WTC north tower question?

Question

sorry to bring up such a sad subject but i been trying to figure this out for awhile now and cant seem to find anything about it. my question is, why did more people die at the North Tower when the South tower was hit lower? Wouldn't more people be trapped at the south tower? main reason i'm asking this is because it said that only 18 people manage to escape from above the impact zone of the south tower. did most of the employees manage to evacuate before the second plane hit? or was there just less activity going on in the south tower in the first place?

Answer 1

More people evacuated before the 2nd plane hit.

Answer 2

u hav a great mind..

Answer 3

I would guess that many people did evacuate the south tower even though authorities told them there was no cause for concern.  I know if I saw a burning building right next to the one I was in, I wouldn't stick around.

Answer 4

maybe there weren't as many people working in that part of the south tower compared to the north tower.

Answer 5

good question
