WTC1 Lobby local elevator corridor (before and during 9/11) with fireball damage
The lobby core local elevators (9 => 40) corridor (WTC 1) pre 9/11 and during 9/11
IIRC, this is the place where fuel poured down the #6-7 express and the 50 freight elevators in WTC1, killing numerous people waiting for a local elevator to the lower zones.
The #6-7 cars were stopped below the lobby for maintenance, giving a clear shot for the fuel to explode here.
The #50 service shaft was hit later as its passengers managed to flee just before the car burned down after dropping all the way to the bottom, saved by the emergency brakes.
In the second picture during 9/11 you can see the burned sign and active sprinklers at the exact same place.
