Where were the toilets from the buildings? There should have been nearly 10,000 toilet fixtures in the "rubble pile." (But there wasn't a "rubble pile," either!)

Number of toilets expected

25,000 each tower approx. 6,000 each for WTC 3,4,5,6 = 24,000
50,000 + 24,000 = 74,000 people.
Not including WTC7
Approximately 2876 toilets
Why can't we find even ONE of them?

The WTC towers were over 1/4 mile tall. Because of the enormous head as well as the problem of line siphoning, water is pumped in stages to intermediate tanks, then pumped from the intermediate tank to higher floors. Therefore, there were many water tanks in the TWC building as well as pumping systems.
To conserve water, many businesses and households use "turbo toilets."
To reduce the amount of water that must be pumped up in the building, it is likely they would have had a lot of "turbo toilets." These greatly reduce the water needed as well as having extra robust flushing power that keeps the toilet clean.
For single-tank fixtures, water is pressurized with air in a pressure vessel that is installed within a normal-looking tank. The pressure system for multiple-fixture restrooms would have a larger tank that would serve multiple fixtures like those shown above.
