A firefighter did make it to the 78th floor of the south tower a few minutes before the collapse. I wonder what he could’ve done in those extra hours if he had it.
The heat and smoke above the impact zone was worse over time, an extra hour anyone would have succumbed to smoke inhalation or the heat with no way to descend, it was a slow death up there for those hanging on the best they can
There was a truck company a floor or two below him. So fire companies were getting there. They could have probably gotten the fires controlled enough to evacuate the floors above. In the north tower would be harder due to the interior collapse of the stairwell. From phone calls to 911 it seems the stairwells were blocked if this is the case the fire department with enough time could have maybe cleared enough of one stairwell to excavate people from above. All they need is to open and hold one stairwell to get people out. If you read the after action report that is what the FD plan was. They knew they couldn’t put out the fires, they figured there was localized interior collapse and thought they had 3-5 hours before the top of one of the towers fell off. They didn’t think a complete collapse would happen especially within the time frame it happened. The name of the game was save as many people as possible then let the fires burn out.
I was thinking that the extra time would’ve allowed for more people to evacuate. The North Tower’s hit being centered wasn’t going change anything but since the South Tower was off center maybe the survivors like Kevin Cosgrove could’ve maybe gotten help or out since I think he was on the side that was over looking the Hotel. But it might’ve just burned him alive and the collapse might’ve been a better outcome than just slowly burning or suffocating to death.
The most chilling phone call was from Kevin Cosgrove. It is on You Tube. He was still on the phone with 9-11 begging for help when the tower collapsed. You can here him scream out as the collapse starts and then the phone line goes dead. He and two other guys were on 105
Yeah worst thing about that video apart from the fact he died, is he knew they were not coming "it doesn't feel like it". He knew the call handlers reassurances were empty. It wasn't their time , this wasn't meant to happen..but ... it did.
One of the most amazing survival stories was from the south tower. His group started going down right away and that staircase was one that was demolished from the impact. So his group went up. He said lots of people in the upper floors were going up, because the smoke was so bad inside the stairwell. They went up to the 80's and his co workers were just sitting on the stairs, even passing out. After about five minutes of sitting there, he decided to go inside the floor and try another stairwell. He picked the one that wasn't demolished and got all the way out. My point being a lot of people made the mistake of going up.
The idiot who gave the grave announcement, to tell people they need not evacuate the tower that got hit later, had a severe misunderstanding of events.
@@daniellim8964 well I think it’s important to remember that until the moment the second plane hit the South Tower, people thought it was just a freak accident with a small plane. The authorities were worried that a mass evacuation of the South Tower would clog up rescue efforts for the North Tower, or worse, evacuees would be hit by falling debris/people. obviously now we know that it would’ve been better to evacuate either way but hindsight is 20/20 and all
Yes Ron difrancesco. He was with Brian Clark. Ron went down with Brian at first to help the voice they heard on the 81st floor which was Stanley prainmath, but just couldn’t take the smoke so he went back up. Eventually as you said his co workers started to pass out and he decided to go back down and thankfully made it out. He is believed to be the last or one of the last people to make it out of the south tower before it collapsed
The conditions where probably very difficult, smart and brave of him to try another stairwelll though, unfortunately many didn't find it. Shame he didn't ask more people to follow him but then he probably though it was broken too.
This situation was tested in the NIST report, which is available in the public domain. They theorised that the fires would most likely burn out relatively quickly and the structural steel would decrease in temperature, regain strength and probably not cause a total collapse. The visible fires in the North Tower were largely gone by the time it collapsed with the exception of floor 92. NIST excerpt; "In WTC 1, if the fires had been allowed to continue past the time of building collapse, complete burnout would have likely occurred within a short time since the fires had already traversed around the entire floor, and most of the combustibles would have already been consumed."
@@laurendifilippo3666You probably wont find much until around 2027. The investigation into Khalid will expire. An extended invesitgation was granted but expires in 2027. This means a LOT of footage, which has seemingly been wiped from the internet, including the infamous “lol superman” will be available to the public.
A video about Edna Cintron the women that was pictured standing on the broken beams in the impact zone of the north tower would be interesting, its crazy to imagine how she must have felt looking down standing right on the edge, waving for help.
@@Bleww6207 i know that and i know about the controversy, there are videos about some topics ginger talks about too, but i just want to hear his opinion about the waving woman or as many are sure Edna Cintron
That skinny part of the tower you talk about possibly not being able to climb pass is the mechanical floor. If the climber made it there, he'd have an open air walkway to climb onto and possibly be able to enter the building and reach a stair case.
@@sodiumvapor13yes, they were like open aired terraces. I used to work in a 40 story tower and our mech floors were very similar. Totally possible to climb into. The ledges were like balconies. 100% possible to enter the floor from the exterior facade.
2:58 about your comment on the sound wave knocking him down, I'd argue it was more the shock wave that got him! You can see the smoke on coming from the north tower puff and warp dramatically the instant that explosion occurred in the south tower. Hell it even caused the fires to flare up a bit! Not only that, shock waves in general tend to travel faster than sound, so it would've won that race to him.
People trapped on the North Tower's upper floors made a large number of 911 and other calls for a while following the impact. By the time the tower finally fell, the calls had almost entirely ceased, evidently because most of the trapped people had already died.
One of the creepiest thing first responders to the Pause nightclub shooting reported was it was basically a chorus of cellphones ringing until the batteries died.
*If I was trapped in that upper area and had no way of surviving, I would have breathed in as much of that acrid, asbestos chemical smoke as possible and did so until I passed out. I'd much rather that than to burn alive or be forced out a window as the people behind were pushing so hard to get to a window to get fresh air. There were no jumpers, those people were pushed out from people behind frantically pushing to get to the window to breathe some fresh air. They clearly didn't jump, they were forced out from desperate people behind trying to breathe. No sane person would jump knowing there's zero chance of survival. They were pushed out from behind 💯%*
The most chilling phone call was from Kevin Cosgrove. It is on You Tube. He was on the phone with 9-11 begging for help when the tower collapsed. You can here him scream out as the collapse starts and then the phone line goes dead. He and two other guys were on 105
I’ve read an article (don’t remember the title) discussing the FDNY on 9/11 and one of the key things that stood out to me was what one firefighter in the article said regarding what happened if the towers stayed up longer. Essentially, and I’m paraphrasing for the most part, the firefighter said that had the towers been standing for several more hours, there would’ve been a few thousand to about 5 thousand firefighters in the towers. Now just imagine the casualties for the FDNY had that been the case and the towers collapsed! (If anyone is familiar with said article, please give a link to it in the comments. Thanks!)
I was thinking after several hours, the fires would run out of material to burn, slowly dying. Then maybe FDNY can put out some of the fire, not necessarily all of it. And FDNY did carry hoses up the stairwells, they would have to connect them to a standpipe below the impact zone to get water on the fires. Also, where the steel beams narrow from three into one is 3-4 floors above the ground, so if someone slid down the columns, they may be able to jump 3-4 floors to the ground (better than 90+, obviously) and make sure to land feet first-a big maybe thou
@@alexlovelock4648 Even if they would connect many hoses up high, I don't think they had strong enough water pumps that would have enough power to pomp up such an immense weight of column of water, let's say to the 80th floor.
If you read the after action report in short they say they couldn’t fight the fires their plan was open and hold one stairwell to get people out then let the fires burn out.
I watched the south tower get hit live on tv. Once the smoke cleared enough to see the impact area and the angle that the plane crashed into it, I had a gut feeling that the top wouldn't stay standing long. It pretty much took out one whole corner and caused extreme damage to the other adjacent corners. The north tower took more of direct impact in the middle. I didn't figure both buildings to completely collapse. A major problem for both though was 70,000 lbs of burning jet fuel that went down the elevator shafts and into the lobby of both buildings. Such a sad day.
70,000 lbs. of jet fuel. A backyard 20 foot diameter swimming pool 5 feet deep. How much of it made it down to the lobby 1000 feet below impact in the elevator shafts? The shafts were offset.
Can you imagine if the man who scaled the North tower actually reached the ground? He’d make millions off of the story, but the survivor’s guilt would have been insane.
@@trickolas78 Think about it, they’d probably make a movie about him, he could write a bestselling book. Wouldn’t you want to get a chance to hear a firsthand account?
Survivor's guilt??! If he'd achieved this, he could legitimately feel like a king for the rest of his life. It would have been one of the biggest exploit ever accomplished by a human....
@@goobi3780 It's useless to say this situation was unreal and beyond catastrophic and desperate. For people above the impact zone in the North tower, there was absolute no chance of survival, except trying this almost impossible descent on the facade. Of course, impossible to take someone on your shoulders while doing this (!) You may feel guilty if you escape by the stairs, hear someone crying for help but give him no rescue because you're too scary for example, when you think you could have perhaps saved someone ; not in this case.
I'm amazed those in north tower top section could not break the door to the roof. it must have been extremely strong, I always think roof access should be made easy in an emergency. If south tower hadn't collapsed so soon I believe a helicopter rescue would have been attempted. They would not have ignored people waving from the rooftop.
To exit my building, you have to press a button on the wall to release the door. You could kick and kick for hours but there is no getting that door open without pressing that button. Same as in the tower. Plus after the '93 bombing, there were fears that a helicopter with explosives could land on the roof so they purposely added obstructions to prevent easy landing.
They evaluated making an attempt and the determination was that between the smoke the updraft from the heat and the down blast from the shopper's rotors that there was to much of an danger of an accident and a chopper hitting the tower could have made the situation significantly worse quicker.
One of the things I thought of many years back was, "how did the collapse of the south tower compromise the north tower?" - by which I mean, the south tower collapse must have been equivalent in force to a small earthquake: how much would that have damaged the foundations of the north tower? I don't mean the north tower would have survived minus that force, but that it MIGHT have delayed that second collapse for a while longer.
They would be a career in motivational speaking for the person who scaled down the outside and survived. They'd get military honors as a civilian if they managed to help anyone else escape like that
More people could have escaped but depending on each tower, if you’re above the impact zone it was near impossible to escape. Especially for the North Tower.
Former Boeing Everett.... Those airplanes were built in our Plant. When the planes hit Twin Towers and Pentagon, they were obliterated into tiny pieces. All had FULL Fuel Loads because they were going across Country to West Coast Cites. As the Fuel mixed with Air, it became explosive and acted like a Thermobaric AFB (Air Fuel Bomb). As the Oxygen was used up, it became Fuel Rich / Oxidizer Lean. The bright fireball exiting far side of Buildings was partially due to this effect. Outside, there was lots of Oxygen and most of Fuel then burned before traveling far. There was still tons of blazing Jet Fuel that went down Elevator Shafts. People floors down were killed or badly burned by this. The Massive Impact and Internal Explosion knocked Insulation off Structural Steel and destroying Fire Sprinkler Systems. As temperatures rose, it caused Steel to lose over half of it's strength. Once Progressive Failure started, there was no stopping resulting in complete collapse.

I wonder too if responders would have eventually progressed from adrenaline-fueled action to high levels of frustration because the communications were so crossed and bad.
They need to have life boats for these sky scrapers. They would stay on top of the building just like life boats and can be lowered with cables down the sides. It would have an operator and these guys would have a job where they simply sit at the top all day. They can operate the boats going down. You could also make a fire extinguishing system where the same type of carts are lowered down the sides, by these carts have fire hoses and a dedicated water source. It could literally stop right in front of the hole and just let loose right into the fire with multiple fire hoses. I also thought about air bags at the bottom, but that would still be lethal. You would hit that thing going so fast. I do believe the life boat idea is pretty good, though. The life boats would also be enclosed to protect you from heat and smoke.
@@FerretKibble elevators are death traps that travel inside the building structure. These would be on the outside with a support post on each corner of the building. One corner post can operate all life boats in case the building is severed with a plane and it takes out 3 corners. The life boats cranes would be attached to independent mounting beams. That travel all the way down. Or, you could make a system of nets at the bottom that come out on large posts so that you could survive a jump from that high. A net is the only thing that can slowly slow you down. Air bags would be just as bad as concrete from those heights.
The problem with central core being damaged is that the stairs would be damaged as well, therefore, even if the towers had stayed standing for three hours, it would have been nearly impossible for the firefighters to reach any survivors from below the impact zones, they would have had to have cone down from the top of the building.
Chief Oreo Palmer had other fire crew just afew floors below him on their way up. They likely would have been able to save many. In the North Tower Fire crews probably would have managed to somehow get into the impact area and could have helped any survivors found. However nobody was going to get to those trapped above the impact floors of the North Tower for many hours let alone 3!
Great video as usual. Thumbs up. Btw i would love a video on Orio Palmer. It is so great and heroic. Although i dont know of there is anough information for an entire video. But it makes me feel so amazed and happy when i hear how many true life heroes this tragedy brought to the surface. But that guy was amazing. Like many others.
An eyewitness from the bottom of the impact zone in the North tower said they looked up and saw the stairwell was completely plugged with debris. I thought the scale or jump but now I imagine several stories of rubble. Would need days to get passed with teams.
Love your 911 videos. I'm happy to see young people CARING and telling the story. I was 10 years old. I remember clearly. I've been fascinated ever since. I watch all the docs every year. Do you know where I can find the photos that weren't meant to be public? The graphic, difficult stuff? Yes I am sure, I've seen similar images. I'm not very competent with the Internet so this may sound stupid, should I get a reddit acct? Can I find the images there?
Allegedly I've heard that right before the south tower fell, NYPD or FDNY personal going up reported people coming down from the higher floors. Some that chose to go up to try and get to the roof had changed there minds and managed to make it down to 20th-30th floors. If only the tower stayed up longer.
What video is there of a man climbing down “10-20 floors” of the wtc? Ive only ever seen one video and its of the guy with the rope and he barely makes it one floor when he falls. Ive never heard of anyone climbing 10 floors on video on sept 11.
I think more people already moving downward may have survived but it was so chaotic with the police and firefighters not talking to each other and those in both towers either being told to return or to stay in place, I don’t think higher than maybe 200 more people would have survived. It’s easier to look back after all of the scrutiny and guess. But it was complete shock for those living through it. I think you would have needed 5 hours more.
100% disagree on this what if. Regardless of collapse or not, smoke did the most killing after the initial impact. Having the longer window may have potentially saved a couple people, but most wouldnt. But the bigger impact would have been more rescue personnel on scene climbing both towers. With 3 hours, even more firefighters from outside jurisdictions would have made it to assist in rescue. Even if no more entered the building, (although i would think considerably more would have) the amount at the base being killed by the collapse would have been significantly higher.
It’s easy to think 23 years later that things would have worked out differently if the planes had hit at a different floor. That much jet fuel (the hijackers targeted transcontinental flights because of their fuel loads) plus the design of the towers plus the combustible materials, meant the towers were doomed. Maybe a few more people would have escaped, but we will never know.
@@jonathanlandau-litewski7405 It was predicted that over 4,000 would have died if that plot succeeded. Chicago would've been a part of the stage II attack with the bombings on the connecting flights. Apparently at one point during the planning for stage III there were gonna be 8-10 hijacked planes and the Sears Tower likely would've been a target if their original plan had come to fruition.
Have you ever thought about breaking down footage? Especially things like plane impact footage, collapse, and, in my personal opinion the sort of holy grail, lobby footage! If done correctly I think that could be a good tool to educate on the subject of 9/11. Especially if you include stories relating to that footage and point out key details and frames! Though, youtube might throw a fit and kill off your cash flow :/
It still bothers me to this day that these towers collapsed. They should’ve been built stronger. While it’s true that nobody could have predicted what was going to happen, it should have been somewhat obvious that the thin clips used to hold the floor Deirdre’s in place were highly vulnerable to high temperatures and could fail if an entire floor was on fire. It’s doubtful that they ever took into consideration that the fire main, which fed water to the sprinklers, could have been cut, eliminating the sprinklers altogether. Has they encased the cores of these buildings in thick concrete, as well as completely filled in the hollow box beams going up the sides of the two buildings with high strength concrete, they probably would have remained standing. For some reason, making the building lighter in weight was a misguided priority that served no legitimate purpose. A stronger building is always going to be better than a weaker building. You couldn’t give me one of those mega-million dollar condos in those ridiculous skinny buildings.
the only thing which could have prevented these events from happening is if the weather was bad, cloudy, stormy, rainy..they wouldn't have seen the towers....since the aviation system security wasn't yet as strict as it is today.
Can you please tell us what video you watched with a man scaling down? I’ve seen one by WNYW Filmed by Jack T. with a man scaling down the south tower and losing his grip. No towers were falling at this time.
Whatever the scenario, the South Tower was doomed. The debate, and the biggest “if” is whether the north tower could have survived had flight 11 hit several floors above the impact zone.
*The only video I've seen of a guy trying to scale down,gets about half a floor before slipping and plummeting to his death. His slippery work shoes wouldn't have helped him at all. It would have been slippery like he was wearing just socks. I've never ever seen a video where a man scales 1O-2O floors, shimmying down, with his back on one side of wall and feet on the other wall then falls because of the shock of the other tower falling. If he made it 2O floors,he could have got inside one of the open mechanical floors and found a way down below the impact zone. I honestly think you are talking out of your rear about a man scaling down 2O floors, and I seriously doubt any of those office working men would have had the strength to do that,you know how much strength and stamina needed you would need to do that successfully for even 1-2 floors, let alone 1O-2O floors. Impossible, even if your will to live is strong. If it was stone or rock they could shimmy down,it might have been possible,but smooth shiny steel between the windows to try grip with your feet and back with slippery office shoes is impossible. Stop making up stories that never happened.💯%*
What if they never fell, wonder if anyone trapped in the North tower could have survived then? I suppose it would have been impossible that they never fell though considering how the towers where structured.
Yeah i have never seen an estimate of how many people escaped vs, died. That would be interesting to know if someone made this video, at least an estimate.
If you had 3 hours you could have the fire fighters build a bridge from rhe south tower to the north then people could escape that way.... it would be a lot of would and rope but with 3 hours it might be possible to just transfer people
New video, if the wings or half the plane hit the tower and the rest of the debris flew across midtown. Fire everywhere. Or if one of the planes hit the Statue of Liberty
Nice job, as always, man! Something I’ve wondered is, why the Supreme Court building was not targeted. Bin Laden wanted both the Capitol and White House hit, though we’re still not completely sure about which one UA93 was heading for. But how about it? What if Al-Qaeda had six planes that day, one each for the Twin Towers, one for the Pentagon, and one each for all three of the lead buildings of our three branches of government?
Well they wouldn't have known how long the towers would have lasted at the time - there would have been no difference to what was known before 9.59 am that day.
You are really obsessed with the Towers. It's interesting stuff you propose. Are there any aspects of 9/11 that smell fishy to you or are you 100% not buying any of the conspiracy shit?
Do some research instead of depending on the corrupt Government sponsored media. He is trying to open people's minds instead of them being media sheeple.
Según lo que he visto los secuestradores no sabían que las torres iban a caer. De haberlo sabido estrellan los aviones más abajo para que cayeran más pronto.
*If the towers stayed erect for another 3 hours, so many more firefighters and Police would have died because they would have thought the towers aren't falling let's stupidly go in and get to the floor that's impassable,then do nothing. There was no way they were ever going to extinguish those fires. Each floor has an acre of floor space on fire, times that by 2O, and you have 2O acres of raging inferno that was never going to be extinguished or burn out. It had enough materials in the towers to burn for months. Even if they used water bomber aircraft from above, those fires we're never getting put out. I've never understood why they sent so many firefighters in to the towers. It was such a stupid decision and a certain death sentence. They should have known better that even if they got to the impact zone, there was nothing they could do. Absolute stupidity sending those Men in for a certain death sentence.💯%*
That’s easy to say with hindsight but at the time it would have been impossible to know the extent of the fires raging inside. This was an event that had never occurred before in human history!!
I want to know why there were so many pieces of paper blowing all over the ground. I get an office has paperwork but that seems like so much paper. Is it even all just papers? What did the paper work say?
It is a lot! But there were a lot of offices in the buildings too belonging to many different companies. I always assumed it was the result of the initial plane impacts hitting or taking out filing cabinets, printers, scanners, etc and maybe the pressure from the impact (there's a video where people in the basement reported their ears popping when one of the planes hit iirc) shattering windows and sucking the papers outward? But now that you mention it, that is a good question.
It would be possible for helicopters to carry hundreds of climber ropes and throw them to those above the impact zone to climb down with the ropes to the floors below the impact.
""Hey guys. Today, I'm going to talk about what if the Twin Towers were Transformers and they had transformed out of their stationary building configuration, and into their battle bot configuration just as the planes were approaching. Would the buildings still get destroyed, or Could the Transformers have possibly maybe caught the planes and eliminated them?""
Maybe, if they'd stayed standing longer, they could've landed helicopters on the roofs & get the doors unlocked to get to any folks still surviving in the upper floors?
The South Tower yes, because originally I think they were supposed to have a helipad on the roof of that one (in flight simulator 98 they even put that one in, the helipads tag was XWTC) but the North Tower.... I don't know, the antenna might have been a problem.
the reason why the only footage of the plane hitting the pentagon lookssloppy and the only frame of the aitcraft looks like a missile is because the camera was fisheyed lense if you undistort using fisheye lens distortion then you have a clearer angle of a shape representing a 757
I feel like it would be difficult for an architect to give you that assessment about collapse time. They would have to have detailed knowledge about the damage of all structural components.
@sharronneedles6721 I just think it would be interesting to see how everyone would react in Times Square and how there would be a massive mood shift from a Festive New Years celebration to instant catastrophe. Would be an interesting scenario.
A firefighter did make it to the 78th floor of the south tower a few minutes before the collapse. I wonder what he could’ve done in those extra hours if he had it.
I believe that was Oreo Palmer
The heat and smoke above the impact zone was worse over time, an extra hour anyone would have succumbed to smoke inhalation or the heat with no way to descend, it was a slow death up there for those hanging on the best they can

If it stays up for 3 hours you’re supposed to see a doctor ASAP

Lmfao
Oh my god 😂😂
Wow just straight up like that
Mine wont stay up for 3 seconds so I should also see a doctor.
This situation was tested in the NIST report, which is available in the public domain. They theorised that the fires would most likely burn out relatively quickly and the structural steel would decrease in temperature, regain strength and probably not cause a total collapse. The visible fires in the North Tower were largely gone by the time it collapsed with the exception of floor 92.
NIST excerpt;
"In WTC 1, if the fires had been allowed to continue past the time of building collapse, complete burnout would have likely occurred within a short time since the fires had already traversed around the entire floor, and most of the combustibles would have already been consumed."
So basically it suffocates itself out
Always been grimly fascinated by 9/11 and the horror and heroism of the day. Thanks for these videos.
I have been binge-watching 9/11 jumpers and I cannot sleep anymore. I am traumatized.
I’ve been trying to find some new footage but no luck if you have any tag me please
Its a very traumatizing and damaging experience to see those photos and videos but for some reason I am unable to look away once I see it...
@@laurendifilippo3666You probably wont find much until around 2027. The investigation into Khalid will expire. An extended invesitgation was granted but expires in 2027. This means a LOT of footage, which has seemingly been wiped from the internet, including the infamous “lol superman” will be available to the public.
If you weren't that'd be cause for concern.
Have you seen "Falling Man?"
better go get that ptsd disability check buddy!
A video about Edna Cintron the women that was pictured standing on the broken beams in the impact zone of the north tower would be interesting, its crazy to imagine how she must have felt looking down standing right on the edge, waving for help.
She should just be called "the waving woman", because it isn't confirmed to be Edna Cintron. It could have also been Jeanette LaFond-Menichino.
@@mylife1221no it's Edna
There is a video on UA-cam already about her. It’s called “The Waving Woman”. It’s a good watch.
@@Bleww6207 i know that and i know about the controversy, there are videos about some topics ginger talks about too, but i just want to hear his opinion about the waving woman or as many are sure Edna Cintron
@@posticusmaximus1739 The evidence says it could be otherwise. We shouldn't assume her identity if it's not fully known.
That skinny part of the tower you talk about possibly not being able to climb pass is the mechanical floor. If the climber made it there, he'd have an open air walkway to climb onto and possibly be able to enter the building and reach a stair case.
Were the mech floors really open to the air like that?
@@sodiumvapor13yes, they were like open aired terraces. I used to work in a 40 story tower and our mech floors were very similar. Totally possible to climb into. The ledges were like balconies. 100% possible to enter the floor from the exterior facade.
@@stereohype1 Interesting!
2:58 about your comment on the sound wave knocking him down, I'd argue it was more the shock wave that got him! You can see the smoke on coming from the north tower puff and warp dramatically the instant that explosion occurred in the south tower. Hell it even caused the fires to flare up a bit! Not only that, shock waves in general tend to travel faster than sound, so it would've won that race to him.
It would be like trying hold on during an earthquake. Shaking on ground and the tower.
People trapped on the North Tower's upper floors made a large number of 911 and other calls for a while following the impact. By the time the tower finally fell, the calls had almost entirely ceased, evidently because most of the trapped people had already died.
One of the creepiest thing first responders to the Pause nightclub shooting reported was it was basically a chorus of cellphones ringing until the batteries died.
We like to do these what ifs isolating one factor (the towers staying up despite the same amount of heat and smoke) but
*If I was trapped in that upper area and had no way of surviving, I would have breathed in as much of that acrid, asbestos chemical smoke as possible and did so until I passed out. I'd much rather that than to burn alive or be forced out a window as the people behind were pushing so hard to get to a window to get fresh air. There were no jumpers, those people were pushed out from people behind frantically pushing to get to the window to breathe some fresh air. They clearly didn't jump, they were forced out from desperate people behind trying to breathe. No sane person would jump knowing there's zero chance of survival. They were pushed out from behind 💯%*
Maybe its not because they are died but because what sense to call anymore, everyone 100 percent knew what happened at that moment
The most chilling phone call was from Kevin Cosgrove. It is on You Tube. He was on the phone with 9-11 begging for help when the tower collapsed. You can here him scream out as the collapse starts and then the phone line goes dead. He and two other guys were on 105
I love the enthusiasm and work going into these alternative universe theories that have been going for such a long time now, great story telling
I’ve read an article (don’t remember the title) discussing the FDNY on 9/11 and one of the key things that stood out to me was what one firefighter in the article said regarding what happened if the towers stayed up longer. Essentially, and I’m paraphrasing for the most part, the firefighter said that had the towers been standing for several more hours, there would’ve been a few thousand to about 5 thousand firefighters in the towers. Now just imagine the casualties for the FDNY had that been the case and the towers collapsed! (If anyone is familiar with said article, please give a link to it in the comments. Thanks!)
I was thinking after several hours, the fires would run out of material to burn, slowly dying. Then maybe FDNY can put out some of the fire, not necessarily all of it. And FDNY did carry hoses up the stairwells, they would have to connect them to a standpipe below the impact zone to get water on the fires. Also, where the steel beams narrow from three into one is 3-4 floors above the ground, so if someone slid down the columns, they may be able to jump 3-4 floors to the ground (better than 90+, obviously) and make sure to land feet first-a big maybe thou
@@alexlovelock4648 Even if they would connect many hoses up high, I don't think they had strong enough water pumps that would have enough power to pomp up such an immense weight of column of water, let's say to the 80th floor.
If you read the after action report in short they say they couldn’t fight the fires their plan was open and hold one stairwell to get people out then let the fires burn out.
I watched the south tower get hit live on tv. Once the smoke cleared enough to see the impact area and the angle that the plane crashed into it, I had a gut feeling that the top wouldn't stay standing long. It pretty much took out one whole corner and caused extreme damage to the other adjacent corners. The north tower took more of direct impact in the middle. I didn't figure both buildings to completely collapse. A major problem for both though was 70,000 lbs of burning jet fuel that went down the elevator shafts and into the lobby of both buildings. Such a sad day.
70,000 lbs. of jet fuel. A backyard 20 foot diameter swimming pool 5 feet deep. How much of it made it down to the lobby 1000 feet below impact in the elevator shafts? The shafts were offset.
One of the weirdest channels EVER! That's what makes it Awesome. 🍻 cheers
More and more jumpers would’ve kept falling if the building never came down
Can you imagine if the man who scaled the North tower actually reached the ground? He’d make millions off of the story, but the survivor’s guilt would have been insane.
Whats it to you how much he would profit from it?
@@trickolas78 Think about it, they’d probably make a movie about him, he could write a bestselling book. Wouldn’t you want to get a chance to hear a firsthand account?
Survivor's guilt??! If he'd achieved this, he could legitimately feel like a king for the rest of his life.
It would have been one of the biggest exploit ever accomplished by a human....
@@fitzcaraldozito I mean if all of my friends and colleagues died, and I left them behind I’d feel guilty
@@goobi3780 It's useless to say this situation was unreal and beyond catastrophic and desperate.
For people above the impact zone in the North tower, there was absolute no chance of survival, except trying this almost impossible descent on the facade.
Of course, impossible to take someone on your shoulders while doing this (!)
You may feel guilty if you escape by the stairs, hear someone crying for help but give him no rescue because you're too scary for example, when you think you could have perhaps saved someone ; not in this case.
I'm amazed those in north tower top section could not break the door to the roof. it must have been extremely strong, I always think roof access should be made easy in an emergency. If south tower hadn't collapsed so soon I believe a helicopter rescue would have been attempted. They would not have ignored people waving from the rooftop.
Yeah they attempted to do that, but no one was on the roof and the black smoke was blinding and suffocating, it would have been nearly impossible.
To exit my building, you have to press a button on the wall to release the door. You could kick and kick for hours but there is no getting that door open without pressing that button. Same as in the tower. Plus after the '93 bombing, there were fears that a helicopter with explosives could land on the roof so they purposely added obstructions to prevent easy landing.
They evaluated making an attempt and the determination was that between the smoke the updraft from the heat and the down blast from the shopper's rotors that there was to much of an danger of an accident and a chopper hitting the tower could have made the situation significantly worse quicker.
Video suggestion: What if the planes hit lower on the towers?
Spoiler alert, more people would've died
Follow up question: what if the planes hit higher, 100 - 110th floor. Both towers
@@posticusmaximus1739if it did, then it would stay up longer and have a lesser chance of collapsing.
I heard instead of collapsing, the Towers would have tipped over.
The lower you went they would’ve toppled over not downward.
One of the things I thought of many years back was, "how did the collapse of the south tower compromise the north tower?" - by which I mean, the south tower collapse must have been equivalent in force to a small earthquake: how much would that have damaged the foundations of the north tower? I don't mean the north tower would have survived minus that force, but that it MIGHT have delayed that second collapse for a while longer.
The foundation in that part of the North Tower was surely stronger after its reinforcement. That corner of the tower was targeted in the 1993 bombing.
They would be a career in motivational speaking for the person who scaled down the outside and survived. They'd get military honors as a civilian if they managed to help anyone else escape like that
More people could have escaped but depending on each tower, if you’re above the impact zone it was near impossible to escape. Especially for the North Tower.
So most of the casualties would been in the north tower
Former Boeing Everett.... Those airplanes were built in our Plant. When the planes hit Twin Towers and Pentagon, they were obliterated into tiny pieces. All had FULL Fuel Loads because they were going across Country to West Coast Cites. As the Fuel mixed with Air, it became explosive and acted like a Thermobaric AFB (Air Fuel Bomb).
As the Oxygen was used up, it became Fuel Rich / Oxidizer Lean. The bright fireball exiting far side of Buildings was partially due to this effect. Outside, there was lots of Oxygen and most of Fuel then burned before traveling far. There was still tons of blazing Jet Fuel that went down Elevator Shafts. People floors down were killed or badly burned by this.
The Massive Impact and Internal Explosion knocked Insulation off Structural Steel and destroying Fire Sprinkler Systems. As temperatures rose, it caused Steel to lose over half of it's strength. Once Progressive Failure started, there was no stopping resulting in complete collapse.

I wonder too if responders would have eventually progressed from adrenaline-fueled action to high levels of frustration because the communications were so crossed and bad.
They need to have life boats for these sky scrapers. They would stay on top of the building just like life boats and can be lowered with cables down the sides. It would have an operator and these guys would have a job where they simply sit at the top all day. They can operate the boats going down. You could also make a fire extinguishing system where the same type of carts are lowered down the sides, by these carts have fire hoses and a dedicated water source. It could literally stop right in front of the hole and just let loose right into the fire with multiple fire hoses.
I also thought about air bags at the bottom, but that would still be lethal. You would hit that thing going so fast. I do believe the life boat idea is pretty good, though.
The life boats would also be enclosed to protect you from heat and smoke.
Unfortunately the reasons why elevators cannot be used in a fire likely apply...
@@FerretKibble elevators are death traps that travel inside the building structure. These would be on the outside with a support post on each corner of the building. One corner post can operate all life boats in case the building is severed with a plane and it takes out 3 corners. The life boats cranes would be attached to independent mounting beams. That travel all the way down.
Or, you could make a system of nets at the bottom that come out on large posts so that you could survive a jump from that high. A net is the only thing that can slowly slow you down. Air bags would be just as bad as concrete from those heights.
It's amazing that those towers managed to stay up as long as they did with all the damage
The problem with central core being damaged is that the stairs would be damaged as well, therefore, even if the towers had stayed standing for three hours, it would have been nearly impossible for the firefighters to reach any survivors from below the impact zones, they would have had to have cone down from the top of the building.
Chief Oreo Palmer had other fire crew just afew floors below him on their way up. They likely would have been able to save many. In the North Tower Fire crews probably would have managed to somehow get into the impact area and could have helped any survivors found. However nobody was going to get to those trapped above the impact floors of the North Tower for many hours let alone 3!
Great video as usual. Thumbs up. Btw i would love a video on Orio Palmer. It is so great and heroic. Although i dont know of there is anough information for an entire video. But it makes me feel so amazed and happy when i hear how many true life heroes this tragedy brought to the surface. But that guy was amazing. Like many others.
Unfortunately I’m sure that most of those people had slippery dress shoes on..
An eyewitness from the bottom of the impact zone in the North tower said they looked up and saw the stairwell was completely plugged with debris. I thought the scale or jump but now I imagine several stories of rubble. Would need days to get passed with teams.
Video idea: What if the towers toppled over instead of collapsing
The way the plane hit so far up the building is Impossible for it to topped over
I found the picture he's talking about on Google. The North Tower is still standing with the smoke almost clear from the South Tower collapse.
2:17 Can we have the link to the video?
If that happens, then it will be possible for boms
Please make a video somewhere of the time when only the north tower stood! I have been researching that myself.
There would STILL be some people who remained in the building.
Love your 911 videos. I'm happy to see young people CARING and telling the story. I was 10 years old. I remember clearly. I've been fascinated ever since. I watch all the docs every year. Do you know where I can find the photos that weren't meant to be public? The graphic, difficult stuff? Yes I am sure, I've seen similar images. I'm not very competent with the Internet so this may sound stupid, should I get a reddit acct? Can I find the images there?
With scaling, your muscles would simply give away.
This is wild. You're posting this while I'm stuck in the social media algorithm of 9/11.
Allegedly I've heard that right before the south tower fell, NYPD or FDNY personal going up reported people coming down from the higher floors. Some that chose to go up to try and get to the roof had changed there minds and managed to make it down to 20th-30th floors. If only the tower stayed up longer.
What video is there of a man climbing down “10-20 floors” of the wtc? Ive only ever seen one video and its of the guy with the rope and he barely makes it one floor when he falls. Ive never heard of anyone climbing 10 floors on video on sept 11.
I think more people already moving downward may have survived but it was so chaotic with the police and firefighters not talking to each other and those in both towers either being told to return or to stay in place, I don’t think higher than maybe
200 more people would have survived.
It’s easier to look back after all of the scrutiny and guess. But it was complete shock for those living through it.
I think you would have needed 5 hours more.
100% disagree on this what if. Regardless of collapse or not, smoke did the most killing after the initial impact. Having the longer window may have potentially saved a couple people, but most wouldnt. But the bigger impact would have been more rescue personnel on scene climbing both towers. With 3 hours, even more firefighters from outside jurisdictions would have made it to assist in rescue. Even if no more entered the building, (although i would think considerably more would have) the amount at the base being killed by the collapse would have been significantly higher.
It’s easy to think 23 years later that things would have worked out differently if the planes had hit at a different floor. That much jet fuel (the hijackers targeted transcontinental flights because of their fuel loads) plus the design of the towers plus the combustible materials, meant the towers were doomed. Maybe a few more people would have escaped, but we will never know.
Video suggestion: John O'Neill
Video idea: what if the Sears Tower got hit that day
Have you read about the Bojinka Terrorist Plot?
@@jonathanlandau-litewski7405 It was predicted that over 4,000 would have died if that plot succeeded. Chicago would've been a part of the stage II attack with the bombings on the connecting flights. Apparently at one point during the planning for stage III there were gonna be 8-10 hijacked planes and the Sears Tower likely would've been a target if their original plan had come to fruition.
Have you ever thought about breaking down footage? Especially things like plane impact footage, collapse, and, in my personal opinion the sort of holy grail, lobby footage! If done correctly I think that could be a good tool to educate on the subject of 9/11. Especially if you include stories relating to that footage and point out key details and frames! Though, youtube might throw a fit and kill off your cash flow :/
Yep, the videos would get demonized
It still bothers me to this day that these towers collapsed. They should’ve been built stronger. While it’s true that nobody could have predicted what was going to happen, it should have been somewhat obvious that the thin clips used to hold the floor Deirdre’s in place were highly vulnerable to high temperatures and could fail if an entire floor was on fire. It’s doubtful that they ever took into consideration that the fire main, which fed water to the sprinklers, could have been cut, eliminating the sprinklers altogether. Has they encased the cores of these buildings in thick concrete, as well as completely filled in the hollow box beams going up the sides of the two buildings with high strength concrete, they probably would have remained standing. For some reason, making the building lighter in weight was a misguided priority that served no legitimate purpose. A stronger building is always going to be better than a weaker building. You couldn’t give me one of those mega-million dollar condos in those ridiculous skinny buildings.
the only thing which could have prevented these events from happening is if the weather was bad, cloudy, stormy, rainy..they wouldn't have seen the towers....since the aviation system security wasn't yet as strict as it is today.
What if the planes hit the bottom of the towers instead of the top?
Can you please tell us what video you watched with a man scaling down? I’ve seen one by WNYW Filmed by Jack T. with a man scaling down the south tower and losing his grip. No towers were falling at this time.
What if a giant robot Michael Jackson helped hold them up?
Not sure if he could have done it but Voltron definitely could.
@@South_0f_Heaven_it would have been Vehicle Voltron, cause Lion Voltron is all the way out on Planet Arus. Good idea though.
@@mikegallant811 True but Vehicle Voltron sucked. Lion is much better.
The towers should have a bridge on the higher ones. Then there is a much greater chance of evacuating people.
Whatever the scenario, the South Tower was doomed.
The debate, and the biggest “if” is whether the north tower could have survived had flight 11 hit several floors above the impact zone.
How the hell was there no sprinkler system in there? That’s wild
Question: the earthquake sensors pick up the vibrations of the falls? If Taylor Swift can cause an earthquake....
What if the north tower survived the attacks
*The only video I've seen of a guy trying to scale down,gets about half a floor before slipping and plummeting to his death. His slippery work shoes wouldn't have helped him at all. It would have been slippery like he was wearing just socks. I've never ever seen a video where a man scales 1O-2O floors, shimmying down, with his back on one side of wall and feet on the other wall then falls because of the shock of the other tower falling. If he made it 2O floors,he could have got inside one of the open mechanical floors and found a way down below the impact zone. I honestly think you are talking out of your rear about a man scaling down 2O floors, and I seriously doubt any of those office working men would have had the strength to do that,you know how much strength and stamina needed you would need to do that successfully for even 1-2 floors, let alone 1O-2O floors. Impossible, even if your will to live is strong. If it was stone or rock they could shimmy down,it might have been possible,but smooth shiny steel between the windows to try grip with your feet and back with slippery office shoes is impossible. Stop making up stories that never happened.💯%*
Let alone the friction burn on your hands, impossible given the situation
the cattening
What if they never fell, wonder if anyone trapped in the North tower could have survived then? I suppose it would have been impossible that they never fell though considering how the towers where structured.
How many people were actually able to escape the tower ? And why so much censorship on this event
Yeah i have never seen an estimate of how many people escaped vs, died. That would be interesting to know if someone made this video, at least an estimate.
What if they were made out of concrete?
If you had 3 hours you could have the fire fighters build a bridge from rhe south tower to the north then people could escape that way.... it would be a lot of would and rope but with 3 hours it might be possible to just transfer people

Nice job, as always, man! Something I’ve wondered is, why the Supreme Court building was not targeted. Bin Laden wanted both the Capitol and White House hit, though we’re still not completely sure about which one UA93 was heading for. But how about it?

*If the towers stayed erect for another 3 hours, so many more firefighters and Police would have died because they would have thought the towers aren't falling let's stupidly go in and get to the floor that's impassable,then do nothing. There was no way they were ever going to extinguish those fires. Each floor has an acre of floor space on fire, times that by 2O, and you have 2O acres of raging inferno that was never going to be extinguished or burn out. It had enough materials in the towers to burn for months. Even if they used water bomber aircraft from above, those fires we're never getting put out. I've never understood why they sent so many firefighters in to the towers. It was such a stupid decision and a certain death sentence. They should have known better that even if they got to the impact zone, there was nothing they could do. Absolute stupidity sending those Men in for a certain death sentence.💯%*
That’s easy to say with hindsight but at the time it would have been impossible to know the extent of the fires raging inside. This was an event that had never occurred before in human history!!
I want to know why there were so many pieces of paper blowing all over the ground. I get an office has paperwork but that seems like so much paper. Is it even all just papers? What did the paper work say?
It is a lot! But there were a lot of offices in the buildings too belonging to many different companies. I always assumed it was the result of the initial plane impacts hitting or taking out filing cabinets, printers, scanners, etc and maybe the pressure from the impact (there's a video where people in the basement reported their ears popping when one of the planes hit iirc) shattering windows and sucking the papers outward? But now that you mention it, that is a good question.
It would be possible for helicopters to carry hundreds of climber ropes and throw them to those above the impact zone to climb down with the ropes to the floors below the impact.
