When the first plane hit the World Trade Center, I was in my apartment about a block and a half away. I used to work for a law firm in the WTC, but even afterwards I still lived in nearby Battery Park City. When the first plane hit it sounded like a bus crashing into something.
I went outside to look, and I wasn't the only one. When I saw the building on fire, I foolishly went over to join a crowd watching on the other side of the street. I say foolishly, in retrospect, because if you see a building burning on fire, your first instinct should be to run away. But that thought didn't occur to me at the time. We didn't even know, yet, that it was a terrorist attack; it was thought that perhaps a plane had accidently crashed into 1 WTC. Remember, there was about a 20 minute gap between the first plane and the second one.
As I stood there looking up I saw parts of WTC destroyed but much of the building, especially lower down, was untouched. The thing I remember the most was the mountain of falling papers, falling out of the sky. I also saw people, standing on the edge of ruined building floors.
And then I saw the bodies, the people falling to their deaths. At first I thought that maybe air pressure had pushed them out, but I had arrived after the first plane had hit, so I don't think that was it. My theory, which I will never be able to prove, is that the flames were so intense that people instinctively chose to jump rather than be burned to death. I saw bodies falling. Not a lot, but enough of them.

I remember the splatting bodies.
I also remember the msm cover up immediately after, wherein all references to splatting bodies were scrubbed.
The msm is an enemy of freedom also.
I thought, at first, that a plane had accidentally struck the tower, also. That is until I saw the second plane slam into te second tower.
“My theory, which I will never be able to prove, is that the flames were so intense that people instinctively chose to jump rather than be burned to death.”
Not a theory.
They were forced to choose between either being incinerated alive or falling a thousand feet to the pavement.
For many, there was no third choice.
And they continue to scrub... and pump us with Honey Boo Boo, Celebrity Asshole Chef Apprentice, My Big Fat Gay Wedding, Black Lives Matter, and Teen Werewolf Mom... and one day a year say “Never Forget”.
I remember how George W. Bush was hailed for a hero, when his lax border policies had allowed these terrorists to overstay their visas.
I agree with most of the author’s thoughts and conclusions, but good grief, GWB had been in office not even 8 months. Regardless of his subsequent immigration issues, wasn’t this more of a Clinton Gore doing?
BTW I watched alot of the 9/11 specials. Several of them did provide footage of the jumpers and reactions to them. Giuliani said that he witnessed it shortly after arriving on the scene. Several things that weren’t necessarily reported to us in the aftermath are now reveled on these specials.
NEVER FORGET
The press accounts at the time said that the men observed celebrating in New Jersey and who were later arrested were Israelis.
A lot of information about this seem to have been scrubbed from the Internet, but it is still possible to find the arrest report for the men.
They worked for a moving company that may have been an intelligence front. Presumably they were celebrating because it was regarded as positive for Israel for the United States to have become directly involved in the terrorism that often afflicts Israel.
And Clinton had a chance to neutralize Bin Laden, more than once.
There was someone talking on radio talking about how we could have prevented 9/11 happening. They referred to someone who had been placed with the terrorists after the first World Trade Center attack (with the UPS truck) during the Clinton admin. Clinton made budgets cuts to military and security. The inside guy needed some sort of backup to stay with these crazies. His handlers couldn’t promise him any support and he walked.
