After the first plane struck the North Tower at 8:46 am, Chief Palmer helped organize operations there. Soon after the second plane hit the South Tower at 9:03 am., Palmer moved into that building with Chief Burns. Although most elevators had been rendered non-operational, Palmer found a working one and took it to the 41st floor, which was halfway to the impact zone, which spanned the 77th to the 85th floors . About 14 or 15 minutes before the South Tower collapsed, a group of people who had survived the plane’s impact began their descent from the 78th floor. As they departed, Palmer sent word to Chief Edward Geraghty that a group of 10 people, some of whom exhibited injuries, were heading to an elevator on the 41st floor, the only one left working by the plane’s impact. However, on its last trip down, the car became stuck in the shaft. Inside the elevator was a Ladder 15 firefighter who reported that he was trying to break open the walls. It is unclear whether the group of 10 had reached that elevator before it left the 41st floor, but those who listened to the tape said it was most unlikely that they had enough time to escape, by the elevator or by stairs.
