Loss of Life:
The death tolls from the planes' impact and the collapse of the Towers is staggering. Flight 11 hits floors 93-99 of the World Trade Center's North Tower, killing all on board and 1,470 people in and around the building. Flight 175 crashes into floors 77-85 of the South Tower, killing everyone on board and 695 people in and around the building. Additionally, 441 first responders are killed at the World Trade Center site. As Flight 77 hits the west facade of the Pentagon, the impact kills all on board and 125 people in the building. It is not known how many people lose their lives after September 11 as a result of exposure to toxins at Ground Zero. |
