World Trade Centers "Jumpers" September 11, 2001 (Information In Thread)

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.

I canne remember who told me or if it's even true but wasn't is suspected that some of them had heart attacks and died before hitting the ground outta fear or at least pass out? One can only hope as I think I'd rather that than squish yk

Well this is a new level of dumb. Those people would've felt absolutely nothing as they hit the ground. Lights out. As opposed to having your heart painfully attacking you. Besides, do you think heart attacks are instant? They taking longer than the fall. Like dude... try a little harder to think.

You're like those suicidal people who think burning yourself is a good idea

I feel like you completely read over the part where I was basically taking it with a pinch of salt anyways? You're like those people who get defensive really quickly & insult because they're not heard out irl :marseyspirit::marseyembrace:
