Encyclopedia
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
by Al-Qaeda
resulted in 2,996 immediate (attack time) deaths, including the 19 hijackers and 2,977 victims. 372 foreign national
s (excluding the 19 perpetrators) perished in the attacks, representing just over 12% of the total. The immediate deaths include 246 victims on the four planes (from which there were no survivors), 2,606 in New York City
in the World Trade Center
and on the ground, and 125 at the Pentagon
. About 292 people were killed at street level by burning debris and falling bodies of those who had jumped from the World Trade Center's windows. All the deaths in the attacks were civilians except for 55 military personnel killed at the Pentagon. Some immediate victims were not added to the list until years later.
More than 90 countries lost citizens in the attacks on the World Trade Center. The foreign countries with the highest losses are the United Kingdom
(including the British overseas territory of Bermuda
) with 67, the Dominican Republic
with 47, and India
with 41.
In 2007, the New York City medical examiner's office began to add people to the official death toll who died of illnesses caused by exposure to dust from the site. The first such victim was a woman who had died in February 2002 from a lung condition. In 2009, a man who died in 2008 was added, and in 2011 a man who died in 2010.
estimated that approximately 17,400 civilians were in the World Trade Center
complex at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks
. Turnstile counts from the Port Authority
indicate that the number of people typically in the Twin Towers by 10:30 a.m. was 14,154.
Workers who were in the process of leaving the South Tower after the North Tower had been attacked were told to return to their offices. It was announced over the public address system that the building was secure and that it was safe to return to their offices. Many did return and many lost their lives after the second plane struck.
, the only stairwell which had been left intact after the impact. It is speculated that Stairwell A
in the South Tower was not only intact after the impact of United Airlines Flight 175
, but that it was also passable until the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 AM. Since communication between 911 operators, FDNY
and NYPD
responders was disorganized, most individuals who were trapped were unaware of the passable status of Stairwell A and were instead told to wait for assistance by rescue personnel.
After the collapse of the towers, only 23 survivors who were in or below the towers escaped from the debris, including 15 rescue workers. The last survivor to be removed alive from the WTC collapse debris was removed from the ruins of the North Tower 27 hours after its collapse. The search for survivors did find others who had survived for days under the rubble pile. These people were found with "Life Detector" listening equipment. With this special equipment, their voices could be heard. Rescuers at the surface told them, "If you can hear me, tap on a pipe" and metallic taps were heard in response. But a path through the debris could not be cleared quickly enough to get to them before they succumbed to their injuries. A total of 6,294 people were reported to have been treated in area hospitals for injuries related to the 9/11 attacks in New York City
.
. The NIST report describes the deaths of 104 jumpers, but states that it likely understates the total number. The sight and sound of "one, two, three, four [jumpers], smashing like eggs on the ground" horrified and traumatized firefighter and police witnesses. The jumpers' death certificates, like most other victims', states the cause of death as homicide from "blunt trauma".
Some of the occupants of each tower above its point of impact made their way upward toward the roof in hope of helicopter rescue, only to find the roof access doors locked. Port Authority officers attempted to unlock the doors but control systems would not let them; but in any case, thick smoke and intense heat would have prevented rescue helicopters from landing.
Cantor Fitzgerald L.P.
, an investment bank on the 101st–105th floors of One World Trade Center, lost 658 employees, considerably more than any other employer. Marsh Inc.
, located immediately below Cantor Fitzgerald on floors 93–101 (the location of Flight 11
's impact), lost 295 employees and 63 consultants. Risk Waters
was holding a conference in Windows on the World
at the time, with 81 people in attendance.
John P. O'Neill
was a former assistant director of the FBI
who assisted in the capture of Ramzi Yousef
and was the head of security at the World Trade Center
when he was killed trying to rescue people from the South Tower. An additional 24 people remain listed as missing.
The average age of the dead in New York City was 40. The dead included eight children: five on American 77 ranging in age from 3 to 11, three on United 175 ages 2, 3, and 4. The youngest victim was a 2-1/2 year-old child on Flight 175, the oldest an 82 year-old passenger on Flight 11. In the buildings, the youngest victim was 17 and the oldest was 79.
Timothy Maude
was the highest ranking military official killed at the Pentagon
