I had a hard time comprehending how someone could come to that decision to jump, but in case it provides any of y’all solace, they may not consciously have made that choice

what I mean is, the human body is predisposed to react to certain things and avoid certain dangers. For example, when you touch a hot stove, your hand automatically moves away you don’t have to tell it to. So some scientists theorize that those people in the towers, it was so hot and there was so little oxygen, there bodies “jumped” without really thinking about it because our body’s first instinct is to get oxygen and get away from the heat that was in those buildings.
That is fukking crazy when you think about it. There's no way I can hold my hand on a hot iron and just keep it there. I could now see my self being forced out a window without realizing. The smoke alone is hot, not even mentioning the flames. shyt that is crazy. I know my body would of jumped out that window

Definitely. I've watched a few but this one was very detailed. That man who left that other man to die pissed me off so bad. That mf was just gonna die there if dude hadn't told him to get out then he leaves... I hope that mf has had consecutive bad days for the last 20 years :birdman:
Wait i don’t have HULU brehs ? Any other way to watch ? Is it on Disney+

honest question cuz i live alone, did you have trouble going to sleep after watching it. I have bad sleep paralysis and cant even sleep in the dark cuz my sleep paralysis will act up. I sometimes cant go to sleep even though im tired as hell. I have to wait until weds. to sleep during the day.

nah I didn't but a lot of it bothered me

esp the scenes of dudes describing like that lady her head was in perfect condition but below her neck everything was mangled.

or dude saying he saw body parts here and there

those phone calls

folks looking out the windows waving towels hoping for help

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...

Making clothes as a rope? First I’d like to say, if we were trapped up there I would’ve killed you for saying that dumb shyt.

them buildings obviously werent manufactured in harlem :dame:

imagine being a building and being brought to your knees by another man

It's the lack of oxygen more than anything else. Fear of suffocation, drowning, smoke inhalation, anything that obstructs your ability to breathe will make you do ANYTHING for oxygen.

This is why you are supposed to secure the oxygen mask on yourself before assisting others in the event of a loss of cabin pressure. This is why you can't rescue a person who is drowning without a flotation device. This is why water-boarding is an effective method of torture.

No one who jumped (in truth, most people simply fell from the open windows) had any concept of the consequences of falling. They wanted oxygen.

The fires lasted for an entire hour. People were standing on desks because the floors had become unbearably hot. The ceilings and floors were buckling on each floor. The building was creaking and groaning and listing.

Anyone who fell from the towers stayed until they were beyond making a conscious decision. It was a reflex.

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.

White supremacy is the reason why..it is an institution.

White people have a hard time focusing the flashlight onto themselves, whether liberal or not..a White supremacist was in charge when covid hit, and his subsequent denials, junk science, corruption and sheer madness of his ego killed all those people..over half a million dead!
But, since he was blonde haired and blue eyed with German roots white people in general struggle to call it what it is..
911 was some Muslim Arabs, very easy to sell to the public. Practically sells itself..
