Did Y’all Know The Infamous “Falling Man” 9/11 Guy was Black?

That phone call of the white dude in the tower as it collapsed

I would had fought to survive or die trying. I would made folks go on the other side of the building where there's no fire, make us all use our clothes as a rope, tether down to a window below the broken area of the building, smash through the window, get as many people down with me , and rundown the stairs.

You would have died nikka STFU

Wow I never knew that , actually never looked into it either

The people that were jumping were on the floors above where the plane hit. There was no way to get to them.

Jumping was a better alternative than being burned or buried alive.

im afraid of heights so I struggle with what I would have done.

suffocating or burning alive seems like a better alternative than falling to my death from the tallest building in the world.

I know we would never know until we unfortunately are in that situation though.

I read one of those long reads on the internet years ago talking about a series of fires and people's reaction to them. These I believe were in residences and stores mostly but the conclusion was the same.
You have no idea just how hot fire can really burn. There was a guy in there who was trying to get back into his house on fire to rescue his two kids. He got close and had to back up watching the fire consume their room.
Also there was this horrible fire in a bar somewhere in the US up North where a rock band set off some pyrotechnics and it caught the bar on fire.
Something like 30-40 people all died in one spot trying to get out of the front door which was blocked by bodies. They could have escaped out of the back but people were so panicked they just kept pushing the victims on top of each other.

Yeah, passed out anyways

 

[Kingshango]

i would've grabbed the wall and slid down.
let the friction of my body against the building slow me down.
might bust my ankles but it's better than jumping.

give up, brehs...

Man if you don't get yo Jackie Chan Who Am I ass outta here.

same solution as the towers.
grab onto the mob and slide over them.
slide to live gang never lose.



Happy Land fire in the Bronx is a prime example:



instead of pushing against each other, they should have grabbed and slid.
shyt is mad basic, ants do that shyt all the time.
