Sobering.

[Billthedrill]

Far too many people have already either forgotten the WTC atrocity or twisted and reformed it to fit into their own political agenda. BTT.

[Lunatic Fringe]

I don't understand the obsession of identifying the man in the picture. What purpose does it serve?

[csvset]

I'm somewhat surprised that the article didn't show the picture.

Here's a historical FR link: Plane Crashes into World Trade Center

[EBH]

It was truly an amazing emotional day. Watching the planes crash, buildings fall, 'others' cheer, and still others spell bound by horror. The sinking feeling as the mayor of Cleveland ordered the evacuation of tall buildings in downtown, driving home, listening in what seemed like endless silence.

I saw the 'jumpers' and in my heart knew, understood, and forgave.

Too much even now to contemplate.

(With head respectfully bowed to the innocents lost on 9-11)

New York Minute (Don Henley)

Harry got up
Dressed all in black
Went down to the station
And he never came back
They found his clothing
Scattered somewhere down the track
And he won’t be down on wall street

In the morning
He had a home
The love of a girl
But men get lost sometimes
As years unfurl
One day he crossed some line
And he was too much in this world
But I guess it doesn’t matter anymore

In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Things can get pretty strange
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute

Lying here in the darkness
I hear the sirens wail
Somebody going to emergency
Somebody’s going to jail
If you find somebody to love in this world
You better hang on tooth and nail
The wolf is always at the door

In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
Things can get a little strange
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute

And in these days
When darkness falls early
And people rush home
To the ones they love
You better take a fool’s advice
And take care of your own
One day they’re here;
Next day they’re gone

I pulled my coat around my shoulders
And took a walk down through the park
The leaves were falling around me
The groaning city in the gathering dark
On some solitary rock
A desperate lover left his mark,
Baby, I’ve changed. please come back.
What the head makes cloudy
The heart makes very clear
The days were so much brighter
In the time when she was here
But I know there’s somebody somewhere
Make these dark clouds disappear
Until that day, I have to believe
I believe, I believe...

In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute
You can get out of the rain
In a new york minute
Everything can change
In a new york minute

Very sobering. I remember every detail of that horrible day. The pics of the jumpers still choke me up and raise my anger level to rage.

[Publius6961]

I have often wondered who that man was; and felt anger at not knowing the name, the face, the spirit.
While I have seen the face and name of his killer hundreds of times.

I feel our government and our mainstream media has robbed us of an essential part of our adult lives, and treated us as children.

There too, is a great deal of resentment. To this day.

[Cicero]

I'm a Catholic. I believe that suicide is wrong.

I don't think any of those people committed suicide. It's not suicide when you jump to escape from a burning building that will kill you, as far as I'm concerned.

May they rest in peace with God.

"9/11: The Falling Man, a documentary to be screened on Channel 4 on March 16, and Junod’s original article stop just short of saying Briley is definitely the Falling Man."

An odd way to go about hyping a TV show.

[georgia2006]

He has been improperly identified before.

I saw one picture taken by Bolivar Arello of a person after they had hit the ground

[1rudeboy]

Here is a Falling Man essay from 2003, I don't have time to compare the two.

[SE Mom]

I just went back and read several of the threads from that morning. As always- great reporting by FReepers.

I can look back at major events in my life and remember them fondly, or sadly..but 9/11 is really like nothing else. I don't so much remember it, as I do re-live it..

Nothing has been the same since.

As the ACLu and so-called 'do-gooders' come out of the woodwork to support these barbarians post 9/11, I would like to ask if anyone thinks that any of the 3000+ who lost their lives there would rather have had panties put over their heads? This world has finally gone totally insane.
