I hate to speak ill of the dead, but I wouldn't need to call 9-1-1 to realize I'm going to go the stairwells and head down. Especially if I was in the south tower in which I would have taken the elevator and left or taken the stairs.

Have some people become such sheep that they need some authority figure, usually an overpaid bureaucratic moron, to tell them what to do? Is there no instinct in them any longer?

There was plenty of time between the attack on the north tower and the south tower to evacuate the entire south tower. That would have helped 600 or more survive.

I don't need some cop or fireman to tell me what to do. I survived a tornado in downtown Nashville and didn't need them to tell me what to do.

There were 50,000 some odd people in those buildings, not counting those in the other buildings nearby.

That there were ONLY 3,000 lost tells me that a whole lot of people knew the right thing to do. Most of the rest had no choice in the matter.
