Facinating, but difficult to read article. Thinking about those who lived for hours knowing they were trapped and were going to die is hard to take.
I heard a news story the other day about 23 people who survived the attack and the collapse, but were trapped and starved to death.
The horror of that is overwhelming, in fact, this entire thing is more than the human mind can conceive of.
Reading this returns fresh tears, and anger that will never go away. To think that this happened in the United States still boggles the mind.

The buildings were half-empty when the jets struck. USA TODAY estimates 5,000 to 7,000 people were in each tower when the attack began. Earlier estimates ranged from 10,000 to 25,000 per tower. But company head counts show many desks were empty at 8:46 a.m. There were few tourists; the observation deck wasn't scheduled to open until 9:30 a.m.

Did flex time save lives here?

In each tower, 99% of the occupants below the crash survived.

Wow. Shows most of our reporters must be math/statisics-challenged.
That's a pretty amazing stat.
