According to them, Norberto was a devout Catholic who was 100% against suicide. They do not believe that he would have jumped on his own accord. They are of the belief that an explosion, or the smoke/fire caused him to fall, not leap, from the window.
During the program, the reporter showed the entire frame of pictures of his fall. It was not, as some tried to claim, a peaceful, resigned fall. He was fighting it the entire time! You can tell this man was scared, fighting against gravity and not resigned to the fate he was handed.
I'm pretty well offended at the press who made people who saw this picture believe it was a peaceful suicide. I am also pretty well ticked off at the press that showed this picture, propagated that impression, then refused to show the pictures of Norberto after the 9/12/01.
After listening to his family, listening to the love they had for him, the sadness that will never go away at his loss, this picture disturbs me more now then when I first saw it on 9/11.
God Bless Norberto, his family and all of those who lost their lives today, 8 years ago.
Damn those who have forgotten.
No one who jumped committed “suicide”, it was a choice, do I burn to death, or jump?
