Locating Survivors

RICH GARLOCK: As soon as we had access to our office, we organized and copied subgrade and tower architectural drawings to distribute to FEMA [the Federal Emergency Management Administration] who passed them on to the search and rescue teams. We also spent a lot of time brainstorming with rescue personnel about where people might have been trying to escape — stairwells, elevators — or areas where they might have sought shelter from the collapse that could still be intact, where they might find people still alive. These maps (above) were made later and indicate what we believe were the subgrade conditions right after the towers collapsed on September 11th.
