Sounds like some serious issues beyond access control!
It's New York, their response times are horrible. They are really stretched because of the heat and if there was not another delay of a half hour for an ambulance all over the press on Monday this probably would have gotten more traction as a story.

Why didn't they just go to the front door and through the security lane?

It also seems like way more than CPR was needed

Emergency medical responders from the Port Authority dispatch were eventually able to enter the building through another route, but they were delayed by two minutes. The PAPD EMTs lacked the required medical equipment and training to help the victim
