There were 2996 people dead and more than 6,000 injured on 9/11. Everyone who was working in the buildings, on the planes that crashed into the buildings and the hijackers were in great danger of death. There were 246 people on the 4 planes that crashed into the building, and no- one survived on the planes. 2606 people died in the Manhattan towers and 125 at the Pentagon. 55 military personnel were killed at the Pentagon. More than 90% of the people in the towers were higher than where the impact was. There were many more casualties in the north tower because it was struck first. The people in the south tower started evacuating in fear of their lives. HOW MANY CASUALTIES WERE THERE?

Rescue and recovery The local, state, federal and global reaction to the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Centre was unprecedented. The equally unsurpassed events of that day elicited the largest response of local emergency and rescue personnel to assist in the evacuation of the two towers and also contributed to the largest loss of the same personnel when the towers collapsed. After the attacks, the media termed the World Trade Centre site "Ground Zero", while rescue personnel referred to it as "the Pile". In the ensuing recovery and cleanup efforts, personnel related to metalwork and construction professions would descend on the site to offer their services and remained until the site was cleared in May 2002.
