but Herman Sandler's quick thinking probably saved many of those who survived.
Yes. We lost a friend of the family in the south tower -on the 84 floor because they were being told to stay put. He called his wife and said not to worry-that they were fine. 💔
I can't get those people hanging out the windows out of my head, part of me thinks they're still up there Over 20 years later things still haven't fully sunken in
Heeeey something similar happens to me. Whenever I see a picture or video of the Towers on a normal day before the tragedy, I can only see the smoke, the people on the windows fighting to breathe, the next plane coming to hit the other tower, I can only see tragedy
and the ppl who jumped because they couldn't stand the heat/smoke any longer and they hit the ground in a violent "bang" that produced a pink mist. sorry but that's true
I cannot get the images out of my mind ever. I saw a slide show at my fire station from friends who were on Texas Task Force 1 who went there to help. I saw a zoomed in picture of people at the window trying to breathe. I saw a young lady that looked just like my little sister in one of the windows. 😢
If I had been working in either tower and someone said to me to go back to my desk this is my take on that!!!! Once one tower was struck by the jet liner and I was in the other tower and some stupid supervisor say "oh, you are fine come back and sit down at your desk" I would've gotten my coat, purse, and my keys and either rode down the elevator or gone down the stairs and gotten the hell out of there - no job is worth dying for!!!!!
@@stephenhumphrey7935 even if it was an accident instead of an attack (inside job), I would have gone out anyway. The towers were both under danger even after the first attack, if one tower falls sideways on the other, then what?
It is really easy to say that, but seriously - you never know what you would do in any situation. We already know what happened so we have that frame of reference. They, on the other hand, did not know.
I worked for American Express in Ft. Lauderdale during 9/11. Our headquarters was across the street from the WTC in the WFC. Our building was out of commission for a year. And one of our NY employees was struck by a plane wheel when walking to work. She was injured pretty badly and I think 60 Minutes did a segment on her.
I saw her on a video. Her name is Debra. The blade from the engine severed half her backside and her heel had to be amputated. She stayed in hospital the longest of any survivor I think. All in all, lucky it didnt sever her face/ head. Her mother was by her side in the video. So touching the amount of love she has for her daughter. Hope your thriving Debra wherever you are❤
9/11 I wasn't having the TV on and about maybe 11:00 I called American Express in New York to pay my bill and the recording said we are unable to process this at this time after that I went to my boyfriend's house and he was watching the television I'm assuming it was around 11:00 or 12:00 and he told me what happened and I looked at the screen and all it was was at the end after all of it and it was it was all the smoke all covering Manhattan and I fell to my knees on the sofa. I'm from the Buffalo area and I lived in Lodi New Jersey outside of New York City in 81 and had been in and out of the World Trade Centers and photograph them it was a horrible time it was a horrible thing to have to hear
Stanley Praimnath who was in the impact zone when the second plane hit noted that he saw a wing lodged in his office door about 20 feet from him after the plane went in. Flames then started to engulf the wing. There is an amateur video on YT where you can hear cracking from within the south tower. The amateur cameraman wanted to leave his apartment because he could hear the creaking. Even while the south tower was being evacuated, a maintenance man said in an interview that he looked out a window as he descended the stairs and said the north tower was already leaning above impact. I forgot where I heard this but there was an account that after one of the planes went in, it sounded like heavy machinery was being moved above; obviously the sound of beams falling, or bending, or floors collapsing.
The structures compromised NOTHING, as well told by a main engeneer years before, because the twins was like a web spider of STEEL colums, no problem if yor cut several colums of one side, you have the other three sides and most of the core colums to maintain the structure PERFECTLY WELL, the official story is a fairtale "as always", (the biggest ever told) @@mssha1980
I cant imagine the people left in north tower after the south tower collapsed... they knew their fate. The south tower collapse was no secret to the people left in north.
I still cry. Nobody expects to know when their final moment is.. I was up in those buildings when I was a teenager we got to go on to the top observatory.. I am now 60 years old and I still get sick to my stomach... These poor people that jumped my heart is just broken.
Kevin Cosgrove's final calls are heartbreaking. You can hear how hopeless he sounds. The absolute last one where the tower collapses with him still on the phone is tough to hear even today.
@@scottfreckle237 are you actually serious? You do realize in 01 the internet was total ass right? uploading from a cell phone, was NOT a thing. The people who had cameras were journalists and people who enjoyed tech, and families who had their giant cameras on them to film their families in the city. You HAVE to be gen z because genz is the generation that didn't know life before the insanity the internet is now and is totally ignorant to how things were before it.
Have you ever been to the 9/11 museum? There are actually some parts of the windows of the planes that survived. It was really weird to look through the window of one of the planes that hit the towers.
The second plane would've seen it coming miles away. Absolutely horrifying. The North Tower already on fire and smoking would've been a beacon for the second plane.
@@StepUpMedia039you would think the passengers would be in complete spazz mode after they saw what they were approaching and have decided to rush the cockpit like the flight 93 passengers did.
There is video recorded right before the collapse A man hangs from one of the windows, speaking into a grey handheld camera for a few moments, then he passes the camera to the man hanging in the window right next to him. The man proceeds to direct the camera towards himself and begins speaking. These people had to have known at some point that all was lost. Sadly no one would be coming for them. Especially after the south tower collapse. I believe these men were recording final messages to their family and friends. Sadly this camera was never found. Or was it? The FBI has video of the disaster that they cannot release due reasons to "evidence in an ongoing investigation or trial" I could imagine they have video from the inside. Images even (confirmed). but some of this material is withheld from release due to family's request. Maybe we will be able to see such things in the next 30-50 years? Who knows. Those poor people will remain on my mind and in my heart until the day I die.
Interesting. Do you know the name of the video? I know I saw a video (probably the WTC enhanced videos channel) where you can still see someone waving a white object minutes before WTC1 collapsed. As for the camera - it would have been made of mostly plastic and it would have been a tape, which would have melted. No one had hard drive cameras back then.
I also found a video of a woman who was on one of the 80-something floors who saw a helicopter trying to see if they could reach them, and then they backed off. This woman was later rescued by Rick Rescorla and she was able to get down the stairs before the collapse. I think it may have been the National Geographic special that came out last year.
i know the two guys your talking about i seen the video you can clearly see him holding something. i thought it was a phone but , i know in the video you can see something on the screen of what ever he is holding and it does seem like he was speaking and recording what he was seeing below him trying to maybe show his friends and family what he was experiencing im gonna go look and see which video it is in the enhanced WTC VIDS
@@CritterHouseUSA If you dont find it before i do, I promise i will go looking for it in my history soon. Its on one of the "Person's name" videos. About 8 mins into said 25-40 minute recording. I will go looking for it soon, I actually stumbled onto it the other day in my travels across platforms. Will have to remember how or where i found it.
@@raquelarchuleta6430 Im having a hard time finding it again. And yes It is in enhanced wtc video somewhere. It is a 30+ minute video somewhere in a closeup of towers around the 8-13 minute mark of said video. The video is infamously refered to by "someones last name, film" much like, "The Zapruder Film". Im wanting to say it was by the same person who filmed the jumpers crashing down into the stage below. Same video just a different time therein obviously. If you can find it that would be good. Im trying on and off today but a lot to dig through. Not BSing you though, this video is real.
It would be interesting to see if anyone from that helicopter that predicted the north tower collapse could be found and interviewed about what they saw. Those floor trusses giving way were the real issue with the floors pancaking like they did. Great video as always.
According to the Nist Report at 10.21 the aviation unit reported that the the North tower is leaning southwest and appears to be buckling in the southwest corner. the photo taken around that time shows a massive fire engulfing that section of the building and the perimeter columns themselves bending inwards
I watched an interview with retired FDNY firefighter Tim Brown. In it he said Rescue 1’s commanding officer had put out a mayday that they had become trapped in a localised collapse above the 80th floor. With all the confusion and problems with the radio’s I wonder if this information ever made it down to the chief’s at the command posts.
@@Lilgoth89the collapse did actually intiate at that southwest corner you can see in a few angles. The corner buckles, and over a few seconds it spreads to the entire floor and then the entire impact zone falls with it. It’s hard to see because in most angles it’s obscured by the dust of the south tower.
A FINE comment on this TRAGIC attack. RIP to those who died and may their relatives be able to carry on their lives without the agony of loss as time passes.
I'm surprised you didn't mention the accounts of Frank DeMartini. He was the Construction Manager at the World Trade Center, and was responsible for the evacuations of many floors close to the impact site in the North Tower. He reported via radio channel B when the express elevators were in danger of collapse, and it's believed he saw something at the same time that indicated a possible impending collapse. He and his colleague Pablo Ortiz lost their lives that day.
I visited ground zero while in New York last week, it was absolutely surreal to be there and to visit the museum also, I saw quite a few women's names then beside their names said "with unborn child". So sad to read. Shame on the person or people who told workers it was safe to go back to their desks. RIP to all the victims and to the firefighters and ambulance workers who lost their lives, the NYFD faced thee impossible that day.
I've always wondered how many people just reached the bottom floor or were just walking out of the south and north towers, only to have the collapse kill them. It must have been one of the worst feelings. I assume it was in the hundreds.
There was a guy that worked in the building as some kind of WTC building inspector (I don't remember exactly, as it's been over ten years since I read the book). He got down the stairs and out of the building, but he went back up to help with the rescue efforts and was in there when it collapsed.
Everyone in the lower floors who started down the stairs within twenty minutes of the impact reached safety. The main flood of evacuations was done before the collapses of the towers. Almost all of the people above the zones of impact perished. Only a handful got past the smoke, fire and debris. Between the two buildings, there was only one intact stairwell down past the damage. Aside from the firefighters and other first responders there were maybe two to three dozen people still trying to get mobility impaired people down those endless steps to escape.
These Twin Towers vids are my favourite of your content, I'm not into stadiums (but don't let that put you off I'm just one viewer), every time you post I'm like please be a Twin Towers vid they are so interesting and how you are trying really hard to make original content about such widely covered event; well done!
@Gorgaveli I wouldn't take the job. Since 9-11, I have not gone higher in a building than the 27th floor, and that was only to show some visitors an observation deck.
This is the kind of practical advice that explains that statistic that most Americans think they can beat a grizzly bear in a bare hands fight. Sure, kid. I bet you would.
About half way through footage of the ABC broadcast, you can see a camera angle of the edge of the south tower. It shows sparking, as if someone is using a blow torch. Then the metal starts liquefying and starts to run from where it originates. When I saw that, I knew it was just a matter of time. Shortly after, within a few minutes, the collapse begins. Anytime i see this coverage, I still find it shocking. I recall Peter Jennings being told the building had just collapsed and he couldn’t grasp what just happened. He kept saying “the top of the building fell?”. The correspondent keeps telling him the entire building was gone. Jennings keeps asking “are you sure?”. The whole event is still hard to believe.
I, too, was in utter disbelief for quite a while as I watched from my TV set in Westchester County. Days later, I still could not grasp that all this happened.
You should do a video of skyscrapers that are very similar in design to the World Trade Center. For example, the Bank of Oklahoma Tower and AON tower were both designed by Minoru Yamasaki, the original designer for the World Trade Center. Both these buildings closely resemble the South Tower, its awesome
@@MandyAyong i hope they won't change the original design but it seems like it's unavoidable. it's a wonderful tower and very dystopian looking. there are plans to change the design but i don't like it at all. the tower stands alone amongst normal 8 story buildings and i luv the dark brown steel
This guy is very knowledgeable about 9/11, through watching his videos im learning a lot about what happened on that tragic day, and how the plane's impact affected the structures of the twin towers as im interested in Physics myself.
I knew of someone second-hand (a colleague of a colleague) who was in the South Tower on the 78th floor when the North was hit. Since he didn't actually work there, he ignored the "return to work" announcements. He started going down via a stairwell. When they got to the second lobby (around 40th), many people were tired and decided it would be OK to take an elevator the rest of the way. The second plane hit just then when he was in the lobby but not yet close to the elevators. That saved him because the jet fuel fireballs went down every elevator shaft that he could see. No one got out of those particular elevators alive. Some elevators continued to function long enough to arrive at the lobby level and open their doors. Everyone who saw it ran in terror for the stairwells.
I wonder if there were pockets in the North Tower above the impact zone that were somehow shielded from the smoke and people stayed alive and unharmed until collapse.
While 911 calls from people trapped on the upper floors of the North Tower continued right until the collapse the number had greatly diminished in the last 15 or 20 minutes, so most of the people were probably dead by then.
There definitely were pockets above the impact zone where people survived until the collapse. However, I doubt any were smoke or heat free. Wherever survivors held on by that point, you can be assured they were doing so in miserable, barely survivable conditions. Virtually nothing pleasant was going on up there by then!
I watched a documentary that mentioned the reason the towers fell, was because the floors used the architectural design of “tresses”. Tresses are a common design, basically buttress the floors in place. they’re apparently very dangerous for firemen as they have a tendency to come down, hence their training diddy: “never trust tresses”. So as the fire burned where the planes hit, tresses gave out and the floors began to periodically collapse above and below the impact site. For the firemen, they would have heard a lot of grinding and banging the further up they went. Eventually there wasn’t enough support for the upper part and it came down causing a domino effect.
There’s a video of a 9/11 survivor talking to a class of high schoolers, where he says that he was in the South Tower when the first plane hit, at one point looked out a window, and saw pieces of the airplane still in the North Tower.
The airplane wheels were still stowed for flight; they didn't plan on landing. I doubt any of the tires would have been anywhere closeby for people in the building to see. Stairways to the roof would likely have been locked, especially on the North tower. That's where the TV antennas were, thus would have been a highly restricted area given the proximity to the RF being generated up there. Another good video with good thoughts. Thanks, again!
*Yeah a lady walking a couple of blocks away from the towers was struck by the landing gear and it peeled her skin off from her neck, down her back, down to her legs. She was severely injured and is lucky to be alive.💯*
@@smokeyp7565It might have been the Window cleaner, he was popular with people that worked there and unfortunately he may have been working that day and the scaffolding got knocked off the building. His name was Roko Camaj and he was in the South Tower on the top floor. People have already speculated if the scaffolding was still up there could he have lowered himself down even 50 floors to where he or a few people could be rescued. People have analyzed everything to do with that day like maybe if someone could have picked the lock to the roof. Edit: It wasn't the window cleaner.
I think you are doing a great service. There are still people who didn’t believe it occurred or people who say it was an inside job, I really appreciate you doing this despite the demonetization because however tragic details of the structure and physics of the collapse can be used for good reasons as well.
your Amazingggggg..... keep these videos coming. I have a million questions with ALL aspects regarding everything that day...so again thank you for doing what you do!
There is the story of the guy whose was located in the rubble months after the towers collapsed, who was found with an intact disposable camera in his pocket. It was mostly photos from the wedding he had attended the weekend prior to 9/11, but reportedly about HALF the roll contained photos taken INSIDE the tower after the impact. His family refused to release any of the photos.
@@krisstopher8259 No I watched a show where they interviewed the people that found the camera and the family who denied access. They said nobody should ever see the photos.
I still cry , for all the poor people that died in the twin towers, twenty years ago. May god bless all those poor souls. I will love them always.❤❤ May god bless America. 🎉
given how horrifiying it was to see south tower collapse from the streets,,,just think of being trapped above the impact of north tower and looking out window at the south tower collapsing!!
The south facing side of the North Tower had almost no people seen in the windows due to extreme damage and smoke on that side of the building. There were a few on the east face which could have an angled view of the South Tower but most of them perished before the collapse. The majority of upper floor north tower post-impact survivors were seen on the north and west faces (mostly north west corner which had the least amount of smoke due to wind direction). It's probably more accurate to presume they didnt directly see the south tower fall, rather they certainly heard & felt it then saw the dust clouds that began rolling onto the streets below them. Plus, calls to loved ones outside who fed them the info that the south tower fell got back to them. So yes, they definitely knew the south tower had fallen though they likely were unable to actually witness it cos they were on the opposite facing side. One thing is certain, they almost all instinctively knew their tower would soon be next, hence the wave of jumpers that sadly followed very quickly after Tower 2 fell.
Speaking of controlled demolitions, a lot of people claim that it was an inside job because there were detonations going off as the buildings came down, but those were supposed to happen, every building over a certain height must have explosives added to automatically go off if the building's structure is compromised so they fall straight down instead of sideways. They don't tell the general public about that because people might be scared of going into skyscrapers knowing they were surrounded by high explosives.
@@mikebyrd8278 Y'know, it's getting really f**king annoying when people think calling something "BS" is a good enough argument to claim a victory. It's a fact, you can research it if you like but if you were actually interested in the facts you would have done it already. If you're going to call someone a liar, provide the evidence or STFU.
It sure looked like a controlled demolition to me. Building 7 collapsed in the same manner. I was 21 on 9-11-01. I've always believed it was an inside job. Funny how these buildings couldn't handle the impact, but they found Atta's passport just lying around at the scene. The US government has committed a lot of false flags on its own citizens. This one is likely one of them.
Just fyi I believe others have mentioned it but the bulk of the north tower's lobby windows were already blown out from the first impact. There's video of the firefighters just walking right through them on arrival and Chief Pfeifer mentions it upon rolling up to the front door. Awesome channel 👏
Correct, but not from impact. Jet fuel ran the elevator shafts to floor. A flash explosion blew out the windows. Many victims were scene exiting the elevator burnt. Black soot was also visible.
I’m pretty sure there’s some footage of Tower Two falling out there where, just before it starts collapsing, you can see the external cladding bending inwards before snapping.
This is not sarcasm. I appreciate you explaining that in a manner that didn't leave me a convulsing, sobbing mess. I remember 9/11 and part of me wants to know the whole truth but what the documentaries do to me emotionally is usually more than I can take, so thank you.
Realize this. If there is any video allowed on TH-cam that talks about this event it's most likely bullshit because they've done a damn good job of scrubbing everything else off the internet. They don't want us questioning this event...
We lost two friends in Tower 2. I grew up in NYC and my aunt and uncle brought me to Windows on the World for my 16th, 17, and 18 birthdays. In my sister-in-laws neighborhood in Jersey nearly every family lost a family member or friend. It was and continues to be something that has never left us. It's a stark reminder when we go back to Jersey. One of my sister-in-law's friends refused to continue working in the towers after the bombing of '93. She moved to an office in Jersey as she had said it was going to happen again. None of us could fathom how they would do it. We have not been back to see Ground Zero. It's just too painful.
As for the explosions seen as the towers were collapsing - remember these towers were not just tall but wide. Each floor was about one acre in area (208ft by 208ft or 43560 sq ft) with 12ft slab to slab between each floor. When the floors began pancaking down at free fall speed it looked to be falling about 10 floors per second at the minimum. Over 500,000 cubic feet of air compressed in less than 0.1 seconds would act like a secondary explosion - and that was for every floor below the impact zone.
Can your math explain why ninety percent of the bodies were not found in the debris ? Or why ninety percent of the skyscrapers were also MIA on 9/11? 🪴
@@Larry26-f1w _"why ninety percent of the bodies were not found in the debris ? "_ Most of the victims have been identified with dna matching. _"Or why ninety percent of the skyscrapers were also MIA on 9/11?"_ That's simply made up.
I thought that the floors collapsing is what initiated the collapse of the building. How would the building have remained standing while floors have already begun to collapse internally? My understanding is that the heat from the fires softened the floor trusses to such a point that they began to sag. The sagging pulled in on the outer columns of the building, which snapped once the tension reached a critical point. This snapping immediately caused the tower to collapse. Could the people inside have been referring to this sagging when they said the floors were collapsing? And how would they be able to tell that the floors beneath them were collapsing in the first place? I'm not trying to be contrairan, I'm genuinely curious.
Good comment. You are correct in your assumptions re the way the building was constructed and the mechanism of collapse in this instance- the beams sagged from the heat and because sagging caused them to not span as far, they slid from their supports. I would be interested to see if you get an answer. (I have watched hours of footage of this being built and supervisors discussing it)
Yeah I agree you have it correct i guess the people inside could feel the floors falling apart and given how they were made perhaps only small parts of the floors were collapsing and they could hear the loudness of it crashing down or could of caused the building to sway more
The floor trusses didn’t pull in the external columns - the steel connections weren’t strong enough. Once the floors collapsed they no longer braced the columns, meaning the columns weren’t from being braced every floor to much further apart. After a number of floors collapsed the columns could no longer support themselves and so buckled (you can see this moment on some of the videos where the facade bends).
Can you do a video if 9/11 was known by US authorities at the last minutes and what they could've done to stop it once it was in motion, like an interception or something of the like. I think the last plane was going to be kamikazed by 2 unarmed F-16s. If the US knew they could have had a bit of time to arm them.
This much hard to say for sure. Anyone that may believe it I ask you wheres the proof (that they knew that it would happen that day before it did. and where)? but it is confirmed information that the Bush administration was warned by CIA spies that terrorists planned to do this with airline flights up to almost a year before it happened. Official word is they were told about plans, they just didnt know the where or the who.
I often wondered this but tbh from the interception perspective it was a catch 22… those airliners were only ever going to be brought down in neighbourhoods, or reach their targets. Trade a certainty (bring a plane down over buildings) over an uncertainty (what are these planes potentially going to do?)
I am happy you talk about these people, they went through the nightmare and some don't acknowledge it. Btw, we speculate, but nowadays people would be online, on IG, doing lives sending for help... Absolutely heartbreaking...
If I remember right Stanley Praimnath (the dude who ducked down under his office and narrowly avoided being hit by the 2nd plane), said that there were parts of the plane's fuselage in what used to be his floor.
In the South Tower, one of the FDNY Firefighters, Oriel Palmer, who ran marathons as a hobby, reached the lower parts of the impact area of the tower. Even the transcript of one of his transmissions is harrowing: "Battalion 7 Ladder 15... we've got 2 isolated pockets of fire, we should be able to knock it down with 2 lines, radio that, 78th floor. Numerous 10-45 Code 1's," For those who don't know, 10-45 Code 1 means those who were dead, he saw more dead bodies than he could count
And because they all controlled demolitions we still got some crazy dude here trying to disprove it called mickey and depressed red head. Kinda funny if you think about, its like how desperate does someone have to be to believe a story above what they know.
There was a group of about 6 people stuck in an elevator at the 50th floor in the North Tower on 9/11, one of those people happened to be a janitor by the name of Jan Demczur and with his metal squeegee, he and others chipped through layers of Sheetrock to escape through a bathroom. Jan and the group survived
@@suzyq4982 something like 200 people, estimated, were killed in the elevators. it would have been more but after the south tower collapsed, the power was cut to the north tower, which released the locks that had prevented people from getting out of elevators on the ground floor. A number of people walked out, having no idea what had been going on.
So from South Tower elevator survivors, all mentioned the elevator swayed in motion with with the building itself as the plane impacted. Some who were on the elevators of the 78th floor that did not free fall in the South Tower, mentioned that the plane destroyed 85% of the elevator car, and that they had to pull through the door with strength to get out of the elevator/
@@historyisthebestmyfans2094 is it true there was one express elevator in the South Tower that free-fell from the 78th floor and stopped just inches above the lobby and firemen had to cut through the metal to get everyone out?
Here's a Video Idea Maybe you could make a video talking about those people who survived the collapse of the towers, just a idea that came into my mind Or maybe talk about who where the 18 people that escaped from above the impact zone of the south tower
The lobby Windows of the North Tower were already blown out prior to the South Tower collapsing. The explanation was jet fuel from the plane poured into the elevator shafts, blew the elevator doors open, knocked the marble off the walls and shattered the windows. Your explanation is easier to believe but incorrect.
Could you make a video on how high firefighters got in both towers? I know Orio Palmer and his battalion got up to the 78th floor of the south tower shortly before collapse
Orio and Ron Bucca are Heros For The Ages. The video of Orios team entering the building while you can hear the jumpers hitting the ground outside - FREAKING BALLS OF STEEL
One guy that died was the guy who managed the tv antenna at the top of the 1st building that was hit. He would have had access to the roof. I found out about him from a documentary about all the reporters that day. When the buildings collapsed, the ones in the studio thought the reporters on the scene had all been killed. Everyone lived except for that one guy who worked at the top of the WTC and took care of the antenna. I watched other videos where some people said doors that would have been unlocked/ open were jammed shut from the impact of the plane causing the door frame to shift so maybe that prevented people from getting onto the roof even if they had a key that could unlock the door.
I love your videos, without a question of a doubt you love Alternate History especially 9/11 the Twin Towers. I k ow you’ve done one what if the Towers had survived, there’s several more images out there showing the towers surviving, can you show the Plaza being turned into a memorial and the towers being close to the public permanently, also how the fires would eventually go off on their own. Thank you
South tower had one stairwell that remained intact until collapse because of the angle of the plane but both towers roofs were locked because of the security put in plane after the 1993 bombings so roof evac would have been impossible. People called to try to get roof doors unlocked but remote access was impossible because damage to lines or something like that and nobody around had keys.
Lesson #1 : The thousands of resulting deaths meant absolutely nothing to the planners . Lesson #2 ; Fires and planes cannot turn skyscrapers into dust midair as they fall .
@@mikebyrd8278these buildings disintegrated during their 8sec free fall. The odd holes left after the destruction had pockets of molten red hot steel up 6 months after the buildings were destroyed. A number of firemen, paramedics, cops and people involved in the clean up succumbed to rare cancers later in their life. Signs of radiation poisoning. Look into it.
@@AnthonyGall0YT _"these buildings disintegrated during their 8sec free fall."_ 1. It was longer than that. 2. They were pulverised from the top down. _"A number of firemen, paramedics, cops and people involved in the clean up succumbed to rare cancers later in their life. "_ Due to carcinogens in the rubble. If you read the scientific papers they suggest the sources.
According to survivor Joe Dittmar, they were able to see plane fuselage in the North Tower from the 90th floor. A fire door that should have closed was propped open so they were able to enter the 90th floor from the stairwell. Some entered the elevator from there, but Joe continued down the stairwell. They made it to the 72nd floor when their Tower was hit by the 2nd plane at floors 77-83. They made it to floor 35 when they encountered FD/PD coming up. They made it down to the basement mall section and one youngster told them to go to the Northeast part of the mall because it was furthest away from the WTC buildings. They made it 8 blocks outside when the South Tower collapsed. When the attack first happened they had no idea what was going on because they were in an internal area with no windows, they got their first knowledge on that 90th floor and when the 2nd plane hit they thought fuselage had blown up from the other Tower, not realizing it was a second plane strike
I just watched an interview with a survivor of the south tower... The highest floor in the south tower that was occupied was the 105th. He said when they looked over at North tower they could see actually part of a fuselage of the plane in the big black hole, Amongst people being sucked out the window, Lots of papers and other things flying around as well. I think if you were in either tower above where the planes hit, You would just be inundated with smoke and fire. Just wanted to add this.😊
I know you get requests about 9/11. I was just curious but would you or are you planning a video about American Airlines Flight 77: the flight that hit the Pentagon
the collapse of the south tower saved some lives in the north tower. for example, beyond the evacuation orders, the south tower collapse cut off power to the north tower, resulting in the releasing of the locks holding the elevator doors shut tight. After the south tower collapse, people trapped in the elevators on the ground floor of the north tower were finally able to open them and walk out, not having any idea what had gone on in the previous hour.
In standley primaths interview in the documentary inside the twin towers the plane hit at an angle and came directly in his office which was i do believe on the 84th floor. He saw the plane's engine stuck in a doorway on his floor. He was the only one on his floor that survived the impact that day.
Yes. Stairwells are better protected by concrete shafts, not WTC drywall, and the stairwells are distributed more around the floorplan instead of all being in one place.
I was already a year old during 9/11, but only found out about it on a news rerun when I was 3. I thought it was live footage and kept asking my mom if the woman on the phone screaming that the floor was "hot" and the people hanging on the windows were going to be saved. I don't remember if I saw footage of the towers collapsing back then, but the people and those brief glimpses of the jumpers really stuck with me. I didn't have a full understanding of death yet but I knew what I was seeing was especially horrific. Years later it all came back and knowing what happened to all those firefighters and first responders just makes it more heartbeaking.
Wherever I go, wherever I live after this happened, I am not staying on a floor the fire department can't get to in an emergency. I think it's crazy to build these tall buildings and risk everyone's life. Even if you had a heart attack on a regular day, it's going to take a lot longer to get to the top than the bottom. I watched this as it happened. I was on the phone with a friend that morning. She had her tv on and I had mine on and neither of us could believe our eyes! It was the most horrible thing anyone could ever witness. I can't imagine having a loved one working in one of those buildings and watching it as it happened. Those poor families . . . how can they ever get over this? I don't know. I've watched it several times over again just to listen to the reaction of the newscasters and for the most part, I think they were also in shock but calm. They reported what they were seeing and did the best anyone could ever do.
Another thing: It took some very brave firefighters and police to go down to try to save people in those buildings. I don't know if I could have done what I saw those people do. I can't imagine knowing you might be walking into a no win situation. Their families and children who were just coming into the world need to know they were very brave and heros for sure!
It must’ve been absolutely awful for the firefighters hearing the people falling to their deaths and then the impact. The World Trade Center movie CLEARLY reenacts that, it it’s SO haunting to hear.
I sometimes wonder what if the South Tower would never have been hit. Plenty of people thought the north tower would survive. Would it have had any chance if it didn't have to deal with the damage from the south tower collapsing? Maybe the collapse of the south tower just pushed the north tower over the edge? If the north tower would still have collapsed but the south tower was never hit, how serious would the damage to the south tower have been and would it have survived in the long term?
They would have done a controlled demolition to it unless the public outcry was big enough where they would’ve rebuilt the north. If the south tower was never hit and stayed up, it would’ve been symbolizing America strength. Ppl probably would’ve wanted the North rebuilt.
@@depressedginger Twin Towers might be coming back. 9/11 museum faced public backlash due to the gift shop, and the museum itself is scheduled to be moved upstate. If the museum does get moved, the footprints would have to be shutdown. Thus the theory, the Towers could get rebuilt.
when the attack happened, I saw people waving white cloths, probably table cloths, out of the top of tower 1, and it never entered my head the buildings would collapse. I assumed they would be a giant scar in the sky for years, the same as happened to a bank building under construction in Philadelphia.
@@terrrell7798The Towers are NOT going to be rebuilt. 1-There's too much available office space in NYC right now. If they add two 110 story buildings, it would cause the commercial RE market to collapse 2-It would be impossible to find financing and insurance for a second Twin Tower project. 3-There's no market for that much office space anymore. When the WTC was built, there was no internet, no computers, no work from home, no Zoom. They were built in an age when people HAD to go into the office. That time is over. Companies just don't need that much office space.
The jet liner fuel when on impact with the tower would've caused an inferno so hot, the heat of that fire would've been off any measurable scale.. if things weren't instantly incinerated or vaporized, the intense heat would've melted anything around it, the metal turning to liquid..the immediate destruction is hard to put into words. So much trauma in such a split second. RIP 💜 to those souls who were so cruelly killed. We will never be able to forget this horror. RIP 💜
“On April of 2013, a piece of the wing flap mechanism from a Boeing 767 was discovered wedged between two buildings at park place, near where other landing gear parts were found. The onboard defibrillator from flight 11 was found in 2014 during roadwork near Liberty Street.”-Wikipedia
One thing that was not happening inside the towers was Larry Silverstein not attending his daily breakfast in the top floor restaurant. Strange that Mr. "Pull it" took a day off.
It's so sad how people still believe the official narrative 22 years later! You can't question this event and anyone who has spoken the truth about what happened has been silenced or killed. Thousands of interviews from bystanders that day just magically scrubbed off the internet. Nothing suspicious about that at all...
Yeah people do not realize you do not need to "melt" metal to make it collapse. When I worked in industrial forging we only had to heat steel up to about 2,000 F to be able to slam it with anywhere around 3 million pounds of force. The weight of the floors above the hit were enough to add a significant amount of force on that more then likely glowing red metal.
NIST, in their final report on the collapse of WTC Buidlings 1 and 2, never addressed the collapse of the North and South Towers. True, they provided a scenario for the initiation of the collapses, which, they say, was caused by sagging floor trusses pulling the exterior columns inward. They granted themselves the benefit of ever doubt in their model, including the complete dislodging of the fire-protecting coating the steel, in order to get the floors to fail in this way. When it came to the complete top-down destruction of the towers, however, they offered us no explanation even to critique: they simply declared it "inevitable". To this day, there is no natural explanation for the destruction of the Twin Towers: no computer simulation; no mathematical equation; no clever experiment. Even NIST's top scientists could not explain it.
Doesn't matter, how did both buildings drop so perfectly? How did the weight of a few floors take out all the floors below, when they hadn't been weaken at all by fire or damage? You really believe that the pieces would just fall off the sides into the streets? People will just accept any kind of explanation. Those buildings had demolition charges placed in specific locations over a few years time and the plane was just a diversion.
@@desertweasel6965 So it fell "perfectly" because weight pushes straight down, not in every direction. You are talking millions of pounds of force pushing down. Try seeing how easy it is to push a wall over.. Not very easy, now try it when it's under load bearing weight. It gets harder to go anyway but straight down. As for the weight of the floors above collapsing the weight below. That's an easy mistake to make. When you build a building you have load bearing walls. Those are meant to hold up the weight. The walls are more stable the nthe floors are. So once part of the floor above, falls below the floors become under so much load bearing weight that they cannot handle. Remember, it's much lighter rebar holding them together then the giant beams in the walls. You say that there were charges detonated but this is also untrue. If there were true they would not have waited an hour to detonate them after the plane hit. They would want to detonate them IMEDIATELY after the plane hit so it looks more like the plane did it. Leaving that big of a gap would not be something anyone trying to use a plane as a distraction would do. Also, as mentioned the jet fuel heated the metal meaning it's tensile strength is greatly deminished. If you wanna do an experiment take a few decks of cards build a card house. Do it 1 layer then push a card.. Notice how easy that card moves. Now build one 5 rows high. Notice the cards at the bottom are much harder to slide around now. The taller it gets the harder it is to push the bottom. This is because of the load the yare under. You can ignore the facts if you want but lets examine your facts for a moment. You claim that it was a demolition. With people inside. That would be illegal first of all. but assuming that they are criminals willing to break the law lets not count this against you. You mention there were charges placed, but you cannot specify what kind of charges, what brand of charges, who put charges there, when exactly the charges were put there and have nothing to offer as to why such a long delay from plane hitting to detonation would occur. It appears as though you are speculating with no evidence, no science, and no proof. You really should take a moment to get your thoughts together before you try spouting conspiracy theories. And if you stand so strong behind them defend why there would be a delay from plane hit, to detonation if the whole point was to pretend the plane itself did all the damage. I will wait while you figure that one out.
@@scriptles the Pentagon planned and carried out the attacks. That's why they had one plane hit the Pentagon as an alibi. Placing the explosives in the building would be very easy as there are always electrical contractors coming in and because there are multiple customers of the electricians, anyone could walk right into the world trade centers with any equipment they wanted and no one would question why you are there. They placed the charges on the core in several different locations. If you don't blow the core apart, the building cannot pancake down. No, first the plane hits, then they let the fires burn, then they drop the building with demolition charges. Funny how they kept finding those fuses that destroy themselves. The red fuses were found in several different locations. Only demolition crews use these fuses.
@@desertweasel6965 The Pentagon is a slightly different story. The government themselves actually mispoke and said bomb, then backtracked and said it was the plane. Showing security camera footage that could neither prove, nor disprove the claims. The Pentagon also was mostly empty where the plane hit. The Pentagon also got hit in the EXACT location where the 9/10 documents were. 9/10 was when Donald Rumpsfield (sorry if I got his name wrong) gave a speech about how while the government was 6 trillion dollars in debt they had no accountability for the governments military spending. The evidence would suggest that 2 planes hit the towers (we saw them on camera) and that the government used the distraction in New York to attack the Pentagon. The reason the evidence showed this is if it were planned to destroy the building you would do so when it is empty. Which is not the case of the towers. We also have video from Osama Bin Laden talking about the attacks on the towers (but not the pentagon). Also keep in mind that the probability that a plane can fly that low to ground to actually hit such a small building as the pentagon would be astronomically hard especially for untrained piolets. We would expect military pilots to barely be able to pull it off but dude who has way less skill probably couldn't pull it off. But in the slim chance that they did actually hit it with a plane that would be impressive flight skills. The 4th plane hit an open field. This is not what you would plan from our government planning to hit something. Consistent with terrorists losing control of the plane. The plane hitting an open field would neither help an inside job from the government, nor terrorists as it accomplished nothing at all to benefit either. You mention "fuses" were found everywhere but failed to realize the important part. When you light a fuse it burns. Finding intact fused would be evidence that they were never lit which would mean there were no charges. You also failed to provide any evidence of such and what you are claiming was also not mentioned in the 9/11 report. The more you talk, the more you prove yourself wrong. Please keep talking.
I remembered footage of one of the fire & rescue units assembling in the lobby of one of the towers. Suddenly, they started hearing loud thumps. One of them asked if it was debris falling & another firefighter stepped near the entrance, where apparently there were skylights or something similar. He came back, his face had gone gray & he just said "They're jumping". Every time a thump sounded, the entire group, every person, visibly flinched. It was a scene that has haunted me since.
I've always wondered about the debris tsunami when the towers fell, and if people were killed by that (other than choking to death)? I heard someone mention in a video that some people were obliterated by the cloud of debris.
Unfortunately, Father Mychal Judge, Chaplain for the NYFD, was standing in the lobby of the North Tower when he was either killed by a cloud of debris blown sideways by the collapse of the South Tower, or a massive heart attack from the noise and oncoming debris.
Strangest thing that day was when the buildings fell the elevator shafts stayed somehow suspended for a few seconds before falling i’ll always remember that and how strange it was
That is just one perspective, that they pulled the building is what we know from watching the fireman body cams. Soon we will know your whole channel is based upon spreading fake info.
I remember seeing the video of the South Tower where Stanley Pramaith saw the plane fly directly into his office on the 81st floor and said the plane wing lodged in his office door.
You briefly touched on communications, so why not a video about the Port Authority Radio Repeater System retrofitted to the towers after the 1993 bombing and the ensuing communications breakdown. What did it look like, how did it work, and why did the FDNY ultimately fail to use this system that could've improved communications and saved some lives on 9/11?
The head of security for Cantor Fitzgerald told his bosses after the original bombings underground that they should move their HQ somewhere else. He knew the WTC was going to be continually targeted. Unfortunately he was right
In regards to the caller who reported floors below him collapsing: Was he a trained witness? Did he actually see the floors collapsing? An untrained witness can misinterpret what they're seeing and give an unintentionally false report. Witnesses to the initial impact of the North Tower reported it as being every kind of plane under the sun, and some just claimed it was just an unprompted explosion. It's not impossible that he misinterpreted what he was hearing/seeing.
It had to be especially brutal for those on floors 92-110 in the north tower being stuck in those conditions for nearly 2 hours and possibly seeing the south tower collapse knowing they'd inevitably be next.
One guy climbed down a broken window from the 92nd floor to a window on the 91st floor. There was an open window on the 91st floor which was directly left of him but unfortunately he didn't know that. He tried kicking the window in he was at but was unable to break it and he lost his grip and fell all the way down from the 91st floor. He would have made it had he of been at one window left because I think there was 1 stairwell left on 91 and I believe everybody on that floor made it out.

Yes there were people in security telling the workers to go back to work. Rick knew after the 1993 attack, they'd be back to try again and he was prepared. He died doing what he was meant to do and thousands who consider him their angel
@@edreynolds8721
I remember listening to a 911 call and it was after the first building was hit but before the second was hit. A woman in the 2nd building on one of the top floors was reporting the loud blast and the smoke and the 911 operator was telling her that other people have called for the same reason and there are first responders on the way.
The woman in the tower asked if they should make their way to the ground floor and the 911 operator responded with a firm NO and to just remain calm and that no one in her building is in any danger. Boy was she wrong! Minutes later the second building was hit.
I understand that the emergency call center is trained to calm people down and to avoid any kind of mass panic but damn, that woman’s life would have been saved (along with many others, I’m sure) if the folks in that 2nd building had begun to clear out of there and make their way down to the ground as soon as the first plane hit.
At the time though, they didn’t know it was a plane and then when they did find that out they thought it was a private plane accident, a fluke. No one could have ever imagined it was a commercial plane and was done on purpose! 😢😥😞
@@edreynolds8721 right, you basically reiterated what I already said. No one knew what was happening, hence bad advice to stay put.
If my memory serves me correctly, no one above the impact site in the 2nd tower survived which is why I said had they made their way to ground level AS SOON AS THE FIRST PLANE HIT, they may have had a fighting chance at survival.
Of course this is all speculation and I know that in that moment there was a lot of confusion.
If I was in either tower I don't care what anyone told mef I would of just left
The fire fighters faced an impossible job that day. The look on their faces tells it all.
They knew
Those firefighters deserve a lot of admiration for knowing their fate but also knowing it was their duty to rescue as many people out of the building. Chief Peter Hayden said during an interview that every firefighter caried out the order, but he also saw groups of firefighters wishing each other luck indicating they knew their fate. Other firefighters like Orio Palmer, the only firefighter to reach the highest floor and the impact zone were probably unphased and knew it was his duty to get as many people out of the building.
@@sirxavior1583 Well said
Not sure why firefighters were needed.
@strikerbowls791 Those are usually the people that they call on for fires... who else did you think they needed?
I had friends who escaped the South Tower. When the first plane hit the North Tower, Herman Sandler, President of Sandler O'Neill on the 104th floor of the South Tower, saw the plane go in. He immediately went to the transaction floor and told the employees there that it was terrorism and they could leave immediately if they wanted. Of course, the employees were aware of the South tower collision but Sandler had actually watched the plane impact. Many of the employees did leave by one of the stairwells. They were on approximately the 55th floor when the second plane hit their building. Sandler O'Neill lost about half their employees but Herman Sandler's quick thinking probably saved many of those who survived.

If I had been working in either tower and someone said to me to go back to my desk this is my take on that!!!! Once one tower was struck by the jet liner and I was in the other tower and some stupid supervisor say "oh, you are fine come back and sit down at your desk" I would've gotten my coat, purse, and my keys and either rode down the elevator or gone down the stairs and gotten the hell out of there - no job is worth dying for!!!!!
True. But remember, when the first plane hit, people thought it was an accident. Only after the second plane hit, it became clear it was an attack.
Easy to say that but a lot of people don’t want to cause waves and just keep their heads down on a regular basis
That is the sole reason those people died bc they were told to stay
@@stephenhumphrey7935 even if it was an accident instead of an attack (inside job), I would have gone out anyway. The towers were both under danger even after the first attack, if one tower falls sideways on the other, then what?
It is really easy to say that, but seriously - you never know what you would do in any situation. We already know what happened so we have that frame of reference. They, on the other hand, did not know.
I worked for American Express in Ft. Lauderdale during 9/11. Our headquarters was across the street from the WTC in the WFC. Our building was out of commission for a year. And one of our NY employees was struck by a plane wheel when walking to work. She was injured pretty badly and I think 60 Minutes did a segment on her.

Stanley Praimnath who was in the impact zone when the second plane hit noted that he saw a wing lodged in his office door about 20 feet from him after the plane went in. Flames then started to engulf the wing. There is an amateur video on YT where you can hear cracking from within the south tower. The amateur cameraman wanted to leave his apartment because he could hear the creaking. Even while the south tower was being evacuated, a maintenance man said in an interview that he looked out a window as he descended the stairs and said the north tower was already leaning above impact. I forgot where I heard this but there was an account that after one of the planes went in, it sounded like heavy machinery was being moved above; obviously the sound of beams falling, or bending, or floors collapsing.
I know. I saw that video as well. Interesting thing is he knew him & his friend wasn't safe but his friend wanted to keep filming
Yep the structures were compromised greatly from the impact alone
Had they fallen instead of pancaking it could have been worse. I've always wondered if they were built to pancake under failure?

The FBI has video of the disaster that they cannot release due reasons to "evidence in an ongoing investigation or trial" I could imagine they have video from the inside. Images even (confirmed). but some of this material is withheld from release due to family's request. Maybe we will be able to see such things in the next 30-50 years? Who knows.
Those poor people will remain on my mind and in my heart until the day I die.
Interesting. Do you know the name of the video? I know I saw a video (probably the WTC enhanced videos channel) where you can still see someone waving a white object minutes before WTC1 collapsed. As for the camera - it would have been made of mostly plastic and it would have been a tape, which would have melted. No one had hard drive cameras back then.
I also found a video of a woman who was on one of the 80-something floors who saw a helicopter trying to see if they could reach them, and then they backed off. This woman was later rescued by Rick Rescorla and she was able to get down the stairs before the collapse. I think it may have been the National Geographic special that came out last year.
i know the two guys your talking about i seen the video you can clearly see him holding something. i thought it was a phone but , i know in the video you can see something on the screen of what ever he is holding and it does seem like he was speaking and recording what he was seeing below him trying to maybe show his friends and family what he was experiencing im gonna go look and see which video it is in the enhanced WTC VIDS

@@raquelarchuleta6430 Im having a hard time finding it again. And yes It is in enhanced wtc video somewhere.

Im wanting to say it was by the same person who filmed the jumpers crashing down into the stage below. Same video just a different time therein obviously.
If you can find it that would be good. Im trying on and off today but a lot to dig through.
Not BSing you though, this video is real.
It would be interesting to see if anyone from that helicopter that predicted the north tower collapse could be found and interviewed about what they saw. Those floor trusses giving way were the real issue with the floors pancaking like they did. Great video as always.
According to the Nist Report at 10.21 the aviation unit reported that the the North tower is leaning southwest and appears to be buckling in the southwest corner. the photo taken around that time shows a massive fire engulfing that section of the building and the perimeter columns themselves bending inwards
I watched an interview with retired FDNY firefighter Tim Brown. In it he said Rescue 1’s commanding officer had put out a mayday that they had become trapped in a localised collapse above the 80th floor. With all the confusion and problems with the radio’s I wonder if this information ever made it down to the chief’s at the command posts.
@@Lilgoth89 The Nist Report is a sham and has been scientifically ripped apart.
@@Lilgoth89the collapse did actually intiate at that southwest corner you can see in a few angles. The corner buckles, and over a few seconds it spreads to the entire floor and then the entire impact zone falls with it. It’s hard to see because in most angles it’s obscured by the dust of the south tower.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the accounts of Frank DeMartini. He was the Construction Manager at the World Trade Center, and was responsible for the evacuations of many floors close to the impact site in the North Tower. He reported via radio channel B when the express elevators were in danger of collapse, and it's believed he saw something at the same time that indicated a possible impending collapse. He and his colleague Pablo Ortiz lost their lives that day.

RIP to all the victims and to the firefighters and ambulance workers who lost their lives, the NYFD faced thee impossible that day.
I've always wondered how many people just reached the bottom floor or were just walking out of the south and north towers, only to have the collapse kill them. It must have been one of the worst feelings. I assume it was in the hundreds.
There was a guy that worked in the building as some kind of WTC building inspector (I don't remember exactly, as it's been over ten years since I read the book). He got down the stairs and out of the building, but he went back up to help with the rescue efforts and was in there when it collapsed.
@@davidmccann9811 Frank De Martini
Everyone in the lower floors who started down the stairs within twenty minutes of the impact reached safety. The main flood of evacuations was done before the collapses of the towers. Almost all of the people above the zones of impact perished. Only a handful got past the smoke, fire and debris. Between the two buildings, there was only one intact stairwell down past the damage. Aside from the firefighters and other first responders there were maybe two to three dozen people still trying to get mobility impaired people down those endless steps to escape.

About half way through footage of the ABC broadcast, you can see a camera angle of the edge of the south tower. It shows sparking, as if someone is using a blow torch. Then the metal starts liquefying and starts to run from where it originates. When I saw that, I knew it was just a matter of time. Shortly after, within a few minutes, the collapse begins. Anytime i see this coverage, I still find it shocking. I recall Peter Jennings being told the building had just collapsed and he couldn’t grasp what just happened. He kept saying “the top of the building fell?”. The correspondent keeps telling him the entire building was gone. Jennings keeps asking “are you sure?”. The whole event is still hard to believe.
Steel never liquified there, it softened enough, but not liquified, you saw something else
I, too, was in utter disbelief for quite a while as I watched from my TV set in Westchester County. Days later, I still could not grasp that all this happened.
No, Jennings is just an ignorant person

You should do a video of skyscrapers that are very similar in design to the World Trade Center. For example, the Bank of Oklahoma Tower and AON tower were both designed by Minoru Yamasaki, the original designer for the World Trade Center. Both these buildings closely resemble the South Tower, its awesome
And Richmond Federal building
ESPECIALLY the Century Plaza Towers in LA, from one angle they actually resemble the towers.
Also.the tour monparnasse in paris!
also "One M&T Plaza" in Buffalo NY
@@MandyAyong i hope they won't change the original design but it seems like it's unavoidable. it's a wonderful tower and very dystopian looking. there are plans to change the design but i don't like it at all. the tower stands alone amongst normal 8 story buildings and i luv the dark brown steel
After this incident i cant even blame someone for being racist against muslims
This guy is very knowledgeable about 9/11, through watching his videos im learning a lot about what happened on that tragic day, and how the plane's impact affected the structures of the twin towers as im interested in Physics myself.
Fear Allah
I knew of someone second-hand (a colleague of a colleague) who was in the South Tower on the 78th floor when the North was hit. Since he didn't actually work there, he ignored the "return to work" announcements. He started going down via a stairwell. When they got to the second lobby (around 40th), many people were tired and decided it would be OK to take an elevator the rest of the way. The second plane hit just then when he was in the lobby but not yet close to the elevators. That saved him because the jet fuel fireballs went down every elevator shaft that he could see. No one got out of those particular elevators alive. Some elevators continued to function long enough to arrive at the lobby level and open their doors. Everyone who saw it ran in terror for the stairwells.
I wonder if there were pockets in the North Tower above the impact zone that were somehow shielded from the smoke and people stayed alive and unharmed until collapse.
Or they jumped on live TV! I watched it! They were like ants jumping off a fire!!
While 911 calls from people trapped on the upper floors of the North Tower continued right until the collapse the number had greatly diminished in the last 15 or 20 minutes, so most of the people were probably dead by then.
@@jsEMCsquaredi always wondered y they were all black and u couldnt see their face or any facial just all black and burned.. weird
There definitely were pockets above the impact zone where people survived until the collapse. However, I doubt any were smoke or heat free. Wherever survivors held on by that point, you can be assured they were doing so in miserable, barely survivable conditions. Virtually nothing pleasant was going on up there by then!
I watched a documentary that mentioned the reason the towers fell, was because the floors used the architectural design of “tresses”. Tresses are a common design, basically buttress the floors in place. they’re apparently very dangerous for firemen as they have a tendency to come down, hence their training diddy: “never trust tresses”.
So as the fire burned where the planes hit, tresses gave out and the floors began to periodically collapse above and below the impact site. For the firemen, they would have heard a lot of grinding and banging the further up they went. Eventually there wasn’t enough support for the upper part and it came down causing a domino effect.
There’s a video of a 9/11 survivor talking to a class of high schoolers, where he says that he was in the South Tower when the first plane hit, at one point looked out a window, and saw pieces of the airplane still in the North Tower.
Don't die as a disbeliever
The airplane wheels were still stowed for flight; they didn't plan on landing. I doubt any of the tires would have been anywhere closeby for people in the building to see. Stairways to the roof would likely have been locked, especially on the North tower. That's where the TV antennas were, thus would have been a highly restricted area given the proximity to the RF being generated up there.
Another good video with good thoughts. Thanks, again!
They found some landing gear on the ground. I do believe they found a single tire between 2 buildings. They also found 2 engines on the ground.

@@smokeyp7565It might have been the Window cleaner, he was popular with people that worked there and unfortunately he may have been working that day and the scaffolding got knocked off the building.
His name was Roko Camaj and he was in the South Tower on the top floor.
People have already speculated if the scaffolding was still up there could he have lowered himself down even 50 floors to where he or a few people could be rescued.
People have analyzed everything to do with that day like maybe if someone could have picked the lock to the roof.
Edit: It wasn't the window cleaner.
I think you are doing a great service. There are still people who didn’t believe it occurred or people who say it was an inside job, I really appreciate you doing this despite the demonetization because however tragic details of the structure and physics of the collapse can be used for good reasons as well.

Absolutely terrifying thought
One thing that can never be shown or recreated in any way is the almighty NOISE the collapsing tower must've made.
@@castleofaargh2093never thought about that
The south facing side of the North Tower had almost no people seen in the windows due to extreme damage and smoke on that side of the building. There were a few on the east face which could have an angled view of the South Tower but most of them perished before the collapse. The majority of upper floor north tower post-impact survivors were seen on the north and west faces (mostly north west corner which had the least amount of smoke due to wind direction). It's probably more accurate to presume they didnt directly see the south tower fall, rather they certainly heard & felt it then saw the dust clouds that began rolling onto the streets below them. Plus, calls to loved ones outside who fed them the info that the south tower fell got back to them. So yes, they definitely knew the south tower had fallen though they likely were unable to actually witness it cos they were on the opposite facing side. One thing is certain, they almost all instinctively knew their tower would soon be next, hence the wave of jumpers that sadly followed very quickly after Tower 2 fell.

Speaking of controlled demolitions, a lot of people claim that it was an inside job because there were detonations going off as the buildings came down, but those were supposed to happen, every building over a certain height must have explosives added to automatically go off if the building's structure is compromised so they fall straight down instead of sideways. They don't tell the general public about that because people might be scared of going into skyscrapers knowing they were surrounded by high explosives.

@@ll7868 well for starters they don't put explosives in tall buildings. The buildings also didn't fall straight down as the debris field was 15 acres
It sure looked like a controlled demolition to me. Building 7 collapsed in the same manner. I was 21 on 9-11-01. I've always believed it was an inside job. Funny how these buildings couldn't handle the impact, but they found Atta's passport just lying around at the scene. The US government has committed a lot of false flags on its own citizens. This one is likely one of them.
I’m sure the jet fuel was ignited by stuff in the building which is what caused the Explosions…..jet fuel is the strongest fuel on the planet
Just fyi I believe others have mentioned it but the bulk of the north tower's lobby windows were already blown out from the first impact.
There's video of the firefighters just walking right through them on arrival and Chief Pfeifer mentions it upon rolling up to the front door.
Awesome channel 👏
Correct, but not from impact. Jet fuel ran the elevator shafts to floor. A flash explosion blew out the windows. Many victims were scene exiting the elevator burnt. Black soot was also visible.
I’m pretty sure there’s some footage of Tower Two falling out there where, just before it starts collapsing, you can see the external cladding bending inwards before snapping.
there's one or more out there, I'll have to look, but you can see a closeup of the bending, the beams snap back, and down she comes.

As for the explosions seen as the towers were collapsing - remember these towers were not just tall but wide. Each floor was about one acre in area (208ft by 208ft or 43560 sq ft) with 12ft slab to slab between each floor. When the floors began pancaking down at free fall speed it looked to be falling about 10 floors per second at the minimum. Over 500,000 cubic feet of air compressed in less than 0.1 seconds would act like a secondary explosion - and that was for every floor below the impact zone.

6:15 shows three towers and looks like an AI fake
Yeah, I was confused
I thought that the floors collapsing is what initiated the collapse of the building. How would the building have remained standing while floors have already begun to collapse internally? My understanding is that the heat from the fires softened the floor trusses to such a point that they began to sag. The sagging pulled in on the outer columns of the building, which snapped once the tension reached a critical point. This snapping immediately caused the tower to collapse. Could the people inside have been referring to this sagging when they said the floors were collapsing? And how would they be able to tell that the floors beneath them were collapsing in the first place? I'm not trying to be contrairan, I'm genuinely curious.
Good comment. You are correct in your assumptions re the way the building was constructed and the mechanism of collapse in this instance- the beams sagged from the heat and because sagging caused them to not span as far, they slid from their supports.
I would be interested to see if you get an answer.
(I have watched hours of footage of this being built and supervisors discussing it)
Yeah I agree you have it correct i guess the people inside could feel the floors falling apart and given how they were made perhaps only small parts of the floors were collapsing and they could hear the loudness of it crashing down or could of caused the building to sway more
The floor trusses didn’t pull in the external columns - the steel connections weren’t strong enough. Once the floors collapsed they no longer braced the columns, meaning the columns weren’t from being braced every floor to much further apart. After a number of floors collapsed the columns could no longer support themselves and so buckled (you can see this moment on some of the videos where the facade bends).
Aside from the impact zones i would proffer there would be all kinds of isolated partial collapses as well
@@TH-cammessedupmyhandle exactly!
Can you do a video if 9/11 was known by US authorities at the last minutes and what they could've done to stop it once it was in motion, like an interception or something of the like.

Theres pretty good evidence that CIA in particular had information that major US cities would be targeted with hijacked plane attacks.
Oh they knew, they very well knew
This much hard to say for sure. Anyone that may believe it I ask you wheres the proof (that they knew that it would happen that day before it did. and where)?
but it is confirmed information that the Bush administration was warned by CIA spies that terrorists planned to do this with airline flights up to almost a year before it happened. Official word is they were told about plans, they just didnt know the where or the who.

I often wondered this but tbh from the interception perspective it was a catch 22… those airliners were only ever going to be brought down in neighbourhoods, or reach their targets.

One guy that died was the guy who managed the tv antenna at the top of the 1st building that was hit. He would have had access to the roof.

Everyone lived except for that one guy who worked at the top of the WTC and took care of the antenna. I watched other videos where some people said doors that would have been unlocked/ open were jammed shut from the impact of the plane causing the door frame to shift so maybe that prevented people from getting onto the roof even if they had a key that could unlock the door.

South tower had one stairwell that remained intact until collapse because of the angle of the plane but both towers roofs were locked because of the security put in plane after the 1993 bombings so roof evac would have been impossible. People called to try to get roof doors unlocked but remote access was impossible because damage to lines or something like that and nobody around had keys.

According to survivor Joe Dittmar, they were able to see plane fuselage in the North Tower from the 90th floor. A fire door that should have closed was propped open so they were able to enter the 90th floor from the stairwell. Some entered the elevator from there, but Joe continued down the stairwell. They made it to the 72nd floor when their Tower was hit by the 2nd plane at floors 77-83. They made it to floor 35 when they encountered FD/PD coming up. They made it down to the basement mall section and one youngster told them to go to the Northeast part of the mall because it was furthest away from the WTC buildings. They made it 8 blocks outside when the South Tower collapsed. When the attack first happened they had no idea what was going on because they were in an internal area with no windows, they got their first knowledge on that 90th floor and when the 2nd plane hit they thought fuselage had blown up from the other Tower, not realizing it was a second plane strike

I just watched an interview with a survivor of the south tower... The highest floor in the south tower that was occupied was the 105th. He said when they looked over at North tower they could see actually part of a fuselage of the plane in the big black hole, Amongst people being sucked out the window, Lots of papers and other things flying around as well. I think if you were in either tower above where the planes hit, You would just be inundated with smoke and fire. Just wanted to add this.😊

I know you get requests about 9/11. I was just curious but would you or are you planning a video about American Airlines Flight 77: the flight that hit the Pentagon
the collapse of the south tower saved some lives in the north tower. for example, beyond the evacuation orders, the south tower collapse cut off power to the north tower, resulting in the releasing of the locks holding the elevator doors shut tight. After the south tower collapse, people trapped in the elevators on the ground floor of the north tower were finally able to open them and walk out, not having any idea what had gone on in the previous hour.
Interesting observation. Thanks for sharing.
There's only 1 pic I ever seen of a piece of the plane hanging out of the corner of the south tower
Stanley Praimnath, who escaped from the South Tower from above the impact zone, said he saw pieces of Flight 175 in the building
In standley primaths interview in the documentary inside the twin towers the plane hit at an angle and came directly in his office which was i do believe on the 84th floor. He saw the plane's engine stuck in a doorway on his floor. He was the only one on his floor that survived the impact that day.
imagine getting black out drunk the night before and waking up in one of the rooms in the hotel that survived the collapse 😅
The real question should be, do they have a plan to get people out from the top floors if this happens again?
Yes.
Stairwells are better protected by concrete shafts, not WTC drywall, and the stairwells are distributed more around the floorplan instead of all being in one place.

I was already a year old during 9/11, but only found out about it on a news rerun when I was 3. I thought it was live footage and kept asking my mom if the woman on the phone screaming that the floor was "hot" and the people hanging on the windows were going to be saved. I don't remember if I saw footage of the towers collapsing back then, but the people and those brief glimpses of the jumpers really stuck with me. I didn't have a full understanding of death yet but I knew what I was seeing was especially horrific. Years later it all came back and knowing what happened to all those firefighters and first responders just makes it more heartbeaking.
Wherever I go, wherever I live after this happened, I am not staying on a floor the fire department can't get to in an emergency. I think it's crazy to build these tall buildings and risk everyone's life. Even if you had a heart attack on a regular day, it's going to take a lot longer to get to the top than the bottom. I watched this as it happened. I was on the phone with a friend that morning. She had her tv on and I had mine on and neither of us could believe our eyes! It was the most horrible thing anyone could ever witness. I can't imagine having a loved one working in one of those buildings and watching it as it happened. Those poor families . . . how can they ever get over this? I don't know. I've watched it several times over again just to listen to the reaction of the newscasters and for the most part, I think they were also in shock but calm. They reported what they were seeing and did the best anyone could ever do.
Another thing: It took some very brave firefighters and police to go down to try to save people in those buildings. I don't know if I could have done what I saw those people do. I can't imagine knowing you might be walking into a no win situation. Their families and children who were just coming into the world need to know they were very brave and heros for sure!
It must’ve been absolutely awful for the firefighters hearing the people falling to their deaths and then the impact. The World Trade Center movie CLEARLY reenacts that, it it’s SO haunting to hear.
I sometimes wonder what if the South Tower would never have been hit. Plenty of people thought the north tower would survive. Would it have had any chance if it didn't have to deal with the damage from the south tower collapsing? Maybe the collapse of the south tower just pushed the north tower over the edge? If the north tower would still have collapsed but the south tower was never hit, how serious would the damage to the south tower have been and would it have survived in the long term?
They would have done a controlled demolition to it unless the public outcry was big enough where they would’ve rebuilt the north. If the south tower was never hit and stayed up, it would’ve been symbolizing America strength. Ppl probably would’ve wanted the North rebuilt.
@@depressedginger Twin Towers might be coming back. 9/11 museum faced public backlash due to the gift shop, and the museum itself is scheduled to be moved upstate. If the museum does get moved, the footprints would have to be shutdown. Thus the theory, the Towers could get rebuilt.
when the attack happened, I saw people waving white cloths, probably table cloths, out of the top of tower 1, and it never entered my head the buildings would collapse. I assumed they would be a giant scar in the sky for years, the same as happened to a bank building under construction in Philadelphia.
@@terrrell7798The Towers are NOT going to be rebuilt.
1-There's too much available office space in NYC right now. If they add two 110 story buildings, it would cause the commercial RE market to collapse
2-It would be impossible to find financing and insurance for a second Twin Tower project.
3-There's no market for that much office space anymore. When the WTC was built, there was no internet, no computers, no work from home, no Zoom. They were built in an age when people HAD to go into the office. That time is over. Companies just don't need that much office space.
The jet liner fuel when on impact with the tower would've caused an inferno so hot, the heat of that fire would've been off any measurable scale.. if things weren't instantly incinerated or vaporized, the intense heat would've melted anything around it, the metal turning to liquid..the immediate destruction is hard to put into words. So much trauma in such a split second. RIP 💜 to those souls who were so cruelly killed. We will never be able to forget this horror. RIP 💜
Love your videos!!

“On April of 2013, a piece of the wing flap mechanism from a Boeing 767 was discovered wedged between two buildings at park place, near where other landing gear parts were found. The onboard defibrillator from flight 11 was found in 2014 during roadwork near Liberty Street.”-Wikipedia
One thing that was not happening inside the towers was Larry Silverstein not attending his daily breakfast in the top floor restaurant. Strange that Mr. "Pull it" took a day off.
It's so sad how people still believe the official narrative 22 years later! You can't question this event and anyone who has spoken the truth about what happened has been silenced or killed. Thousands of interviews from bystanders that day just magically scrubbed off the internet. Nothing suspicious about that at all...
Yeah people do not realize you do not need to "melt" metal to make it collapse. When I worked in industrial forging we only had to heat steel up to about 2,000 F to be able to slam it with anywhere around 3 million pounds of force. The weight of the floors above the hit were enough to add a significant amount of force on that more then likely glowing red metal.
NIST, in their final report on the collapse of WTC Buidlings 1 and 2, never addressed the collapse of the North and South Towers. True, they provided a scenario for the initiation of the collapses, which, they say, was caused by sagging floor trusses pulling the exterior columns inward. They granted themselves the benefit of ever doubt in their model, including the complete dislodging of the fire-protecting coating the steel, in order to get the floors to fail in this way. When it came to the complete top-down destruction of the towers, however, they offered us no explanation even to critique: they simply declared it "inevitable".
To this day, there is no natural explanation for the destruction of the Twin Towers: no computer simulation; no mathematical equation; no clever experiment. Even NIST's top scientists could not explain it.
Doesn't matter, how did both buildings drop so perfectly? How did the weight of a few floors take out all the floors below, when they hadn't been weaken at all by fire or damage? You really believe that the pieces would just fall off the sides into the streets? People will just accept any kind of explanation. Those buildings had demolition charges placed in specific locations over a few years time and the plane was just a diversion.
@@desertweasel6965 So it fell "perfectly" because weight pushes straight down, not in every direction. You are talking millions of pounds of force pushing down. Try seeing how easy it is to push a wall over.. Not very easy, now try it when it's under load bearing weight. It gets harder to go anyway but straight down.
As for the weight of the floors above collapsing the weight below. That's an easy mistake to make. When you build a building you have load bearing walls. Those are meant to hold up the weight. The walls are more stable the nthe floors are. So once part of the floor above, falls below the floors become under so much load bearing weight that they cannot handle. Remember, it's much lighter rebar holding them together then the giant beams in the walls.
You say that there were charges detonated but this is also untrue. If there were true they would not have waited an hour to detonate them after the plane hit. They would want to detonate them IMEDIATELY after the plane hit so it looks more like the plane did it. Leaving that big of a gap would not be something anyone trying to use a plane as a distraction would do.
Also, as mentioned the jet fuel heated the metal meaning it's tensile strength is greatly deminished.
If you wanna do an experiment take a few decks of cards build a card house. Do it 1 layer then push a card.. Notice how easy that card moves. Now build one 5 rows high. Notice the cards at the bottom are much harder to slide around now. The taller it gets the harder it is to push the bottom. This is because of the load the yare under.
You can ignore the facts if you want but lets examine your facts for a moment.
You claim that it was a demolition. With people inside. That would be illegal first of all. but assuming that they are criminals willing to break the law lets not count this against you.
You mention there were charges placed, but you cannot specify what kind of charges, what brand of charges, who put charges there, when exactly the charges were put there and have nothing to offer as to why such a long delay from plane hitting to detonation would occur.
It appears as though you are speculating with no evidence, no science, and no proof. You really should take a moment to get your thoughts together before you try spouting conspiracy theories. And if you stand so strong behind them defend why there would be a delay from plane hit, to detonation if the whole point was to pretend the plane itself did all the damage. I will wait while you figure that one out.
@@scriptles the Pentagon planned and carried out the attacks. That's why they had one plane hit the Pentagon as an alibi. Placing the explosives in the building would be very easy as there are always electrical contractors coming in and because there are multiple customers of the electricians, anyone could walk right into the world trade centers with any equipment they wanted and no one would question why you are there. They placed the charges on the core in several different locations. If you don't blow the core apart, the building cannot pancake down.
No, first the plane hits, then they let the fires burn, then they drop the building with demolition charges. Funny how they kept finding those fuses that destroy themselves. The red fuses were found in several different locations. Only demolition crews use these fuses.
@@desertweasel6965 The Pentagon is a slightly different story.
The government themselves actually mispoke and said bomb, then backtracked and said it was the plane. Showing security camera footage that could neither prove, nor disprove the claims.
The Pentagon also was mostly empty where the plane hit.
The Pentagon also got hit in the EXACT location where the 9/10 documents were. 9/10 was when Donald Rumpsfield (sorry if I got his name wrong) gave a speech about how while the government was 6 trillion dollars in debt they had no accountability for the governments military spending.
The evidence would suggest that 2 planes hit the towers (we saw them on camera) and that the government used the distraction in New York to attack the Pentagon.
The reason the evidence showed this is if it were planned to destroy the building you would do so when it is empty. Which is not the case of the towers. We also have video from Osama Bin Laden talking about the attacks on the towers (but not the pentagon).
Also keep in mind that the probability that a plane can fly that low to ground to actually hit such a small building as the pentagon would be astronomically hard especially for untrained piolets. We would expect military pilots to barely be able to pull it off but dude who has way less skill probably couldn't pull it off. But in the slim chance that they did actually hit it with a plane that would be impressive flight skills.
The 4th plane hit an open field. This is not what you would plan from our government planning to hit something. Consistent with terrorists losing control of the plane. The plane hitting an open field would neither help an inside job from the government, nor terrorists as it accomplished nothing at all to benefit either.
You mention "fuses" were found everywhere but failed to realize the important part. When you light a fuse it burns. Finding intact fused would be evidence that they were never lit which would mean there were no charges. You also failed to provide any evidence of such and what you are claiming was also not mentioned in the 9/11 report.
The more you talk, the more you prove yourself wrong. Please keep talking.
I've been obsessed with the twins Tower since I watched United 93 ages ago LOL

I remembered footage of one of the fire & rescue units assembling in the lobby of one of the towers. Suddenly, they started hearing loud thumps. One of them asked if it was debris falling & another firefighter stepped near the entrance, where apparently there were skylights or something similar. He came back, his face had gone gray & he just said "They're jumping". Every time a thump sounded, the entire group, every person, visibly flinched. It was a scene that has haunted me since.
I've always wondered about the debris tsunami when the towers fell, and if people were killed by that (other than choking to death)? I heard someone mention in a video that some people were obliterated by the cloud of debris.
Unfortunately, Father Mychal Judge, Chaplain for the NYFD, was standing in the lobby of the North Tower when he was either killed by a cloud of debris blown sideways by the collapse of the South Tower, or a massive heart attack from the noise and oncoming debris.

Strangest thing that day was when the buildings fell the elevator shafts stayed somehow suspended for a few seconds before falling i’ll always remember that and how strange it was
It isn't strange, it's the strongest part of any tall building, the building itself is made around the core of elevator shafts.
That is just one perspective, that they pulled the building is what we know from watching the fireman body cams.
Soon we will know your whole channel is based upon spreading fake info.
I remember seeing the video of the South Tower where Stanley Pramaith saw the plane fly directly into his office on the 81st floor and said the plane wing lodged in his office door.
You briefly touched on communications, so why not a video about the Port Authority Radio Repeater System retrofitted to the towers after the 1993 bombing and the ensuing communications breakdown. What did it look like, how did it work, and why did the FDNY ultimately fail to use this system that could've improved communications and saved some lives on 9/11?
Nobody was prepared for this kind of situation.
The head of security for Cantor Fitzgerald told his bosses after the original bombings underground that they should move their HQ somewhere else. He knew the WTC was going to be continually targeted. Unfortunately he was right
such beautiful buildings. The new tower does not compare.
Never listen to others when it comes to your well being. Doesnt matter whos at fault when your dead.
In regards to the caller who reported floors below him collapsing: Was he a trained witness? Did he actually see the floors collapsing? An untrained witness can misinterpret what they're seeing and give an unintentionally false report. Witnesses to the initial impact of the North Tower reported it as being every kind of plane under the sun, and some just claimed it was just an unprompted explosion. It's not impossible that he misinterpreted what he was hearing/seeing.
