Some of the most upsetting moments of the WTC attacks were those agonizing images of the desperate men and women who jumped or fell from the towers. WTC towers rise 1300 feet, on the broken window ledges, for how long did these innocent people contemplate that unimaginable fall? - Absolutely all of the WTC victims and their families deserve our utmost sympathy.

God bless America and her friends

From a Sept. 8, 2009 Esquire article by Tom Junod titled "The Falling Man"


They began jumping not long after the first plane hit the North Tower, not long after the fire started. They kept jumping until the tower fell. They jumped through windows already broken and then, later, through windows they broke themselves. They jumped to escape the smoke and the fire; they jumped when the ceilings fell and the floors collapsed; they jumped just to breathe once more before they died. They jumped continually, from all four sides of the building, and from all floors above and around the building's fatal wound. They jumped from the offices of Marsh & McLennan, the insurance company; from the offices of Cantor Fitzgerald, the bond-trading company; from Windows on the World, the restaurant on the 106th and 107th floors -- the top. For more than an hour and a half, they streamed from the building, one after another, consecutively rather than en masse, as if each individual required the sight of another individual jumping before mustering the courage to jump himself or herself. One photograph, taken at a distance, shows people jumping in perfect sequence, like parachutists, forming an arc composed of three plummeting people, evenly spaced. Indeed, there were reports that some tried parachuting, before the force generated by their fall ripped the drapes, the tablecloths, the desperately gathered fabric, from their hands. They were all, obviously, very much alive on their way down, and their way down lasted an approximate count of ten seconds. They were all, obviously, not just killed when they landed but destroyed, in body though not, one prays, in soul.

From a Sept 11 2001 Truthquake. com article 9/11 Victims Forgotten

The only research that comes close to being an official account is buried deep in an appendix of the huge report into why the towers collapsed, conducted by the National Institute for Standards and Technology.As part of its research into where the fire was at its most intense, NIST analyzed camera footage and still photographs, and counted 104 jumpers, often recording the floor and exact window from which they left. All but three leapt from the first building to be hit -- the North Tower. The second plane struck the South Tower 16 minutes later but it collapsed first, giving people less time to react. The first jumper is recorded plunging from the North Tower's 149th window of the 93rd floor on the north face of the building at 8.51 am, just over four minutes after it was hit by the first hijacked Boeing 757 between the 93rd and 99th floors.Sometimes the people falling were separated by an interval of just a second. At one point nine people fell in six seconds from five adjacent windows; at another, 13 people fell in two minutes. Twenty minutes after the building was struck, two people fell simultaneously from the same window on the 95th floor. At least four jumpers tried to climb to other windows for safety, but then lost their grips. One person climbed from the 93rd floor to the 92nd, clinging to the window's edge before falling just one second after someone else fell from the same window -- number 215 on the east face of the tower. The early jumpers came from the crash zone where the plane entered the building -- the offices of the insurance brokers Marsh & McLennan.The last jumper fell just as the North Tower collapsed 102 minutes after the building had been hit.

  • Thank you for making this, it was beautifully done. I think so many of us have grown numb to the horror of that day because we've seen film of the planes so many times. This, to me, was the truly sad thing that happened. Knowing there was no help possible, that they were on their own and dying from the smoke and sheer heat. I'm sure some jumped, but it's obvious that some fell- just trying to breathe. I feel such deep sorrow for all of them, and thank you for letting me bear witness to their

  • @DuecePiece You said god bless them..you're a dumbass, i just refuted that by saying a loving omniscient god wouldnt let this happen & if it did it certainly wouldnt be those things but a petty jealous capricious blood thristy mob boss, you get some balls & realize you believe in unproven bullshit, that everything in religion has failed, science & logic have brought us everything, it gives you the power to call me a d-bag in digital space for being completely right & you coming to terms with it.

  • @maggotforlife92 Except hell isnt real and wishing someone go there for an enternity for a finite crime like talking makes you an immoral piece of shit and you should be ashamed of yourself for being so stupid and deplorable for believing in a totalitarian dictator god and wishing hellfire...hell comes from ancient egypt as does a lot of christianity and other religions, they tend to copycat, its all a fuckin story dude, get over it...i mean look at the ppl who did these acts...religious...

  • Terminal velocity is reached about 2/3 of the way down from floors 90 and above. Bodies are hitting concrete or asphalt at almost 150 mph hence the "ripe tomato" effect.

  • @mikeyg789 how are you going to come on a video like this can be a complete dickhead to people who believe in god. you sir, will burn.

  • @mikeyg789 look asshole I don't need you atheist bullshit, I was just trying to show my respects for the dead in the way I know how. You don't have to go and spin it to something negative you DOUCHEBAG! Grow up, get some balls, get out of your parents basement and FIND A HEART BITCH! You don't know me internet gangster, so just get off the computer trolling and mind your own business you WORTHLESS FUCK!

  • @lampyish the guilt is on religions side, fight religions oppression on the world

  • @DuecePiece gods children? are you seriously one of those dumbasses that thinks you have god on your nations side as if he endorses you like pepsi? delusional sycophant with no thoughts of his own, why dont you just live in the dark ages with the muslims who also believe they are "gods children" sickening

  • @DuecePiece bless them with flames? you sure have a fucked up sense of morality if you can spin this positively, afterlife has never been proven and these people were killed in vain in the name of religious fundamentalism in the first place

  • "If you do anything just pray" what a load of shit, prayer has never been proven and under scientific testing goes along with the odds of chance, and how could your supposed loving god torture you with flames just to get into a totalitarian heaven where genocide is ok and then you get into heaven as long as you believed...when a non believer can do good his whole life and still get hell for finite crimes agaisnt no one except a jealous manelovant bully....grow up ppl, there is no god
