I was in the Army at the time, having served as part of a DART (Downed Aircraft Rescue Team). We watched the second plane as it happened on a secure feed, and assumed we would be needed and started scrambling to deploy there to rescue survivors... that we would get the call to deploy seemed obvious... but after the towers collapsed they told us to stand down! The expected "overwhelmed responders" never happened... That was stunning that the wreckage was so absolute and complete, the number of "injured" in need of rescue was negligible... by in large people were either out alive... or not.
