What happened to the Twin Towers Sky Lobby & Elevators?

[@jg2977]

I’m reading the book 102 Minutes and it details how survivors who escaped reported seeing scores of dead bodies in the south tower sky lobby, even detached body parts, and some people who were still alive but badly burnt. A few of the lucky ones had some broken bones due to being knocked over by the force of the impact. Whoever saw that and escaped must have severe PTSD to this day. One of the plane’s wings grazed through part of the 78th floor sky lobby, so much of it was still intact before the building collapsed, but the scene was gruesome.

Does the book accurately mention the so-called “explosions” people heard when being evacuated through the lower concourse for what they really were (jumpers getting obliterated upon impact)? Many of the stupid conspiracy theories that are still bandied about could easily be debunked by the shocking videos of the evacuation that were on KZbin but were since removed…

There was a woman who worked in the South Tower who evacuated the building even though they were telling people in the South Tower to stay put. She said that when she got to the top skylobby in the South Tower to go down, it was packed full of people and then the plane hit the building. She said that when she came to, most of the people in there were dead and those who did survive were badly injured. Firemen eventually got her and the few survivors out. When she was in an ambulance with another injured person, she saw how bad the other person's condition was and demaned that the ambulance go ahead and leave to the hospital instead of waiting for more victims. The ambulance driver eventually listened to her and took off. Right after the ambulance took off, the North Tower began to collapse. If that woman didn't insist on taking the other victim to the hospital, all three of them would have been crushed by the North Tower.

There was also a true story of a 9/11 survivor who worked in one of the highest floors taking an express elevator in the north tower down just as the first plane hit. Apparently the elevator was a few floors away from the ground floor and the impact severed the elevator cables causing the elevator to free fall the rest of the way which knocked out the survivor on impact with the elevator pit. He luckily woke up just 10-15 minutes before the collapse of the tower and was able to escape with no major injuries with him running through the streets as the tower collapsed a few hundred metres behind him.

[@SJR_Media_Group]

Former Boeing Everett where the aircraft were manufactured.... as the planes struck solid structure, aluminum and fuel was vaporized. This blew off fireproofing on columns and other structures. For a brief moment, this resulted in FAB (fuel air bomb) used by military. The fuel quickly ran out of Oxygen and as it continued through building and out other side, the fuel rich and oxygen poor fireballs were observed. Fuel running down elevator shafts also had limited Oxygen to support combustion.

[@drayne3750]

Current building Site Supervisor. The fireproofing removal theory by NIST is not plausible and cannot be verified with actual physical testing. Its conjecture not fact. Furthermore, WTC 7 was not hit by a plane and "collapsed" symmetrically at free fall speed into a neat pile after column 69 "fell of its seat". Clearly impossible with a few localized fires.

[@eaglevision993]

In case of a fire or earthquake, the elevators were designed to go to their lowest serving floor, open the doors and go out of service until reactivated by a key from the fire fighters. This did not work at 9/11. They just stopped. While some might have of course been stopped because the power feed to the MERs above impact were taken out, even in the lower zones the elevators became non functional for some reason even with power still there. The door restrictors were not retrofitted on every elevator. People without the restrictors could open the doors and many found their way out some way. No reported survivors from elevators with door restrictors. Even withour the restrictors, the doors were held close by the motor operating the door, which however could be overpowered by strong people. The restrictors were all mechanical and allowed the cabin door only to open when parallel within 3 inches of a shaft door. The last occupants known to survive escaped in 1 WTC when the collapse of the south tower knocked power off for good and some doors without the restrictors opened due to the motor losing power.

[@eaglevision993]

@@bfa-xi1py At the WTC many elevators were already retrofitted with door restrictors which could not be opened without a special tool from inside. This was to prevent occupants to open the door in a power outage when the motors no longer forced the door closed. It was pure luck to be in an elevator without the door restrictors. Even with the power on, the doors can be pushed open with enough force, but not so on those with door restrictors. To the door to open, it must be within 3 inches of an exit door. This has nothing to do with the motor, which can be overpowered by 1 strong person even when in operation.

[@eaglevision993]

@@bfa-xi1py It is not easy to open the doors when the motor is still powered even without restrictors but it can be done. I don´t know why he did not open them before WTC 2 collapsed and the power was cut. Per his statement, was told not to try to open them through the intercom though.

[@eaglevision993]

@@bfa-xi1py Also, he stated when he opened the door he was in the lobby. So even with door restrictors the elevator must have hit the right spot for the restrictors to release on at floor level. Then, only the motor held the door closed, which stopped when the power was cut after WTC 2 collapsed. As far as I know all express elevators had the restrictors retrofittet by 2001. Only on the local elevators it was a gamble.

[@eaglevision993]

@@bfa-xi1py No the additional restrictors were on the cabin door. The floor doors always have/had restrictors. But the floor doors can be opened easily with a square "key" from outside. The cabin door restrictors cannot be opened from inside, only from the top or when you open the floor doors first. The system is not electrical, it is a mechanical system that basically interlocks both resistors when the cabin comes within a few inches of each serviced floor and releases both doors. This way even the motor cannot open the door when the cabin is not within floor level in case it malfunctions.

[@eaglevision993]

Just FIY, if you look at the top of the elevator door on the floor (not the cabin) you should see a hole where a square or triangle shaped key fits. This is how to open the door manually and override the restrictor. Many elevators also have the same key in the cabin. Some people actually have this key on their keychain just in case, especially those who are familar with elevators or elevator techs.

Why haven't we heard about all the people who were apparently burned? So many witnesses say they saw severely burned people but I've never once heard a survivor with burns talk after the incident, except for Lauren Manning, she apparently got burned in the ground lobby of the north tower, it seems like there was a massive fireball in the north tower lobby after the first plane hit. An IT guy who was in the north tower said he heard the explosion coming closer and closer to him so it sounds like a lot of fuel must have made it into the north tower express elevator that went to the ground floor lobby, it must have flowed down the local elevators from the impact floors, then sloshed down into the express shafts for it to get to the ground lobby.

Notice there is a floor in between the sky lobby and the technical service (mechanical) floors below - Level 43 and 77? "Hidden levels" since it looks like only the service elevators and escalators from the sky lobby connected to that floor. The Jin Mao building in Shanghai was similar - it had 88 floors in two zones - offices from 1 to 50 (51 and 52 were the mech levels) and a Hyatt Regency hotel on floors 54 to 87 and an observation deck on 88. The "sky lobby" was the hotel lobby on 54; there was one elevator that went down just one floor - level 53 was a private banquet room that was rented to wealthy Chinese for special occasions. I rented a room on level 76 which faced the Shanghai Center - It was half again as high as Jin Mao... the next day I visited the observation deck on level 122 of the Shanghai Center and saw the top of Jin Mao so far below. Miss the 1970's when USA built the tallest buildings and added infrastructure. Today we struggle to rebuild a damn bridge or add another Interstate highway let alone build a taller building.

[@Subgunman]

Does the public know that the fireproofing material used on steel structural members was based on the toxic mineral asbestos??? It was a common fireproofing method where asbestos mixture of the mineral and adhesive were sprayed onto the steel as an insulating blanket that was quite effective in a normal fire situation. Much of this material was knocked off of the steel structures in the immediate impact area allowing the metal to have direct contact with the intense fire fed by aircraft fuel. Considering the intensity of this fire even protected steel should have had a shortened protection period. The cherry on the cake came when the structures collapsed releasing all of this asbestos along with other minerals from decorative stones and plastics, glass and mercury from fluorescent lamps used in various ceiling lights came tumbling out of the structures as they were pulverized by the weight of the descending materials in the structures. Many individuals have died from this toxic cloud exposure and unfortunately many more will succumb in the coming years. In controlled demolitions of many "modern" structures time and money are spent removing this fireproofing and lamps plus any other questionable materials before proceeding on a controlled implosion of a structure thus protecting the immediate population.

I can’t even imagine how people felt in the elevators 🛗 when the planes ✈️ hit the twin towers 22 years 2 months ago. It gives me crazy nightmares

[@SASptfsOffical]

Fun fact: the twin towers elevators were made by schindler

[@caroleast9636]

Wrong. The elevators were all built by Otis

[@gisellag9283]

Did anyone survive this attack above the 92th floor?

[@KatAdVictoriam]

No one in the North Tower at or above the impact zone survived. Over one thousand souls perished. 18 (I believe thereabouts) survived from the South tower, at or above the impact zone.

[@lorig4871]

They worked when you pressed the button

[@veronikavaclaviakova6270]

I would never want to work in building like this. Hate elevators.

[@benjohnson8175]

The 78th floor sky lobby in tower two was the one that was decimated. Firefighter oreo palmer made it there.

[@jamesjohnson1050]

A woman who was in that sky lobby actually survived. She said that the sky lobby was packed full of people when the plane hit and she and only a couple of other people survived.

The Twin towers lifts and sky-lobbies were all destroyed when they collapsed.

[@RoseEastyy1]

Ever since l visited the grounds of where they once stood and l just think the evil that went on in these terrorists minds to kill innocent people who had done absolutely nothing to them they were people living their normal lives just like me .

[@tediousmaximus1067]

Each building had 99 elevators (198 in total) and after the collapse of both towers, not one elevator was ever found. How is that possible?

[@spicyzeros2160]

They were pulverized during the collapse of both buildings and I don't need rocket science to explain how two collapsing high rise buildings would destroy almost everything inside them. The elevators became unrecognizable pieces of scrap metal afterwards.

[@tediousmaximus1067]

@@spicyzeros2160 No they did not find anything resembling an elevator. Nothing. 95 % of those buildings turned to dust which is impossible without high-powered explosives.

[@housers89]

Each building weighed more than 250,000 tons! It is absolutely possible most things turned to dust as they collapsed. It's called physics. @@tediousmaximus1067

Destroyed. Obliterated. Gone forever, just like the North towers antenna, or the south towers observation deck and everything else in the tower you have made a video about titling "What Happened to the...?" In regards to the world watching what appeared to be three towers collapse as they literally turned to dust free falling...

There's a movie about people stuck in elevators, with Charlie Sheen and Whoopi Goldberg. Title: 9/11 (2017)

​@@miarigney4099I think because what happened to those towers and the people in it is horrible an unique. The whole situation was like you would never expect. It has a tragic story like the Titanic. But it's much worse.

Yes, we know, there isn't going to be much debris with a controlled crash with that kind of speed.

You can pull up many photos of plane crashes and many of them have very little debris. Were those controlled crashes too?
