9/11 - "Jumper" compilation

A collection of videos showing people falling from the World Trade Center. Some jumped, while others simply lost their grip.

The people who jumped knew there was no way out of their situation, and saw jumping as a better way to end things compared to suffocation or burning.

I can’t imagine going into work, knowing I’d be deciding between those two that day.

I like to think that they are in a high state of shock by this point and that the final decision wasn't as painful as we are empathizing with.

yeah, i'm going to come back down to reality, and say that wasn't the case for most of them

Well I'm talking emotional, not physical shock. I've been in life or death situations and it's been rather out of body (as in not feeling the fear etc).

To pre-edit, I've never been in combat as I'm sure many of you have. I'm also not trying to diminish the experience. I only ask if you feel like sharing, but I imagine the experience to be something where normal emotions are not experienced in real time. I'm sure it does follow after though, and thank you for your sacrifice.

You’re very well spoken. It’s nice to see someone on here who takes the time.

How would you know how they felt or what they felt at that moment? When you get yourself in a situation like that, PLEASE just jump on Reddit real quick and let us all know! Dope...............🤦‍♂️

There was an interview with a fireman there on the day and he said a woman who jumped landed right next to him (or may have even fallen on another firefighter and killed him?)

I think one of the firefighters went to cover her body and she groaned

“I’m not dead yet!” Before dying. Apparently her whole lower half was gone where she landed feet-first.

I can’t find reference to it when I Google.

If true, then this story involves two different women. A female jumper did land on a firefighter, killing him, but I haven't heard anything about the other one. It definitely seems possible though, because of the human body being the way it is

Such a horrible decision to have to make. I'd have to take my chances running through fire.

Hitting the ground at terminal velocity is a much less painful way to die than burning alive.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Agreed. But I'd at least like some chance of survival

And sometimes people survive crazy high falls. I don’t blame them. I think I’d make the same choice.

If I was faced with the decision I'd much rather jump as well, especially when the alternative is most likely burning alive.

The heat is most likely what people hanging out of windows near the impact zone were trying to escape from, rather than the smoke, in my opinion, but of course we can't be completely positively sure.

Your body will explode like a water balloon when you hit the ground, but if you're going to die on that day anyway it doesn't really matter

This honestly make me think of the Lost media of " LOL Superman" witch was just a comp of jumper's from the tower's but some of them were well never before seen video's.

Yeah, that video intrigues me because it sounds somewhat familiar. I feel like I've seen it before but since it's lost at the moment I can't check. So it's an interesting feeling

I remember seeing this live as an 18 year old and it blew my mind so hard that I was actually thinking: “wait, they’re going to be fine right? Right??”

I just couldn’t process what I was seeing. Insane in retrospect. Anyone else have a similar reaction way back then?

So anyone interested in 9/11, there are some amazing media out there that gives more insight. The Woman Who Wasn't There has a lot of survuvor stories, the play "The Guys" was extremely researched and has the same, inside 9/11 NatGeo another solid one.

The Woman Who Wasn't There was a really good one. About that lady from Spain who claimed to be a survivor who lost her fiance/husband...even though she was never in the country and his family never heard of her right?

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Yes. She actually became the head of a 9/11 survivors support group before she was found out.

Looks like a group jump at the 1:15 minute mark..... What a sad, sad day. I remember it all too well. 🙏😔🙏

I feel worse for the people who jumped from the highest points. Having all that extra time to think on the way down

Damn poor souls, deciding to end their lives and to get their last breaths of fresh air at least.

Nice compilation and great music for once.

I remember the first few days after 9/11, there was a HUGE uproar when one of the early shock sites (can't recall the name) featured a WTC jumper vid dubbed with Tom Petty's "Free Falling." The same site also posted an assortment of so-called WTC jumper trading cards. Made to resemble baseball cards, they would have a screen cap of the various jumpers plus their stats - height, weight, IAS, terminal velocity, shit like that. The backlash was enormous, with talk of having the site shut down. Anyone else recall this?

Thought this was going to feature the Third Eye Blind track of the same name.

But, who knows, maybe this IS tied to the LOL Superman video(s).

I remember robotripping my face off in earth science when the principal came over the speakers announcing we have been attacked and then seeing that stuff. Our business in the Middle East still is not finished. Especially with how Barry and bidet handled the pull outs. Slap in the face of every service member and pissing on the graves of those who stayed there.

A lot of these people were jumping from areas way underneath where the airplane hit. Why not use the stairwells? I think these people wanted to die before they even knew the planes would hit the towers

The jet fuel helped destroy above and below the impact. Just because it was below didn’t make it safe.

Something like 1000 people were trapped in the North Tower. I can guarantee you at least one of them was already suicidal and to them it was their lucky day lol.
