Oh, come on... in the first minutes of the attack, somehow it is not understandable that there was a great deal of confusion? In fact, it makes perfect sense that those inside the buildings knew a whole lot less than even we who were watching it on TV.

That some authorities were telling people to stay put and some were telling people to get out is all merely part of the fog of battle. Those folks simply didn't happen to know yet that they were at war.
