The north, and the south tower had 99 elevators each.
There are 6 elevators in the Flatiron Building, with 3 on each side of the corridor.
American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into the North Tower (1 WTC), and United Airlines Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower (2 WTC).
While there is a wide range of possible explanations for the collapse of the South Tower (2 WTC) before the North (1 WTC), it is believed that the lower impact of the plane on the tower (a full 15 stories under the same point on 1 WTC) and the passing of shrapnel and parts of the plane through three of four floor beams weakened the structure at an accelerated rate and brought 2 WTC down before its counterpart.
Yes, the North Tower (also referred to as 1 WTC) was the second of the towers to collapse.
2,606 people died in Tower 1 during the September 11 attacks in 2001.

American Airlines Flight 11 hit the North Tower (1 WTC).
The North Tower (1 WTC) was impacted at 8:46 AM and fell at 10:28 AM, standing for 102 minutes after American Airlines Flight 11 hit. The South Tower (2 WTC) was hit at 9:03 AM and fell at 9:59 AM, a mere 56 minutes after impact.
It took 5 years to agree upon but in April of 2006, negotiations were finalized and a future WTC site plan was unvailed. This will include 6 new WTC buildings including 1 main tower (Freedom Tower) instead of the original 2. A memorial and museum will take place on the original tower 1 & 2 footprints and a performing arts center will be constructed after Port Authorities temporary exit is moved after the major structural construction of ground zero is set up. WTC 1-5 and WTC 7 are planned. There is no plans for a future WTC 6 building although 99 Church Street or Goldman Sachs may be named WTC 6 in the future. WTC 7 (the 3rd structure to collapse besides the major towers) has already been completed. Construction began in 2002 and the tower opened in May '06. The original WTC 7 had 47 floors, the new has 52 floors. As of Sept 08, the 10 uppermost floors are the only unleased floors with portions of 2 other floors currently empty as well. All new buildings that have not already been completed
A brief Google search can provide photos of the planes moments before entering the Twin Towers. Only a few people captured footage of American Airlines Flight 11 first hitting the North Tower (1 WTC), but you can find many clear photos of United Airlines Flight 175 seconds before impact at the South Tower (2 WTC).
1WTC was 1368 ft and 2WTC was 1362 ft. No no no they were the exact same height get it right sherlock.
