One survivor of the South Tower (WTC 2), her name is Florence Jones. She worked for Baseline on the 77th Floor. Her boss asked her to take the escalator up to the 78th Floor and tell their employees up there that they should start evacuating. She did so, and when she came back down to 77 by escalator the second plane struck about a minute and a half later. She would go onto say that, when they entered the smoky stairwell, "I was really shaking because I knew that the people I had just talked to, were all dead."

I imagine the engine survived because much like a car engine, it needs to be a solid chunk of metal to withstand the forces it contains. In regards to your fuel waterfall comment, yes that happened and there are first person accounts of people seeing it thinking it was water but smelling that it was in fact fuel.

[@ir8free]

The starboard engine of UA175 was cushioned from the impact by its casing and did not get lodged within the core lattice of 2WTC; hence, most of the engine (except its front turbine) passed through the impact zone and was ejected from the blast. Still spinning and leaving a trail of white smoke, the smoldering piece flew on a curved trajectory, struck and damaged the edge of a lower rooftop to the NW, and finally landed on the intersection of Church and Murray streets.

[@ChellyBean]

You can actually see it shoot out of the building in most footage of the 2nd impact There's also some footage of it smoldering on the sidewalk too but that's a little rarer to find

Engines survive because they’re very dense compared to a building facade

[@sladwig4094]

Engines weigh about 12,000 lbs. About the size and weight of a RAM 3500 pickup truck. Each floor was 207’ wide x 207’ long. Could park 200 of those trucks ( or jet engines) on each of the 110 floors. Each tower could fit 22,000 jet engines. What could 2 engines do? They were less than 1/1000 of the floor area on the impact floor.

[@j5001bcd]

The plane velocity vectors had a vertical component to them, pointed slightly downward. This helped the impact punch through a few floors, particularly the north tower. The engine turbines and landing gear are the highest density components, which is why they were able to pummel through the entire building and maintain such high velocity across city blocks. Fuselage and wing metal (mostly aluminum) was shredded like confetti. There’s an interesting closeup video of the south tower’s north-east corner burning, where you can see a shard of United grey/blue/red colored fuselage dangling

Some of those heavy pieces of the plane shot right thru each solid steel-reinforced Tower and still landed sev blocks away! The North Tower hung on longer bec less total weight was being supported above the impact floors. My view is even had the fires been minimal, both buildings were already structurally vulnerable to eventual collapse.

La situación de la torre norte ya estaba bajo control y sólo se estaba en el proceso de rescatar a la gente del incendio masivo. La cosa se complicó cuando UA175 impactó. Mientras que American 11 sólo chocó y se estrelló, United 175 se dirigió a más velocidad como si fuera un misíl golpeando más fuerte la torre sur y causando una explosión mayor a la de la torre norte. Sin mencionar que la parte superior de la torre sur estuvo balanceadose por un buen rato después del impacto. La torre norte apesar de su impacto pudo haberse salvado si el incendio se subiera atendido a tiempo. Pero gracias a que se le dejó incendiando una gran porción del núcleo, junto con los daños que su base principal sufrió por el colapso de la torre sur, la torre ya no soportó y sucumbió a caer. Si lo ven bien, el colapso de la sur se debió a que un costado fue brutalmente destruido y el calor debilitó las pocas fuerzas que tenía, mientras que la torre norte se derrumbó porque simplemente ya no soportó más tiempo

[@denelson83]

The combination of the design of the buildings, the impacts of the planes and the resulting fires, caused the buildings to collapse. And you can answer the common refrain of "jet fuel cannot melt steel beams" by saying that the steel beams did not have to melt at all. They just had to heat up and deform to lose their strength.

[@InfamousWolf89]

He said everything around him was destroyed. Had to literaly jump across his broken floor and be caught by his rescuer in I assume the intact stairwell. Another story in the south tower mentions a person opening a stairwell door on one of the impact floors, just as the plane hits. He is splashed with jet fuel and blinded by it and the door slams shut, likely saving his life.

If you examine where Stanley Praimnath's office/cubicle was on the 81st floor, I think it may have actually only been a large piece of the plane's wing that lodged in a door near him. Most of the plane itself impacted further down below him and angled away. The majority of the fiery explosion was directed away from his location and out the far sides of the building. He was a very lucky man that day!

With respect to the fuel waterfall, that's exactly what happened in the first tower to be hit I believe (at least).

[@marianoefraingutierrez640]

Era el bombero, el primero de todos que grabo la primera embestida

[@denelson83]

There was a "fuel waterfall" of sorts in each of the towers upon the impacts of the planes. That fuel ignited on impact and poured down through all of the passages through each floor, including the elevator shafts, all the way down to the ground floor, causing damage on every single floor of the towers below the impacts.

[@whereisthedollar]

Several of the lobby elevators doors were blown open with deceased in the lobby too.

[@cameronbartlett6593]

bullshit. there are no elevators that go straight down to where the bombs were placed by the U.S. military. The fire ball took the path of least resistance on the floors that were opened by the drone aircraft. And then the resistance left the buildings when the thermate was used to bring the thrice towers down.

[@tetornow]

Two things I heard about the "fuel waterfall". One, there were people in those elevators and the fuel was burning when it came down the shafts. Some of those elevators came to the first floor. The people who could walk out of the elevators walked, smelt, and looked like - uh - pick the horror movie with the worst-looking zombies. Two, it rained burning fuel all the way to the ground outside. The lucky ones became charcoal dark mannequins. One person was still sitting in the car. Hand on the steering wheel, arm out of the open driver-side window, head back, and mouth wide open in one last scream. It was another charcoal dark mannequin.

[@cameronbartlett6593]

So the doors of the elevators that went from impact zone to the ground floor were all open and there were no elevator cars in the way at the time of impact? The path of least resistance is out the windows the drones exploded on impact. The people that were cooked on the ground floor and basement were all victims of thermite explosions weakening the foundation support. Hence the molten metal below grade. By the way the elevators produced more resistance to the so called fire ball then the entire thrice towers did in the energy producing collapse.

After Flight 11 hit the North Tower, jet fuel did cascade down at least one elevator shaft and exploded near the lobby. Several people got severe burns.

[@sladwig4094]

Did any of the elevators go all the way from impact floor to the lobby? Read that they were express elevators only and did not go all the way down.

[@therealstephanye]

​​@@sladwig4094that's a good question. The guy from security (his name starts with a V like Vic maybe? There's an interview with him on KZbin from 2011) went in the North Tower in between the two plane impact times and says in the interview that looking at the lobby made him think a fireball had come down the elevator shaft and into the lower lobby. Since he worked there doing security everyday, I feel like his account is good for things like that - so there must have been some continuous elevator shafts that he was talking about. Also, he mentions on the 22nd floor of wtc1 where he went to a security office right before the south tower collapsed, a firefighter had to lead him to the security office in the dark because the doors had been blown off the elevator shaft on that floor and the rubble was tilted toward the empty shaft so slipping and falling the dark 22 stories down the elevator shaft was a real possibility.

Fuel did cascade down the floors, survivors below the impact zone on unaffected floors stated they saw and smelled fuel flowing through the A/C vents and into office rooms ⛽️

[@eh1702]

Yes, in tower 1 about a quarter of the fuel was pumped by the force of impact straight down the shafts and even into the basement level.

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

It could have also been water from burst standpipes and sprinkler systems. The water in those tanks and pipes is notoriously gross, because it's essentially standing water so it looks and smells very different. I think it's totally plausible what was reported was cascading jet fuel - just providing an alternative viewpoint. Though it's worth noting the NIST report concluded that most of the jet fuel in WTC 1 burned up within minutes of impact and most of the jetfuel in WTC 2's impact was jettisoned from the building - creating that noticeably larger fireball.

[@ksp-crafter5907]

The real problem I have is about the physics of the fuel (no, not the meme about steel beams that don't melt😂): In a (now famous) crash test with a F-4 Phantom jet, it was shown what happens to an airplane along with its fuel (in the test it was substituted with water) when it flies into a concrete wall at 500 mph. The jet was atomized, along with the water, which was immediately converted into steam/fog, so there was no more accumulation of liquid water. The 767 that flew into the south tower was even faster than 500 mph at the moment of impact. Almost all of the fuel in a Boeing 767 is inside the (hollow) wings. The perimeter columns of the WTC AND the even more massive core columns, not only cut the wings like a giant egg slicer, but also atomized the fuel in a shock-like manner, aka vaporized it and mixed it with the surrounding air, which then led to the well-known explosion that we could all see. There were no significant quantities of liquid fuel left on the floors. So the big kerosene explosion was more likely just a starter for the fires, which were then fed by the building's interior. We should really abandon the myth of kerosene-flooded floors in 2024!

[@claudioconde9553]

Totally agree. The victims on the lobby level were more likely to have been burned or injured by falling debris or fumes that ignited the elevator shafts

[@DavePocklington]

There is footage filmed by someone who walks up West street, heading to the towers. He comes across the landing gear then films down the street to the tower. There is a car parked on the right side of the road. Its trunk is smashed in and rear window shattered. The only explanation for this is that it was struck by the gear before it carried on up the street to where it came to rest. There is another film which is filmed just after the South tower was hit. An aluminium section from the corner of the tower, has been blasted blocks away, where it hit and killed a pedestrian crossing the street. I have been binge watching footage from the day. The best channel to see this footage is EnhansedWTCVideo on YT.

There was as one fire fighter put it, "a lake of molten metal". I believe he said at the bottom of one of the Towers. There was also molten metal coming out from one floor from one of the sides of one of the Towers.

Thank you for making these videos. I was 10 when 9/11 happened and remember my teacher turning our classroom TV on to news coverage showing the towers with smoke billowing out. As an adult, I’ve been interested in learning more about this awful event. I was very young, and I didn’t live near New York or DC (I’m in Texas), but I do remember a definitive “before” and “after” these attacks. My Uncle was a “Kennedy assassination” aficionado … he had been in middle school when JFK was killed, and actually saw him on his motorcade before the shooting. I kind of liken my 9/11 fascination to my uncle’s JFK assassination fascination.

I'm no expert but I think they chose earlier because less people on the planes, so less resistant from passengers.

there is no mystery, some guys from saudi arabia hijacked planes and flew them into buildings, the modality of the collapse (and the math) has been incredibly well documented as has the nature of the cascade failure - the questions are mostly because people don't want to accept the simple answers, they prefer to imagine more complex ones for 'reasons'.

basically had just the wing hit the building, it would have instantly been torn off and the rest of the plane would have continued and crashed somewhere in manhattan. Damage to the building would have been minimal however there would still be a fire, a lot less fuel and probably the fire suppression system would have likely done a far better job in that case. But we’ll never know that’s just speculation and calculations.

[@abingleyboy]

On most side views of the second plane hitting or from bellow, you see something flying foward from the other side of the tower, as the plane travels into the towers. I often wondered what this was it has like a smoke trailand there are two bits, probably pieces of Airplane like the wheels or something. They of course look small but in reality would be large bits, that look small from the distance and incomparison to the size of the towers. I would like to know, how if the US military could have done something to stop these planes, how and exactly what could they have done. It's all well and good to say shoot a plane down. But a plane flying over a busy city full of buildings, homes, offices Schools etc would possibly have caused more devastation than the towers Sponging up most of the wreckage. I mean two jet planes crashing into the actuall city streets, would probably cause way more death and distruction and be more spread out. As it happened the World Trade center took most of the hit. Only if the Emergency service personell had stayed out of the buildings and not gone inside, there would be less death among them. Unfortunatley those stuck above were doomed and the fire brigades were probably not able to save the vast majority. Once the building fell.

[@martygras378]

But there were thousands of people in those buildings, and the planes could have been shot down over water, causing very few deaths outside of those on the planes.

[@abingleyboy]

@@martygras378 i doubt they could have acted fast enough to shoot the planes down over water. The Millitary probably had no full clue of what was even taking place, also I doubt any one fighter pilot or naval gunner would have permission to just shoot at planes without a chain of command from high ups, and by that time, well, Bang!. Remember that even people stood on the ground or reporting from the air, Did't see what happened when the plane hit and thought bombs inside had blown. Some even thinking the first tower had gone boom again. Also yes thousands died, both in and around the towers, and in the planes, but had two fully fuelled jets smashed into the city it would I imagine kill or injurre far more people on the ground, in buildings, vehicals and more children could have been victim should schools get hit. Also the emergency services will have been working on saving people and putting out numerous fires when the second plane would smash down and create even more chaos. Luckly and unbeknost to the terrorists the planes got eaten by the towers with only minimum wreckage or burning fuel hitting the city streets. The terrorists could have thought that they'd chop off the building from above the planes. Not that the towers would hold for a number of minutes, the towers could even have just tipped over into the city and killed even more as people wouldn't have been able to escape like some did, & it would have been more fast a disaster as the wreckage fell about the city and plane wreckage too. It was both a blessing for some that the towers stayed tall for as long as they did, but for those trapped and the jumpers it was a curse.

[@abingleyboy]

@@anjou6497 yes I was going to say, before the order to down all planes, Shooting planes in the chaotic confusing situation going on could easily end up in the wrong planes being downed and I don't think anyone would want that in their CV accident or not. Also the military were carrying out a practice or demo of some kind and the terror attack came midway through, which also confused the situation, and like you say each millitary division was seperate to eachother and not contacting eachother with information which again confused the situation. Untill the first plane hit the tower I'm sure it was the last thing on anyones mind that suicidal terrorist would fly the planes into the towers. Either way it's easy to look back with all that happened now available to us to to say shoulda, woulda, coulda. The same like just cos you know the way out of your house and what you'd do in a fire, when it happens and you don't know what the hell is going on, you've just woken up, have got others to considder and worry about aswell as smoke and panic all what you thought you'd do is bunk!

[@HotJupiter85]

That would be the engine ejected out of the opposite side of the tower.

[@abingleyboy]

@@HotJupiter85 yeah probably was , a heavy object such as that would be highly probable. I think there were two or even more large but small looking bits in that blast. The whole size of everything, the Towers and the planes and the distance from it, doesn't do justice to just how big the small looking scrapnell or wreckage actually is.

[@Potew]

There are fairly good simulation software available today that I wonder if someone would one day reconstruct at least the part of the building that was hit by the plane. That would make a realistic view of the damage.
