Hopefully, they will live to fight another day. Right now, their life relies on somebody else coming to their rescue.

However, the explosion and impact of the Jet Liner into the Trade Center, was too much for it to be remained attached around her neck.
Rubble starts to fall on Tina and Lola, as the Building starts to become unstable.
