Yeah the jumping is the thing that tripped me out the most on the day of. Just the desperation they must have felt as the heat/smoke approached and they felt they had no other option. Really messed up.

Crazy I went to Mount myself. At the time I was in elementary school (5th grade) in music class when the teacher announced what had happened.

You would never think those 9/11 victims would have an escape plan in place. I always wonder if they had parachutes or something. No other way for them to escape.

Doubt it would have helped much. I think there were a few people that tried to parachute their way out and none of them were successful. Unfortunately, there’s little that can be done to prevent the catastrophic damage to a building caused by the impact of a jumbo jet. However major safety improvements were made. In the new 1-world trade center, they reinforced all paths of egress in like 3’ concrete walls that can withstand the impact of a plane, and also encompassed all major radio communication cabling & and main sprinkler piping in the shaft as well. This way if a similar attack were to happen, more people at and above the impact zones would be able to escape for a longer period of time. They also used impact resistant fire proofing on all of the structural steel, incase a plane were to crash into the building, the steel would remain fireproofed for an extended period of time.
Having said that, I think if a plane were to crash into the tower again & knock out major members of columns and beams, I’m sure the building would inevitably collapse again, but at least now the collapse can be prolonged a few hours and they’ll be able to get everyone out the buildings.

That lady was on the 94th floor and I think the stairwells was blocked from the 92nd floor and up.
I feel like they could've tried breaking through the floor till they got to the 92nd floor and went in the stairwell. I dont think all the floors are made of concrete or a hard material.

I don’t think people in the towers expected the towers to come down. The lady was probably waiting to be rescued if she wasn’t being directly affected by the smoke/heat/flames.
The people affected by the plane crash seemed to be the ones making urgent efforts to escape, not because they thought that a tower collapse was imminent, but because they were burning up and inhaling smoke.

I was in high school.
In the auditorium. Principal said a plane hit a building. Then another plane hit another building.
My feeble little mind couldnt even grasp what had happened.
My dumb *** sitting there with my 4xl shirt and silver plated jewelry thought it was a coincidence of drunk pilots or bad weather.
My biggest concern was where my crush was at in the auditorium.
All that **** over a few ****** with boxcutters

Pre-Covid, this was the only time that there was silence in NY.
I remember how empty the streets looked.

High school senior in Brooklyn at the time. I was use to seeing the towers every morning on my commute to school , taking the L train at Broadway Junction to Canarsie. So to see it in smoke later that morning was a surreal experience.

Teaching high school this day is probably one of the most interesting to me each because as the years go on the students acknowledgement of 9/11 decreases more each year.
I was 5 when it happened but I remember school closing early and us going home that day. My dad works at the shipyard in Newport News, and the whole Hampton Roads was on high alert being such a big military area that close to D.C.

such an unreal day. I was in 6th grade. I had a dentist appointment that morning so I was there when it happened. I just remember everyone in the office just in disbelief. Dentist finished my cleaning and instead of going straight to school my Dad took me back home.
My Dad is a very stoic individual. Dont think I have ever seen him cry/show emotion, but the look on his face when we were home was something I had never seen. I could feel the fear, shock, uncertainty. We were watching the news and I seriously thought it was a movie. I kept asking him like Dad is that really happening right now, in NYC? It was just so unbelievable.
My Dad had to get back to work so he took me to school. There when I came in I had to go straight to the principal's office. They asked me if I had seen what happened on tv and I said yes. The principal made the decision to not make an announcement regarding the attacks and she told me that when I went back to class I couldnt mention it or bring it up to any one. Kids didnt have cellphones like that so I basically was the only student, well at least in my class, that knew. A lot of kids parents started coming to school and picking up their kids so a lot of my classmates were kinda wondering what was up. We went to social studies class and my teacher Mr. Duffy, big historian guy, gets so passionate about history, he was in the classroom and you could tell he had been crying. We didnt do any work that period he just turned on a movie.
Before the final bell rang, the principal went on the intercom and told all students to go directly home, all after school activities were cancelled. Thats when everyone started to realize there was something big going on. I lived about 30 minutes north of Chicago so there was fear that they would target the Sears tower so people were exteremly paranoid. So crazy seeing how life changed forever instantly from that day.
