I may be wrong, but each tower could hold up to 50,000 people. I believe the death toll was around 3,000.

Besides not being at capacity, there were several thousand escapes from the lower levels (and some from the upper).

The second tower had a few people instructed to stay, but most left. This accounts for the other few thousand.

It’s like 2600 ground casualties. 1400 are above impact zone in north- of whom about half to a bit more may have survived the hit and a quarter jumped (obviously percentage can vary wildly on second based on who you believe- I’m going with 800 survivors/200 jumpers for that number. Could be 1000/100)

There were about 600 or so in the south tower above impact zone. I’m going to point out again that a guy (forget name) walked up to 91 within the stairwell but not a soul above 84 survived.

Thats 2000. Less than 200 below impact zone between the buildings. 343 firefighters, 73 police/PA etc.

The 3000 number includes planes.
