As of 3:00PM EST there is no evidence that a fast-spreading fire is going to occur in lower Manhattan, however there continues to be concern that other buildings in the area may collapse. A debris mass five stories high, still burning, is all that remains of the World Trade Center. At least a dozen people jumped from the upper floors of the World Trade Center before the buildings collapsed. More than two hundred New York City firemen and other emergency service personnel are unaccounted for, in addition to an unknown number of civilians.

Due to the adverse situation in the area of the World Trade Center, an organized rescue effort cannot yet be mounted. Casualties are expected to be high.
