abstract="This paper is an analysis of five interviews conducted after the World Trade Center explosion on February 26, 1993, in New York City. Five people who were among those evacuated from the towers reported their experiences. The testimonies were analyzed according to the number of evacuees, occupants' awareness and knowledge of the emergency, behavior until egress, behavior in stairways, reverse flow of evacuees, and time to egress. According to the study, characteristics of human behavior become apparent in mass and simultaneous egress.<p />",
