*** THE BUILDINGS ***
~ The World Trade Center ~
The twin towers of the World Trade Center were places of employment for some 50,000 people. With the missing list of just over 5,000 people, that means 90% of the people targeted survived the attack.
~ The Pentagon ~
Some 23,000 people were the target of a third plane aimed at the Pentagon. The latest count shows that 123 lost their lives. That is an amazing 99.5% survival rate.
In addition, the plane seems to have come in too low, too early, to affect a large portion of the building. On top of that, the section that was hit was the first of five sections to undergo renovations that would help protect the Pentagon from terrorist attacks. It had recently completed straightening and blast proofing, saving untold lives. This attack was very sad, but a statistical failure.
*** THE PLANES ***
~ American Airlines Flight 77 ~
This Boeing 757 that was flown into the outside of the Pentagon could have carried up to 196 people, yet 64 were aboard. 78% of the seats were empty.
~ American Airlines Flight 11 ~
This Boeing 767 could have had up to 262 people aboard, but carried 92. 74% of the seats were unfilled.
~ United Airlines Flight 175 ~
Another Boeing 767 that could have sat 262 people had 65 people on board. Again, by God's grace, it was 81% empty.
~ United Airlines Flight 93 ~
This Boeing 757 was one of the most uplifting stories yet. The smallest flight to be hijacked with 45 people aboard out of a possible 196 had 84% of its capacity unused. Yet these people stood up to the attackers and thwarted a fourth attempted destruction of a national landmark, saving untold numbers of lives in the process.
*** IN SUMMARY ***
Out of potentially 74,280 Americans directly targeted by these inept cowards, 93% survived or avoided the attacks.
The hijacked planes were mostly empty, the Pentagon was hit at it's strongest point, the overwhelming majority of people in the World Trade Center buildings escaped and a handful of passengers gave the ultimate sacrifice to save even more lives.
