Revealed: The Falling Man of 9/11

My son described people coming out of 1 WTC in the time space between the two hits. He was on Church Street, just under the huge ball of flame that pushed through when the second plane hit. He was pretty calm all things considered. When the second plane hit he ran but went back after about fifteen minutes. He watched from half a block away until the first one came down then he ran like hell again.

He said that some looked like they jumped, others fell because they couldn't hold on, some were obviously pushed by the terror stricken people behind them trying to get to fresh air and some seemed to just step out into space, not knowing in the thick smoke that they were walking through a shattered window.

Other friends and family who witnessed the same from different points said the same thing.

And the Democrats want to put 9/11 out of the publics mind saying "It was just one bad day 4 1/2 years ago. Why do we have to keep talking about it." What a vile group.

I read that the death certificates of the Tower victims stated "murder" as the cause of death...

If only one plane had been hijacked and hit one of the towers it seems possible that the cause of death of any victims would have been listed as accidental.

Yesterday I was looking for a local message board and came across some site claiming that 9/11 was a hoax. That the networks made up the footage. My husband's question was, "Where did the towers go then?" I wonder how anyone with the hoax theory would explain that one to anyone who was in New York and lived it.

The ability shared by liberals and Islamofascists to deny reality is simply stunning. That's why trying to talk to them is like talking to someone who's insane. Reality is whatever they want it to be at a given moment, with no reference to facts, evidence, or logic.

Many communities still acknowledge the 9-11 tragedy by having their "Community Day" on the Saturday closest to the September 11 date. Firefighters, Police and First Responders are honored at these ceremonies (and at regularly-scheduled church services that are held in the 9-11 time frame).

Thanks for posting. My prayers for all the victims and their loved ones. I know God reached out to them and they are in His hands.

My thoughts about the enemies of this country, both here and abroad, are unrepeatable.

[Phishsticks]

I haven't seen this footage in a good while. Had to fight the tears back.

Never ever forget.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Did that person have so much faith that he knew that God would catch him

At that moment, yes.

"His father, Alexander, a Baptist minister, has still not come to terms with the manner of his son's dying. "I can't talk about it,"

A parent's worst nightmare: their own child precedes them in death. That the son's death was so public, brutal and senseless makes the anguish all the worse. Prayers for this family. Never forget.

crashing more than one plane was probably the muzzies biggest mistake. Crash just one and it would have been dismissed as an accident.

[goodnesswins]

Has anyone seen a picture BOOK of 9-11......a book with all the faces of people who died? A book with all that is shown in what was captured on that day?

[Arkinsaw]

I don't blame anybody who jumped to avoid death by fire, and I don't think God will either.

These people did not want to die. Many may have been in the position of certain death 100% or certain death 99.99999%. People HAVE lived miraculously falling from great heights in very rare instances. Taking the 99.999999% as rationalization to escape the 100% is not suicide. Many say that it must have been a hard decision. But it may have been the only decision that had even a .00000000001% chance of survival. Some may have jumped in the only tiny chance to live. We saw a few trying the fairly impossible task of climbing down the building face only to fall, not jump. The Pope was completely correct to state that it was not suicide.

I guess this is one of the people the charming Ward Churchill believes deserved to die...

[jeremiah]

Yes we could, but the person with the guts to do so, does not have the power to make the decisions.

>>>>Excuse my ignorance, but why doesn't it hurt? Is a person who falls that far dead before they hit the pavement?>>>>

Yes, but you're dead before the brain can process the neural information it is receiving and perceive it as pain. :-(

God bless all the people who died that day. I don't think the jumpers were suicides, rather humans seeking one more moment of terror-free existence in their lives.

Yesterday I was looking for a local message board and came across some site claiming that 9/11 was a hoax.

My 14 year old nephew and I were down at Ground Zero a few weeks ago.While I was looking in the other direction,he was handed a flyer which claimed that 9/11 was a CIA/Defense Department job.

I wish that we had saved it.It was so pathetic that it was funny.

In the week following 9-11 there was another fatal plane crash near NYC, the airliner from the Dominican Republic. It was determined to be accidental....but many people suspected it was a terrorist act, but the government wanted to cover it up because the country couldn't handle another terrorist act at that point.
