I learned all of this information in math class today.

2,819 people died that day. Only 39% were identifiable, 1,102 people. Less than half.

Full, the Trade Center could hold 50,000 people. My town contains about 10,000 people, just think about that.

It took about 10 seconds for the top of the building to fall to the ground. It was half a mile tall. Terminal velocity is 120 miles per hour. 

There was 1,500,000 tons of debris. A ton is 2,000 pounds. The average car is 1.75 tons. That’s the same as 857,142 cars. 

Ground Zero burned for 99 days. The amount of jet fuel dumped on the towers could fill an average, round, above-ground swimming pool.

To clean up all the debris, it costed around $600 million dollars. That amount of money would run my school for 30 years. People cleaned up the mess for 261 days, 24 hours a day. 

Over 100 people(closer to 200) jumped from floors 90 and above. Remember terminal velocity? They were falling at 120 mines per hour and it would take less than 10 seconds for them to reach the ground. 
 

NUMBERS DON'T LIE.
