You have 102 minutes before tower collapses to make a parachute out of shirts or a rope or something to safely rappel down or throw a ton of couch cushions onto the ground and then jump.

You would in theory only need to rappel down below the impact zone then kick in a window and go down the stairs

I probably would have done this. I bet I could use a bunch of ethernet cables as a rope

The damage from the impact severed all escape routes from floors 92 and higher, trapping more than 800 people on the upper floors of the building.[95] No one above the 91st floor was able to make it out alive before the tower collapsed 102 minutes later at 10:28 a.m.[96]

It didn't truly look like that from the outside. I don't completely doubt it either, but I wonder if they looked down a stairwell and saw a lot of smoke and fire and decided they should stay put rather than roll the dice, unsure of what was beneath that smoke and fire, and how far it extended down.
