Well, it is possible to write a fairly decent article on the Survivors. These group of people are an important aspect to the tragedy - simply because they survived that day. KyuuA4 07:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
Imagine if there was the full 55,000 people there i think the death toll would be at least 20,000... Americans were lucky, but when will i die!
What was the status of the elevators after the planes hit?
Were they inoperable? Did they have power? Were the shafts damaged?
I heared a report that at least 1 elevator fell to the bottom of the shaft and killed everyone on it after the initial impact. -- 216.52.163.1 18:21, 19 July 2006 (UTC) Luid
The elevators were inoperable after the attack and had no power. A few people escaped but most (about 100-150) died. As for the elevator that fell, I heard that report as well and I think it's true. Thanks Jaranda wat's sup 18:50, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
Article doesn't follow proper quality standards set by Wikipedia (italics, sources, links).
The article provides a list of the fourteen people who survived after WTC1 collapsed while they were still in the tower. Right below, the article mentions that Pasquale Buzzelli and Genelle Guzman McMillan also survived under those circumstances. None of them, however, are on the list of those 14 within-collapse survivors. Also, is Pasquale a man or a woman? Both this article and Pasquale Buzzelli refer to this person as being either gender.-- Hús ö nd 22:36, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
This article does not provide enough detail to be considered an article, right now it is a stub. This needs to be either expanded or merged back into the main article, but there just isnt enough here to stand on its own, esp. not in its current format, which is very disorganized and is clearly incomplete. It dosent list everyone that survived and also contains some (possibly) inaccurate information.
Quote: "Only 14 people escaped from the impact zone (floors 78 to 84) of the South Tower after it was hit (including Stanley Praimnath), and 4 people from floors above it. They escaped down Stairway "A," the only stairwell that had been left intact (though somewhat obstructed with broken drywall, and filled with smoke in one area). No one was able to escape from above the point of impact in the North Tower after it was hit, as all stairways and elevator shafts on those floors were destroyed."
Werent they also plucking people off the roof using helicopters? I thought I heard that. Are these 14 those that got plucked or are the people who got plucked not included? If so, there is more than 14. This needs to be clarified at least or removed, and of course we need cites. -- Shortfuse 01:06, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
The article states this:
There is a documented story of a very similair event occurring during the 1993 WTC bombing. It appeared on a History Channel special documentary in the summer of 2000. Using nothing but the weak light from personal beepers, they cut a hole in the drywall, and climbed out to safety. The ordeal took much longer, however, that the time they would have had in '01. Which leaves this story quite suspect. It is very possible this incident has been mistold and misrepresented as having happened in 2001 when it really happened in '93.

Why is he not included? He startet running during the collapse and survived under a fire engine truck. His report is very famous. 68.210.173.148 17:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Thought I'd say that this is up for deletion, in case someone missed it somehow. Titanium Dragon 00:28, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
