WTC South Tower (2 WTC) Struck by Flight 175
United Airlines Flight 175 strikes the WTC South Tower between floors 77 and 85, live on television as news cameras had already turned to the burning North Tower. The deliberate nature of the attacks is immediately apparent to the world. One staircase (Stairwell A) remains passable, allowing some above the impact zone to escape.
