For the record, and of course for those people who INSIST a large number of Jews were not in the WTC towers at the time of the attack, please note the following: quote:
At the time of the attacks, media reports suggested that tens of thousands might have been killed, as on any given day upwards of 100,000 people could be inside the towers. Estimates of the number of people in the Twin Towers when attacked on September 11, 2001 range between 14,000 and 19,000. NIST estimated that approximately 17,400 civilians were in the World Trade Center complex at the time of the September 11, 2001 attacks.[8] Turnstile counts from the Port Authority indicate that the number of people typically in the Twin Towers by 8:45 a.m. was 14,154. source There was no large number of absenteeism on Sept 11, 2001. As long as people keep perpetuating these myths and conspiracy theories, none of those who died will rest. 2,606 in died in the WTC attack. At peak occupancy during the major part of the workday, the total number of people in the WTC could number as high as 50,000 tourists, workers, visitors on business. That number is for PEAK of the day. quote:
“A total of 2,071 occupants of the World Trade Center died on September 11, among the 2,749 victims of the WTC attacks. According to an article in the October 11, 2001, Wall Street Journal, roughly 1,700 people had listed the religion of a person missing in the WTC attacks; approximately 10% were Jewish. A later article, in the September 5, 2002, Jewish Week, states, “based on the list of names, biographical information compiled by The New York Times, and information from records at the Medical Examiner’s Office, there were at least 400 victims either confirmed or strongly believed to be Jewish.” This would be approximately 15% of the total victims of the WTC attacks. A partial list of 390 Cantor Fitzgerald employees who died (out of 658 in the company) lists 49 Jewish memorial services, which is between 12% and 13%.” My research indicates that it is unlikely that American Jews in general were warned beforehand. How Many Jews Died at the World Trade Center on 911?
