Re: A REAL World Trade Center Jumper
The same is true for me. I paid just to read this thread. It's been worth it. Images of the jumpers have haunted me since the day it happened. As much as the news media tried to keep them out of the broadcasts, they were still shown on some channels and on foreign news. Many, many times I have thought of those people having to make that choice and wondered if I would do the same. I have no doubt 9/11 happened, whether it was a pure terrorist attack or planned by the government, whether the buildings fell from damage or were blown up, I've never doubted that it did in fact happen.

Re: A REAL World Trade Center Jumper
ok, Its taken me a few weeks to be able to go thru all of your posts Bill, but I believe Im finally finished (unless you finally posted the pics an I havent come across them lol) Bill, I admire you but I hope to god I am never in your shoes. I was at work when this happened (I live right outside Atlanta) and we had the radio on..and the news stories started coming in...and the internet was instantly bogged down, there was no news site that would load anything, so we all went in the conference room and turned on the tv. The very first thing I saw was a jumper/faller/forced outer all I could feel was that persons desperation and it literally made me sick, I had to leave the room. (And I think that my membership here will attest to my non-squeamishnish) For the rest of the day that was the only image I had in my head. By the time I got home from work (our company actually made us leave early that day and go home to our families) they had stopped showing any of that kind of footage. Over the ensuing years I somehow managed to make myself believe I hadnt really seen what I thought I saw. I've read some of the conspiracy sites (not because I believed the stories, but because I'm the kind of person that likes to know what the crazies think) but I never once read anything about the people that fell. Recently I ran into something on the net talking about the falling man picture (that I had managed not to see back in the day) and that whole feeling I had watching the TV that morning came rushing back....and then I ran into your pictures here (dont know why I hadnt seen them before, but I hadnt) and your story, and it breaks my heart. I didnt know anyone that died, I didnt know anyone in the buildings, the few New Yorkers I knew worked over by the Empire State Building. I've watched documentaries, but I guess the ones I've watched glossed over this elite group that chose to leave this earth, maybe not of their own volition, but on their own terms. I can't tell you how enlightening your words are and how heartfelt your respect towards them comes across, just trust me when I say that is my opinion of every single thing you've shared. But hey, Im one warped woman, so that opinion may not mean much |
