Joan; I guess we all hope your wrong,
One thing that might help is that they had
started the evacuation of the South Tower before
that second plane hit it.
They started evacuating both towers right after
the North Tower got hit, so it's likely less people
were traped above the hit in the second tower
even though it was a lower hit.

Even 20K will be twice what I would have thought,
crap if it's taht bad Bush better not pussy foot around.

>>I would then expect the loss to be more like 35,000 + or - 10%.

It was morning. Port Authority says there were about 20,000 inside. Many were able to evacuate. I think there will be fewer than 10,000 dead. Still huge, but better.
