i was watching some documentary and they compared it to a rat clawing through someones stomach to stay alive from the fire on the other side. saying our first instinct is to get away from the fire/heat, so people without thinking, would just in a snap of ya fingers, do whats logical and get away from the fire and jump without really taking in all the ramifications. i couldnt imagine that feeling in the air.

i imagine the feeling would be like :sadcam: all the way to the floor

Looking back, if I had to die in that attack, I would rather die in the planes.

You'd want to die with your heart thumping in your chest as you fly at an ungodly fast speed into a skyscraper with some Saudis screaming "ALLAH AKHBAR!" at the top of their lungs?! :damn:

That is truly a chilling picture, and I wish I didn't see that this late at night.

I actually saw it happen. I was in class n outside the window, I saw a blur fly towards a building, and just a whole bunch of smoke.
At first, I honestly thought it was a movie and was like :russ: "That's a cool effect!". but then I noticed a whole panic around me, and realized something was very wrong. They cancelled all classes after that, and even though I was in Brooklyn, there was still a panic around me from people trying to get to phones to contact family members and seeing what was going on.

That day, 2 things stuck to my head: the smoke coming from the crash just hanging over the air, never moving, and the static from the TV when I got home as I tried flipping through channels to see if there was any information. I overheard somewhere that it was the Twin Towers that got hit, but the scary part was not knowing what the hell that blur I saw in the sky was was until much later and if it would happen again.

My heart goes out to all those souls in Ground Zero, and everyone who managed to survive the attack.

that must have been a crazy decision to make,,,,stay in a collapsing building or freefall to your death :wow:

Waiting for rescue while you're getting burn and having hard time breathing with the strong black smoke around you for how long?.....that sh!t is worse than jump to death. Jump and smash in one sec you gone, you won't feel pain but you gonna be :to: while you're thinking about your family, your children, etc :wow:

In hindsight, it's a no brainer to jump out the window. Imagine if the building collapsed and you didn't die immediately but were trapped in a painful position suffocating. Awful, awful.

Gotta jump

they were going 150mph, not fast enough to lose consciousness on the way down, but enough to feel nothing on contact :to:
