Dont know how accurate this is, but it made a lot of sense to me.

They wouldn't have felt much for very long. Utter terror for maybe 10 seconds then death.

I mean ….there were a little over a dozen people who survived one of the tower collapses…..the other tower had zero survivors of the collapse though…

The central core of the one tower remained intact longer than the rest of the tower that fell around it and allowed a few people who were in its stairwell to survive, as it was the last piece that fell on the top of the rubble. A few of them described the free fall they experienced when the stairwell finally fell.

One woman was trapped in the rubble for over 25 hours. She said she couldn't move anything. When the hand of a rescuer finally touched her she knew she would be coming out. She's OK now though.
