That hour in the stairwell must have been the worst of their lives, not knowing how close the end was, wanting to panic and climb over everyone to get down.When I saw the impact points, they looked to be lower than the 80th floors, which I thought made escape from above that almost impossible.The first crash came in lower than the footage of the burning tower suggests.Did you see that clip of film?It was remarkable.

It looks like the airlines are seriously considering a ban on carry-n luggage. I wonder if this would include laptops and camera bags, too. I hardly ever get to fly, but if I have a chance again I want to take pictures.

They saw people hurt and fires as they walked down the stair. Lots of smoke. They said the walk down was remarkably orderly, very little panic. Once downstairs there were rescue workers directing human traffic. I think that's why so many got out.
