The south tower had begun evacuation when "an official" announced over the building wide intercom that everything was fine and the people in the stairwell needed to turn around and go back to work. This story, told by survivors who ignored the command, was vehemently denied until the 911 commission reviewed an audio recording in which the message could be heard.
- gowld 7y agoSource? This page has a massive amount of information about evacuation problems, including a false assertion made over the intercom that the building was safe, and that people needed to turn around because doors were locked, but nothing about "go back to work" except baseless speculation by a sibling of a victim. It doesn't even make sense, why would management of a building with dozens or hundreds of tenants care who is working? http://www.mjbarkl.com/locked.htm http://www.mjbarkl.com/locked.htm
