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.

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...............🤦‍♂️
