WTC death toll drops again |
2001-10-26 |
The New York Times reports on the dwindling World Trade Center death toll. Counting the official tallies of firemen who perished, the dead at companies that suffered major losses, 165 diners and staffers at the Windows on the World restaurant and "unofficial and single-digit losses suffered by 135 other companies," the Times comes up with a tally of 2,950, "about 1,800 fewer than the list of the dead and missing kept and updated daily by the city, which as of Tuesday stood at 4,764." That number itself had dropped by some 500 in recent weeks. |
