Description/title from source
The following video is intended to be used only to illustrate the attacks on the World Trade Center at a ground level, beyond the images of the towers burning in the skyline. It revolves around the so-called "jumpers" falling to—and meeting their fate in—the ground. The term refers to people who die by trauma sustained due to falling from a large height. This video will be deleted as new footage is added.
All of the source videos are available in both YouTube and the Internet Archive websites.

We had just moved here and we did that when I was 38 I think. So everyone's a young whippersnapper.

I was in college on my way to take a test in Parasitology listening to the radio when the first plane hit. The DJs thought it was a small single engine plane and were making jokes about how like 'it's the biggest building in the country...how could you not see it'.....then they saw the footage and their entire tone changed. Second plane hit just as I was entering the school. I was the one to tell everyone in the class what had happened. We all left after the test and I went to get my oil changed. I watched both towers fall on the little tv they had in the jiffy lube waiting area. Then I had to go to work.
Every year, I try to be available on Sept 11th to watch all of the programs they show to make sure I NEVER FORGET. It was truly life altering...and the continued pain in the days that followed knowing all of the first responders that perished.....those emergency beacons beeping in the silence.....dozens at first....then fading to none...
There's a great book called Working Stiff written by the ME in NYC during this era. There's a whole chapter on 9/11 where she talks about how they collected and identified body parts and some of the unbelievable things she witnessed. Highly recommended to anyone who likes this site

I was 38, and remember the first World Trade Center attack in the 90s.
