Thanks for posting these. It's a view that isn't available anymore.

Just last night I was thinking of those poor souls who leaped. I wondered if any of them had the slightest hope of surviving the fall.

It's more than obvious from these pictures that none of them had even the slightest hope. They were far too high above the city to even entertain that thought.

They jumped for only one reason. They calculated that their inevitable death would be less painful than from choking and burning.

What a sad choice.

I can't imagine the horror these people felt....God rest their souls.

Disregard the people who are against your posting this. No one made them open it and read it.

They obviously read it because the headline grabbed their attention and they read it out of "morbid' curiosity.

I am in NO WAY against the publishing of what has been done to us, if for no other reason than to counter the liberal "anti-war" idiots.

NEVER FORGET!

"They calculated that their inevitable death might be less painful . . ."

I'm not sure how much calculating was going on. I think in many cases it was a sheer animal avoidance of pain right now , not a calculated decision on how to die. Even something is ordinary as a speck in the eye can cause unbearable pain, so if you are burning up or choking on fumes, you jump, you don't even think about it.
