Talk:1993 World Trade Center bombing

El-Sayyid Nosair

Ina book i read called The Terrorist's Son: A Book of Choice by Zak Ebrahim says his father El-Sayyid Nosair helped plan the attack from prison and it even says he helped on his wikapedia page. Why is he not include in the list of men involved at the beginning? RIleyknight74 (talk) 23:51, 14 May 2015 (UTC)

Can anyone tell if an EMS worker works for a private or the FDNY?

I can't fine a detail of whether the EMS worker works for the FDNY or a private hospital unit? XXzoonamiXX (talk) 08:11, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Death toll on summary is incorrect

The death toll is stated in the facts summary to be "over 4,000" but the body says there were only 6 fatalities. Épargnez le visage (talk) 00:42, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, fixed. It was recent vandalism or confusion. Acroterion (talk) 00:55, 13 September 2016 (UTC)

Capacity?

The article says 50,000 people were evacuated from the buildings, but the NIST report on the later 9/11 attacks estimates an occupancy of only 17,400 on September 11, and states a maximum occupancy of 40,000. Is the 50,000 figure credible? One of the two sources doesn't confirm it and the other is a printed book. Rublov (talk) 04:06, 19 December 2021 (UTC)

Hello Rublov,

The daily population of the towers complex is absolutely credible at 50,000, and more likely was probably higher. The office population itself was in the range of 35,000 to 40,000 every day. Yet, on any given day, there were always business visitors to the various companies that were housed in the WTC, ranging from hundreds to a conservative minimum of 10,000, albeit more. Further, daily tourist traffic, including Observation Deck visitors provided thousands more every day, not to mention the pedestrian hundreds, or thousands, who frequented the WTC Concourse shops and stores throughout the hours of operation. Lastly, one must allow for, or take into account, the tens of thousands who commuted through the facility, granted at various times, but were undeniably part of any active population count of both events of February 26, 1993 and September 11, 2001. 173.54.207.108 (talk) 19:44, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

First Photo isn't from the 1993 WTC bombing it's from the OKC bombing.

Here is an image of the Oklahoma City bombing featuring the same Allied Steel in the same position relative to the building. Link: [1] Compared to the photo in the articleit's clear it's the exact same vehicle and that it's not a photo of the 1993 WTC bombing.

This part is speculation, but the second image on the same page (FBI — FBI 100 - 1993 Trade Center Bombing) doesn't seem to be from the 1993 WTC bombing either because the size and types of bricks don't really match other photos of the event as well as the lack of support beams within the area they're in [2] [3] [4].
