I don't have the exact rundown but I do know my dad was the MPO (ECC) of Engine 16 that morning and they were on the 1st alarm.
Taking a guess I would say E1, E65, E16, E21, L24, L7.

Because it was two separate buildings and there were 15 adjacent boxes simultaneously, these responses are a close approximation.
Empire State Building - B-25 Bomber Crash 79th Floor
Astoria Building - aircraft engine fell
Box 681 - 5th Ave & W 30th St + 15 adjacent boxes
Box 715 - 5th Ave & W 34th St

I know I have mentioned this in previous threads but it's worth saying again for those that are interested. A hard cover book titled "the Sky Is Falling" authored by Arthur Weingarten was published in 1977 and is all about the crash. From the crew onboard right up to and after the crash it's a book you cannot put down. Numerous photos of the crew and FDNY operations at the site. I'm sure copies are still available if you check on line. Enjoy!
