Diagrams reveal what the inside of the Twin Towers looked like on 9/11

[@MrS98VAC]

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."

[@xXprettyxkittyXx]

According to someone who watched from the other building (before it was hit) she said they were so close that you would watch people walking while covering their face and then just step out of the hole. Obviously, there were a lot of jumpers who chose to go on their own volition, but so many didn’t even realize they were about to step out into their death. There’s a lot of Gen xers, millennials, and even Gen z’s who have gone back to research to understand the event that completely shaped our lives. A comment someone once made that’s stuck with me is “however bad you think 9/11 was, it’s so much worse.” That’s so true because it’s not until you REALLY see the things that were captured that day, outside of a hyper whitewashed political lens, it really is so so so much worse when you find videos where nobody can agree whether what they’re looking at is human remains or debris. I feel so bad for all of the people that witnessed TRUE horrors only to get terminally ill years later. It’s insane.

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

@@SlickBlackCadillac you’re going to have to think a little harder than that buddy. And yes a 767 absolutely can. The twin towers were 95% empty space. The outer perimeter of slats and glass was an easy screen to penetrate at 590 mph. It’s all about momentum, which is mass x velocity, and kinetic energy which is 1/2 mass x velocity^2. Same reason a wood 2x4 can penetrate a stone wall if the wind is strong enough (hurricane or tornado)

To all those who maintain the whole "it was just aluminum up against solid steel" view, look at the huge momentum at work here! 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.

I always remind people to look up pictures of light debris from tornados or hurricanes where things like wooden signs are impaled through solid concrete. Speed will catapult objects you think would shatter right through hardened ones.

[@LNRD_2909]

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]

Stanley Praimnath on the 81st floor south tower, mentions that the wing came slicing through his office and stopped, stuck into a door only 20 ft from him. 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!

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.

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]

[@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.

It's so important to educate everyone what happened on that FATEFUL day and all the lessons we have learned from it and those we have yet to learn as well. Thank you for all your hard work and research please keep these videos coming don't let the people forget. God bless you my friend.

[@scytob]

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'.

[@littlecozettescrew6818]

I don’t anyone who was old enough to remember living through that day has forgotten in the USA..I think if anyone is ambivalent about the event,they must not have been born yet or too young to remember it. The rest of us remember like it was yesterday..

[@ithink3979]

@@littlecozettescrew6818 I remember waking up from a good sleep on a friend's couch and getting some weird feeling to turn on the TV (I never used to watch TV much) only to see every single channel having coverage of the smoking tower on it around 5 minutes before the second impact. I remember shortly after the collapses, the gas stations here with their opportunistic owners jacking up their prices over 4 bucks per gallon on a rumor that gasoline was gonna soon be unaffordable due to eminent martial law, and actually seeing people lined up like stooges blocking the flow of traffic to fill their tanks at 3+ times the cost per gallon back then. All of the owners got heavily fined for it. This brand of behavior was also evident around 2020, except thousands of business owners went completely out of business and many livelihoods were destroyed for basically no good reason after all was said and done. Just a reminder between then and now how people can be severely irrational in a huge disastrous panic.

[@joshwilliams8863]

With respect to the fuel waterfall, that's exactly what happened in the first tower to be hit I believe (at least). There's a documentary about it where a guy with a camera comes in just after impact, and he describes how there were people on fire/were on fire from the burning fuel pouring down the elevator shafts. It had also blown out all the windows on the ground floor.

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.

[@Blackgeekboutique]

​​@@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.

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.

[@anjou6497]

​@@sladwig4094 It was the melting aluminium plane hulls, the jet fuel, the incredible heat...not so hard to imagine.

[@oneevilchef]

Just a reminder: Jet fuel is not like gasoline. Jet fuel does not have the same flashpoint as gasoline, but it is caustic like an acid. While most likely anything close to the engine was on fire due to the engine consuming jet fuel upon entry to the building, most of the reserve fuel is stored in the wings and likely drained down into vents and other seals that could break away due to the jet fuel's caustic nature. Personally, I've been doused in jet fuel during a routine fuel tank inspection, it's not fun, it burns like a sunburn under a heat lamp, and the only cure is 20 minutes of scrubbing with dove soap (nothing else). Also, I'm reminded of an old supervisor that was testing Infrared sensors in the hangar, he filled a bucket full of jet fuel and tossed a lit zippo lighter into it for dramatic effect. The zippo went out (high flash point, remember?), and after scaring the living shit out of nearby officers, noted that the IR sensors were working perfectly.

[@Paulj327C]

And then, you figure, the first in tact floor below the "waterfalls" became a swimming pool of jet fuel and fire.

Great video, DG:) Thanks for the research u do on 9/11/01. I’ve learned a lot more about that tragic day getting to watch your well researched videos on this very important historical topic. Arguably, 9/11/01 is one of the most important days in US history given how it changed our perception that we were untouchable and found out together that we, indeed, are vulnerable to outside foreign terrorist attacks.

[@AnnSmajstrla]

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.

[@eh1702]

Ginger, several videos show a huge piece of flaming debris launching out past tower one from the second impact. (There are several pieces visible pretty much as your diagram shows, but one is enormous.)

[@fuzzydunlop7928]

If you mean the one with the visible smoke trail as it falls, I believe that's the section of the engine that was recovered a few blocks away.

[@denelson83]

There were quite a few visible pieces of flaming debris that shot out from the north side of Tower 2.

One of the pieces was the engine. You can see it go flying farther than the rest of the debris

I don’t think he almost missed the tower. He banked not because he almost missed it but because The fuel is stored in the wings and by banking they can spread the fuel over six floors rather than two or three floors. This is why Atta banked flight 11 as well even though he had a straight in approach

[@EstorilEm]

The engine is incredibly dense and also has a large portion of titanium - another element is the gyroscopic stability, if they were at full power the core would be at around 10,000RPM. This would tend to keep it pointing straight, causing the large frontal / fan damage while keeping everything behind it relatively intact.

[@MarioDiazDelgado]

Are there any witnesses that got to see any of the victims that were in the destroyed floors? I’ve been looking for testimonies for a long time

[@angelof9431]

I have never heard of anyone commenting about the fact that molten aluminum will dissolve steel and that caused or accelerated the collapse of the buildings. There obviously wasn't enough heat to melt steel, but there was more than enough to melt portions of the aluminum airplane.

[@christopherpardell4418]

Basic misunderstanding of structure. The floors were not sagging because of the weight of aircraft debris. The floors were concrete on corrugated steel decking. Held up by trusses that were hung from the exterior columns at one end, and the core at the other end. When the exterior columns were punched in by the impact, and many of the core columns severed, bent or broken, the trusses dropped onto the floors below of their Own weight and the live loads of hundreds of desks, carpeting, phones, office walls, cubicles, computers, chairs etc. The rigidity of the entire tower was from the floor trusses tying the box like core, to the box like exterior columns. Once those connections were severed across several floors there was nothing to prevent the exterior columns from buckling as the fire increased their temperature and lowered their strength. Another point to make is that the molten metal seen dribbling out of the buildings was from the 40 TONS of aluminum from each plane that was shoved into the buildings and shredded. The yellow glow of that molten metal shows it got hotter than the melting point of aluminum. To around 1600 degrees. The fire inside the building was at least that temperature. Not from the burning jet fuel, which mostly burned off in a few minutes, but from the burning in wood, plastics carpeting, and other materials in the offices.

[@thinkingofvenice]

I was at Orange Coast College working on my Airframe & Power Plant certs, and we watched the 2nd plane hit over and over again. The way they were pushing the envelope of it, we were surprised it even made it to the tower… Regarding the engine condition inside the tower, the casing around those motors is incredibly tough. They’re designed these days to contain something like a turbine blade failure so it doesn’t come apart and enter the plane, shredding the cabin and crew... It doesn’t surprise anyone that most of the engine damage would come from ingesting the debris rather than the actual impact and plowing its way through.

[@DPoner]

Yes, the engines are hardened, but they’re also hard mounted to the bottom of the wings, which are giant samurai swords through the building

Rendering DID exist back then (I would know-I crashed a whole uni computer lab trying to 3D render something in the mid-90s) but it was slow, mostly as it was cutting edge so (as evidenced by my own experience) the hardware of the time (processors, graphic cards, etc) were just pushed to the limit.

[@Trex1094]

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.

Yes. Someone replies her name in another comment here. Deborah M (I can't remember the spelling of her last name). She was exiting the north tower, says she heard the south tower impact, looked up and that's all she remembers. Emergency workers at the scene thought she had been impacted by a blade or part of the falling engine as it sliced clear through part of her back and severed part of her. There's a video on KZbin with Deborah being interviewed in the hospital afterwards and talking about the people who saw her laying on the ground and got her to the hospital.

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.

[@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.

1:46 there was a live feed shown on September 11th on CNN that was shown 3 times in a row in the early afternoon and never again (it does not exist anymore and has been scrubbed from the revised so called "live footage" feeds you can rewatch today)... it was looking up from where the tower 2 plane engine landed up into the debris field as the explosion came out of the buildings (the engine landed half a block away flying past the cameraman)... I assume they stopped showing it, because once it was slowed it down, you could see people flying at the camera... in particular there was one dude in a suit that was clearly visible flying at the camera. I'm actually amazed nobody recorded live and reposted it in all these years.
