104 Jumpers Who Flung Themselves From The Twin Towers Have Been 'Airbrushed From History'
The London Daily Mail ^ | 05:01 EST, 11 September 2011 | Tom Leonard

From the earliest days after the 9/11 attacks, the American establishment have showed an overwhelming reluctance to dwell on those who jumped or fell from the Twin Towers.

Unofficial estimates put the number of jumpers at around 200, but it is impossible to say for certain because their bodies were indistinguishable from others after the collapse of the Towers.

As part of its research into where the fire was at its most intense, NIST analysed camera footage and still photographs, and counted 104 jumpers, often recording the floor and exact window from which they left.

All but three leapt from the first building to be hit — the North Tower. The second plane struck the South Tower 16 minutes later but it collapsed first, giving occupants less time to react.

The first jumper is recorded plunging from the North Tower’s 149th window of the 93rd floor on the north face of the building at 8.51am, just over four minutes after it was hit by the first hijacked Boeing 757 between the 93rd and 99th floors.

Sometimes fallers were separated by an interval of just a second. At one point nine people fell in six seconds from five adjacent windows; at another, 13 people fell in two minutes. Twenty minutes after the building was struck, two people fell simultaneously from the same window on the 95th floor.

At least four jumpers tried to climb to other windows for safety then lost their grip. One person climbed from the 93rd floor to the 92nd, clinging to the window’s edge before falling just one second after someone else plumetted from the same window — number 215 on the east face of the tower.

The last jumper fell just as the North Tower collapsed 102 minutes after the building had been hit.

These people jumped because of Islam.

No other way to say it.

I would push several buttons. Always a few constants in my mind as to new sources of glass.

Had just gotten into work that morning after mailing some letters for my mother and had given her a call. She told me on the phone she thought she was seeing a movie when the first tower was hit. That was how sureal it was.

How to spare Israel is my only concern. Otherwise, I’d launch several volleys and turn the whole damned ME into a parking lot.

It hasn’t been airbrushed from my memory.
I will never forget it. It haunts me to this day.

How is that I can still be just as angry 15 years later?

I want to be as angry today as I was on 911. And I expect to be as angry on the day I die. Part of the reason is that "mommy government," our elected criminals at the time, wanted to "spare us the trauma."

Mexicans were able to view live every second of the mass murder.
Europe was able to view it.

Saudi Arabia was able to view it.
All of Latin America was able to view it.

Even Canada was able to view the massacre live but not on American TV; they had access to European news feeds).
The entire Middle East, all koranimals, was able to view it live. and muslims celebrated worlwide.

I was deprived of that privilege, to fuel my anger and eternal enmity towards anything muslim, forever!

Without the silent 80% supporting the two-legged animals directly or indirectly, the barbaric killers could not operate worldwide.

I have the added benefit of experiencing muslim hate and rage at home, in San Francisco, first hand via an educated, rich muslim surgeon, dating a German woman idiot. This woman and the woman I was dating at the time were friends and workmates.
This happened in the early 70s. After three years of socializing, having dinners together, attending receptions and artistic events, one small, forgotten criticism (perhaps a condemnation of muslim brutality?) set him off, and the Jekyll/Mr Hyde/muslim emerged in his ugliest form.
I excused myself and my date, never looked back, nor heard from him again.

Forget?
Not even a remote possibility.

I still wish we had the complete list of ALL the victims of the koranimals, including the 200+ jumpers. They are nameless to me certainly not by choice, and all their names and the particularly gruesome they died are worth remembering. I assume that their names already all are on the memorial.

The uni-party and their media enablers were terrified the jumper videos and photos would create an uncontrollable backlash.

The a******s were right.

But backlash? Fat chance.
Try RAGE!!

I remember it. Thanks you for saving it and bringing it back.

My anger is cold, but no less strong. God have mercy on the souls of anyone who thaws it...for I will have none on their bodies.

Read the Book.

Then, either believe, or disbelieve, the account there.

Choose wisely; your soul may depend upon it.

Obama’s top adviser, Valerie Jarrett, is a Muslim who was born in Iran where her parents still live.

Interesting. Jarrett was born in Iran to American parents. Her father was a doctor and her mother was a teacher.

I did not know that Jarrett claims to be a Muslim or that here parents live today in Iran. Got a link to that info?

That is why I went to church and heard God’s word. So I have chosen wisely.

Yes, me, too. The end of life as they knew was inescapable. It was to either suffocate or die burning up. Having had several small serious burns and, at another time, needing aerosolized epi to breath, and knowing how long both of those went on, I would have jumped. Anybody with any compassion would not be talking about suicide or going to hell or any other tommyrot like that, but would have prayed they had a quick end.

I understand. I watched United 93 today, and when those brave heroes rushed the cockpit, I was actually saying, out loud, "Kill those s... of b......."

That move is heartbreaking.

If he was he would let one of our leaders send some nuke’s over there to settle this once and for all.

Clinton also prevented the intelligence agencies from talking to each other. Look into the Phoenix papers. The FBI was screaming about the hijackers taking flying lessons and nobody listened. The government knew, but could do nothing.

Since then they’ve turned it into a control coup. Think about it.
