I watched an hour special last night on Fox about 9/11. I cried and it seemed just like yesterday. When they talked to a couple of camera guys about people jumping out of the buildings I lost it. I can't imagine what it must be like to have witnessed it IRL. What were those people thinking just before they jumped? My God, how horrific.
I watched it at midnight for the rerun. I was sitting here sobbing. They showed some footage that somehow I had never seen.
The question remains. How BAD must a situation be that your choice is to jump from those heights, knowing what the end result will be.
My heart hurts when I think of that.
Mine too. I guess either way, they knew they were going to die.
I cannot imagine the fear or pain of burning up.....but I am so terrified of extreme height, I don't know that I would have the courage to jump either. (I would have been one that couldn't have walked or had a desk near a window more than about 10 floors up)
It took me 3 hours to open this thread. I still have the same anger I did 9 years ago.

Took me a while too....
