NONE. May be some from areas nearby. The Towers were brought down by dynamites and plane hit was a drama. The temperature rose way aboe 3000 C sufficient to melt all 11 black boxes and 200,000 tons of solid steel and a heavy duty printing press in the basement. How can one survive. OF course when the temperature went down, some people who entered and got toxic fumes etc. may b resuced and none from intitail blasts.

I just watched a special on it and they said 5 people. Some of those were firefighters and I think one woman was a worker for the WTC. So sad....
Wish there could've been more.
