- kweks 8y agoNo, they're in the North Tower. The bells are suspended in a wooden structure that is free-standing, and free moving inside the stone structure. This allows free movement when the bells are ringing, without stressing the stones. It was a priority to extinguish the north tower fire to prevent the bell structure from collapsing - the falling bells would have destroyed the stone structures on the way down, presumably triggering the collapse of both towers..
