I have a copy of the rookie fireman documentary made when this happened and there is the sound of sickening thumps of bodies (jumpers) crashing through the glass at the WTC while the firemen are going in the lobby.
I have read that there were approxiamtely 200 +/- people who jumped that day. There was also a statistic during that first week of about 3,000 injuries. I wonder why we NEVER hear these two statistics on the news on in the articles written about Sept. 11th?

Living in CT it is not unusual to have friends who live here and work in NYC. One of our friends is still disfigured from Sept. 11, 2001. She is neither walking well or talking well yet she is still undergoing treatment. One of the very many seriously injured who will probably die early but are not listed as deaths from the attacks. We all saw the stories of some of those from the Pentagon who were also badly burned. Our Friend was lucky she was in the first tower hit. (she was much closer to my late wife). She got out early because of the heroic efforts by firefighters.
