No one has written in 6 years on this. It’s an atrocity that 20 lives, 5 lives or even 1 live couldn’t be saved from a helicopter going to the North Tower. The South Tower may not have been accessible but there was a corner of the North Tower that was.

Those damn doors should’ve remained unlocked and the damn fire department shouldn’t have had a problem with the police rescuing 28 people from the rooftop in the 93 bombing. Who cares if it was spectacular?

New York needs to grow balls and be prepared to rescue people on the high floors of skyscrapers like Los Angeles- otherwise don’t build skyscrapers.

I would’ve definitely gone to the roof if I was on the upper floors.

I’ve wondered if a helicopter could have gotten up to the roof with all of the fire below. Would that mess with air currents over the building? There must be some reason. Otherwise, you would think landing a helicopter on the roof would be the first thing they would try.

Just because you haven't read it doesn't mean it hasn't been written.

Hot air rises. A lot of really, really hot air creates what are called convection currents. a rescue from a target that small at that altitude would be extremely difficult on a perfect day -- throw in convection, and it's nearly impossible.
