Emergency and Relief Information in Wake of Terrorist Attack On U.S. 

The Twin Towers taken from the Retired Fireboat John J. Harvey April 1, 2001(from http://www.nyfd.com/)

The World Trade Center consisted of two 110-story buildings (known as the "Twin Towers") and five smaller buildings. The buildings were light, economical structures designed to keep the wind bracing on the outside surfaces. Architect Minoru Yamasaki studied over a hundred models before adopting the twin tower plan. Plans for a single tower were rejected because the size was cumbersome and impractical. Plans for several towers "looked too much like a housing project," Yamasaki said. The World Trade Center Towers were among the tallest buildings in the world, and contained nine million square feet of office space.

Construction

• Tower One was 1,368 feet (414 meters) tall
• Tower Two was 1,362 feet (412 meters) tall
• The Tower facades were constructed of aluminum and steel lattice
• The Tower floors were prefabricated trussed steel, 33 inches deep
• The Towers used tube construction with closely spaced columns and beams on the outer walls.
• There were no interior columns in the Tower office spaces
• The Towers rested on solid bedrock. The foundations extended more than 70 feet below ground.
• Each tower contained 104 passenger elevators
• Each tower had 21,800 windows.
• About 50,000 people worked in the World Trade Center complex

The number of confirmed dead and those reported missing from the September 11 attacks is more than 5,219. 

**Actual numbers as of December 21, 2001: 2,992

More than 5,100 people are presumed dead a month after the attacks on the World Trade Center, New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said on Thursday. Giuliani said that 4,776 people have been reported missing and 442 confirmed dead. Of those, 384 bodies have been identified. 8,786 more have been treated at hospitals for everything from respiratory difficulties to crushed limbs to severe burns.

Will you help during a time of need?

As we try to comprehend the scope of Tuesday's tragedy, America's
collective thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.

Here's what you can do to help:

American Red Cross needs financial and blood donations. Call your
local Red Cross chapter or 1-800-GIVE-LIFE. The Red Cross web
site has been down periodically due to a large volume of concerned
netizens, but may be accessible at:

http://www.redcross.org

They are currently most in need of types O and RH negative blood.

The Red Cross also has advice posted on their website that can help
people deal with their feelings brought about by the terrorist attack.
Among recommendations for coping:

• Talk about feelings
• Ask for help - strong feelings can last for weeks
• Listen to other people and be kind
• Spend time with family and return to the usual routine
• Look away from graphic news videos
• Reassure children that parents will protect them and take every
  precaution to keep them safe
• Recall other fearful times that did not last forever
• Do something that could help others
