Twin Towers
On September 11, 2001 the elevator system within the World Trade Center proved to be deadly for the individuals trapped within the massive, 198-car system. When the hijacked planes struck the building complex, innocent inhabitants were either burned alive, trapped inside the elevators until the towers collapsed or forced to plunge to their death after the track cables were destroyed. To date, it is estimated that 200 people lost their lives in elevators during the attack.
