By 9/21/01, it was reported that 6,291 people had been treated at area hospitals including rescue workers.
As of 9/13/01 9:00 EDT
4300 casualties treated at area hospitals including rescue workers.
Bellevue Hospital treated about 250 people, admitting 33. Injuries included broken bones and bruises; newer patients coming in with post-traumatic stress. The majority of the patients were emergency workers: 82 firefighters and 38 police officers.
The burn unit at New York Presbyterian Hospital received 17 victims, with burns over 14 to 90 percent of their bodies. Three have been released, five died, two were taken off of critical status, and seven remain in critical status as of October 16, 2001. One victim in critical status is Lauren Manning, 40, Cantor Fitzgerald.
The 92 acre (370,000 m²) complex known as Battery Park City, with 9000 residents in 20 buildings, was evacuated immediately following the attack. Though people were allowed to return two weeks later, occupancy remained as low as 31 percent in some of the buildings. The major landlord, the LeFrak Corporation, did not charge rent during the forced evacuation, and offered a month's respite from rent in the most damaged buildings. Many of the residents were too traumatized by the events to want to remain.
