SOP was to shelter in place, which was probably the right thing to do in most scenarios. The ones who survived ignored the instructions.

I get the impression that most of these videos were banned from mainstream internet platforms at the time.

The Internet was basically non-existent to the masses as such on 9/11/2001.

The plane hit square, severing all stairwells and filling the top floors with smoke. You were stuck for your last hour and 42 minutes unless you fell or jumped.

Is that really the case? I didn't know that, all the stairwells in a building that large were that close together it took them out?

It was hell on earth above the impact zone in the North Tower. The plane hit square, severing all stairwells and filling the top floors with smoke. You were stuck for your last hour and 42 minutes unless you fell or jumped.

I may have posted this before, but we have a family friend who worked in the Dallas office of Cantor-Fitzgerald. Their NYC office/HQ spanned from the 101st to 105th floors of the north tower. She had just been up there a few weeks before, and the Dallas office (maybe other offices as well) was on a conference call with the NYC office when the plane hit and could hear the panic of the aftermath.

Everyone who came to work in the office that day in NYC died - 658 of its 960 New York based workforce killed or missing.

Cosgrove’s call

Family went to DC 04? (During the sniper time). There was a 9/11 memorial exhibit at one of the museums. Part of it was pay phone style phones on a wall that you could listen to answering machine messages and calls that were recorded for whatever reason from the towers and the planes. That was the most dustiest, onion cutting area I have been in.
