Title: Why Did So Few People Die in 9/11 WTC Attack?

Okay, I know I can do the research but I've been thinking about this for a while and I figure I'd throw the question out to see what kind of quick answers I get (or what directions people point me in).

Ya know - 3000 people is not a lot of people to die in the collapse of two of the largest office towers in the world. I rarely hear people comment on this or actually consider these numbers. Several hundred people died in the 4 planes and and were fire or rescue/security people who had rushed into the scene. That leaves maybe 2500 or so office workers who died. Those buildings hold thousands of people - I don't know what the approximate numbers would be but I wouldn't be surprised if each tower could hold at least 10k on its own.

Sure many thousands of those people evacuated - and they were very fortunate to have the time to do so, but did a lot of people just not SHOW up for work that day? Is there something odd about these numbers?

What do you folks think, or what has your research shown you? I think - intuitively that the numbers on 9/11, if this were a genuine attack - should be MUCH HIGHER.

Because it was like an hour before the buildings actually collapsed?

Maybe it's as simple as that, but I understand that a lot of people didn't evacuate until fairly late and to get down from the top floors would probably take some people quite a long time. I think it would take me an hour to get down myself. Moreover, I wonder how many people were trapped on the upper floors and couldn't get down. The numbers have always seemed so small to me relative to the number of people who must work in both buildings and all the rescue squads/plane victims.

I think as soon as your building is hit by a jetliner, the evacuation order pretty much goes out. It's not like anyone's going to stay in there working on paperwork or anything. I seem to recall that the 2nd building hit (building #2?) started to evacuate shortly after the first one was hit, at least on a company-by-company basis.

I'm all over 911 conspiracy theories, but I just don't see a viable one here.

Hopefully, but I was forwarded one email account of a guy that tried to get co-workers to evacuate out of the second tower after the first was hit, but they stayed behind to watch the action, not concerned.
