That said, I have a feeling that those who jumped from the WTC likely didn't have their organs forced through their orifices, as I believe that fall was so high that their entire bodies essentially exploded.

For real. You can see at approximately 0:17 into the video that he lands on his arms.

~ If he committed suicide, maybe he should have done previous research on how to commit suicide the less painful right way, instead of the wrong most painful way.
~ Unless he wanted it that way, face death right in the face.

Dude, he died instantly. There was no pain, unless he swallowed a bug on the way down.

You don't remain intact after hitting pavement at terminal velocity.

I tend to disagree. Which doesn’t mean I think that 9/11 paramedic is lying, but a terminal velocity impact isn’t gonna reduce a body to small pieces. Likely the collapse of the towers did that.

I’d say this video is fairly similar to what a 9/11 jumper/fall victim impact looked like. He was going pretty fast.

There is little photographic evidence of 9/11 jumpers and even less video footage, but what I’ve seen is fairly similar to this. Essentially a high speed car accident, if a little more violent.

Like his mom would have said... NEVER JUMP WITHOUT YOUR HELMET!!
