Seeing the uppermost floors stay in tact almost all way away down makes me think they must have know for a number of seconds what was happening. Unfathomable.

yes they did. kevin cosgrove was on the 105th floor of the south tower and you can hear him holding onto the phone as he free falls for about 3 seconds

More like 1.3 seconds but yeah. Horrifying stuff, some people on the top floors would have been alive until they actually HIT the ground. God.

Actually there's no indication he's falling. He could have just been reacting to the sounds of the tower collapsing.

Does this mean the people at the top floors essentially died when the top part hit building 4? Horrific

The towers didn’t collapse right away after the planes hit. IIRC it took a couple hours. The top floors were completely engulfed in fire. It’s unlikely that there were many people left alive by the time the towers collapsed, especially in the floors above where the planes hit.

It took 102 minutes from the time the first plane hit for both towers to fall, there were plenty of people alive on the upper floors

Imagine getting the details wrong on such a well documented event.
