      Exactly. Plus I see a lot of young people on here saying they’d done this or that. I was watching it unfold live and was frozen. That second plane struck and all I could say for hours was “what the fuck?” Imagine being there in the middle of pure mayhem. Well, I can’t, but I’m sure the kids that were fucking toddlers, or not even born when this happened are full of good advice.

      @jasonm your spot on mate anyone who was alive well before the attacks didn’t ever think that passenger jets would be hijacked and flown into the WTC. I was 17 on 9/11 and when the first plane hit (watching on the late night news live in Australia) I though what kind of dickhead pilot would fly a Cessna or helicopter into the World Trade Center. Then I thought maybe the pilot had a heart attack or stroke etc. the point being even when the attacks were underway I still had no idea what was going on. Until 9:03 when United 175 crashed into the south tower, then I was like, holy fuck what is going on!!

      jason m. Exactly. Not to mention probably alot of what they were taught WAS because of what happened on Sept 11th. Morons. Remember seeing the 2nd plane crash into the tower at work. I thought it was a replay of the first. And then it clicked pretty quickly what we all were witnessing and experiencing as a nation. Terrorist attack. I remember the '93 attempt attack. Young people can be so damn ignorant and arrogant.

    As much as people don’t think so; this video and training came in handy on 9/11. I’ve watched countless survivors stories. People did exactly what was instructed to do in this video. Even so much as to get handicapped coworkers into their safety chairs. People checked the bathrooms and made sure their floors were cleared. The safety officer for one company died because he stayed behind trying to make sure every last person was evacuated. We may roll our eyes when we have to watch videos like this but the fact is, this video saved a lot of lives that day. Those above the impact zone in the north tower unfortunately didn’t have a chance as the stairways were all cut off by the plane. Rest in peace to everyone who lost their lives on 9/11

      The safety officer was Rick Rescorla, the chief security officer of Morgan Stanley at the South Tower. He was a former soldier who fought in Vietnam and was part of the group ambushed in Ia Drang (which was later made into the movie We Were Soldiers).
      Rescorla knew that the towers were going to be targeted again after the 1993 bombing, possibly by air. He implemented an evacuation plan and trained regularly for it, making sure each Morgan Stanley employee (and their guests) knew what to do in the event of an attack.
      That morning, shortly after the North Tower was hit, Rescorla ordered an evacuation of the 22-floor Morgan Stanley offices, despite PA in the South Tower announcing that the building was secure. He guided employees with his bullhorn, singing songs to keep their morale high. He was last seen going up to make sure everyone was out shortly before the tower collapsed. Because of his actions, both before and during the attacks, only 13 out of the 2,700 employees of Morgan Stanley perished that day. Rick Rescorla was a hero.

    •  5 лет назад +45

      Most of us did ignore it. What we were told is that we needed to go through and out 4 because people were jumping from 1 and there was a lot of aluminum fluttering down and could hurt or kill us. By the time I came out my building had been hit while I was waiting for another elevator so you knew there would be debris from ours as well and plus you could see it from the lobby before we hit the stairs. You're right that authority shouldn't be listened to but it's a personal decision that you have to go with your gut. I recall watching a story about a guy who did go back up and still survived. I left because of '93 and I know it was the right decision.

      @Jack Django The World Trade Center had already been bombed in 1993. That's why I don't understand why they just assumed that the first plane hitting the north tower was probably an accident and didn't evacuate the south tower. It seems like they should have at least considered the possibility that it was another terrorist attack?

    Imagine being a firefighter having to climb those stairs, carrying all that equipment. Rolls of hose, entry tools, spare air tanks, as well as their normal gear up all those flights of stairs. You would have to stop and take a break several times before you even got to where the fire was. By that time, you would be told to evacuate and you would have to go back down all those stairs, already give out from climbing the stairs. Most firefighters that died that day died trying to escape the towers. Rest in peace to the firefighters, police, EMS, and victims of this senseless tragedy.

    Most only think about the people who died in the World Trade Center on 9/11, and of course they should always be in our thoughts. But what few realize is that the vast majority of people for whom it was possible to escape did so.
    Out of the estimated 17,400 people in both towers at the moment Flight 11 hit the North Tower 11 out of 12 or 91.6% lived. And keep in mind that no one in or above the impact zone in the North Tower had the chance to escape because Flight 11 destroyed all three stairwells, and about 200 people were killed or sufficiently injured by Flight 175 in the South Tower's sky lobby as soon as the plane hit.
    The evacuation of the World Trade Center on September 11th was incredibly successful. The vast majority of people who could have escaped did.

Never heard about people who were not actually that close to the building, who were hit by flying debris for example and died in hospital. I think some debris landed on an expressway and almost killed several people. Gotta factor in the deaths from cancer, respiratory illnesses from 9/11 also. Plus related suicides.

Right around the year 2000 quite a few of the emergency procedures were changed due to an equipment update. It pretty much made this video out of date. I know for a fact that this video was not used in tenant training after late 1999. So by the time 9/11 came about even the tenants who saw the video at one time would have watched it two years earlier. I was 26 when I made this video and I owned the video production company Northland Productions. We made fire/life safety videos like this all over the country. Obviously, making this video for the WTC was a feather in our cap. I remember working with the good folks at The Port Authority of NY & NJ the day of filming. They were sure that another terrorist attack was a matter of "when not if." They even mentioned Osama bin Laden by name. I remember our contact from WTC said "we have this place protected like a fortress, but they'll hit us in some way that we either don't know about or can't defend against." No one mentioned airplanes but many people talked about briefcase nukes or missiles fired from boats. I think all of those people we worked with died on 9/11. Ordinary folks. Going to work every day, knowing that some day it would happen. Amazing.

The way the videos were made drilled home the point of evacuating promptly, calmly, and efficiently!

Rick Rescorla immediately got on his bullhorn and ordered the immediate evacuation of his company’s employees from the South Tower the moment he heard the impact of the plane in the North Tower. All of the people from his company made it out. He went back up the stairs to check and make sure everyone was out and that no one was left behind. The South Tower collapsed as he was doing that. He and a friend of his walked around the World Trade Center after the 93 bombing and looked for possible future attack methods. They both pointed up and said the next time the terrorists try, they will come in from the air. He was right on the money. He truly was a hero. He made his company do routine fire drills where they all had to walk down the steps to evacuate the buildings. Senior executives with that company were not too happy about those drills but he didn’t care what they thought. He forced them all to do the drills. He saved their lives that day more than likely. When the port authority came over the PA system and told everyone in the South Tower to remain in the building he said no way. We are evacuating now! Everyone knew exactly what to do and where to go. He cared about the safety of his company’s workers so much that he gave his life trying to ensure they were all out. What a person!

I think sometimes we are so focused on the tragic loss of life that day that we overlook the fact that 10s of thousands of people survived due to the quick and orderly evacuation. Unfortunately the attack was simply un-survivable for those at and above the point of impact, but most of the people below the impact survived thanks to the efficient and relatively calm evacuation process.

    Mr. Boisseau, who had worked as a contract employee for the Port Authority for eight years, sprang into action. With other fire safety directors, he broke the glass of a nursery, pulling several children to safety. That done, he was directed to go to the command post on the ground floor of the South Tower.
    There, he helped direct fleeing office workers and firefighters before the South Tower collapsed, killing him, his wife said. He was 36." - He was last spotted helping Paramedics in the lobby directing them upstairs.

      no one knew it was a terrorist attack when the first attack happened, that's why people in the south tower remained, plus, in the north tower, no one evacuated because around 25000 people worked in each building, so having thousands running down while firefighters are going up?

    • @johnpersechini4951
      @johnpersechini4951 Год назад +11

      Many people did evacuate. The messages were telling people that the damage was contained to the other building and did not tell people to go back. It just advised them that their building was not impacted at the time. Even so most people began to evacuate. Only 618 people died above impact zone vs over 1400 in north tower. Given that the north tower hit was much higher the number would have been much lower if the plane hit as high in the south tower. Also many of those who evacuated tried using the elevators on 78 and were killed on plane impact so of those 618 probably less than 500 chose to remain.

    Ever since I was a kid, I thought that there should be parachutes for everyone that are on higher floors where firetruck ladders couldn't reach especially on skyscrapers.

    They obviously remembered what happened in 1993, and some people died, but they had no idea the scale of 9/11. These drills weren’t any good because there was no planning or way to get people out at the impact zones on 9/11. The smoke rising and the immense heat and blocked stairwells and elevators this was just a disaster waiting to happen.

      There was a guy we helped get out because he was in a wheelchair. A guy went on either side of him, scooped up a leg in one arm and his arm in their other. Third guy was tall and just held the flattened wheelchair above his head. When we got to the bottom they plopped him back in it, told him to hold on, and we all ran for our lives with someone pushing him. Was way faster than this, but would only work with strong enough people there.

    We had similar annual drills in the building as an employee and were assigned specific roles (without the caps)... My department was on the 5th floor, even before 9/11; I always suffered from acrophobia ( fear of heights ) and dredded the prospect of breaking out of the window if the stairwells were blocked but was always assured that firefighters had ladders that could at least reach up to the 5th floor...🚒
