NEW YORK Three years later, they remain open questions, and many people wonder if firm answers would lead to more pain or less, to practical lessons for society or to simply a spectacle for the morbidly curious. . How many people jumped from the upper floors of the World Trade Center on Sept. 11? . Why did so many more people jump from the north tower than the south? . What floors did they come from? . Who were they? . The attack on the World Trade Center was one of the most observed catastrophes in history, and those who fell or dropped from the towers were, briefly, its most public victims. They emerged one or two at a time from a blanket of smoke and fire that rendered mass death virtually invisible. Nearly all the others killed that day - whether high in the towers, on board the hijacked airplanes or deep inside the Pentagon - were beyond the sight of survivors and witnesses. Those who came through the windows of the towers provided the starkest, most harrowing evidence of the desperate conditions inside.

It is still not clear to me why we as a nation are not united in wanting to obliterate anyone who sympathized with or supported this depravity.
I am puzzled with you.
yep.
I was flipping channels the other night and Jack van Impe who claims to be a "walking Bible" said he had read the koran and it was all about "peace". On another show he said "he really admired the muslims because of their religious fervor".
Adolph Hitler had fervor, and 55 million people are dead because of it.
Having grown up twenty minutes outside of NYC--I believe they "jumped". It could not possibly be any other way. They took fate in their own hands and would be proud to do so. It would be the American "city" way. Pay no attention to the foolish protestors in the NYC streets during the GOP convention. Ninety-nine percent of them emmigrated for the day.
Those poor souls that jumped or fell didn't kill themselves, those mutts murdered them.
The sight of people jumping out is very horrifying. I noticed many of them did jump out of the North Tower. I do not recall seeing anyone jumping out of the South Tower. They probably jumped because it was very hot inside and some thinking the tower was going to collapse immediately.
The days afterward were surreal, as any NYC Freeper could attest. People walking around like zombies. The most indelible images, other than the actual attack, were the thousands of posters of the "missing" that went up all over the city soon afterward. All those smiling faces of so many young people, the desperate hope of the families putting them up, and our knowledge in the next day or two that there were not going to be any surivivors in the rubble. I am not at all certain that even an Eternal Hell is sufficient punishment for the Islamofascist killers.
There is proof of some "jumping"....we have a gal here in the Seattle area (Tami Michaels) who was on the 35th floor of a hotel across the street with her husband. She saw about 100 people go by.....and some, she said were holding hands....which tells me....they jumped together. She said, she even made eye contact with one.....her eye witness account was also used in Congressional testimony. She and her husband also took video.....
welcome to free republic.
Yeah, right, the "Queer Guy with a Straight Eye-Psychic" a walking Bible...LOL...and John Kerry is a right-winged conservative, with a chest full of medals and a jacket full of ropes.
Just look at the pictures of those killers posted on the thread. I can't believe any normal American would not want the chance to strangle them with his bare hands.
We are in World War IV. When is America going to wake up and realizw that?
The Russians seem to be coming to this fact before America does.
PS: I grew up in Akron, OH and we would go to Hinkley to see the buzzards return each year.
There was absolute proof of jumping. They jumped, they did not stumble or fall. You don't see the pictures, because the main-stream media thought it was too horrific for us all to see. IMHO, each and everyone person should see how horrible it was. However, their families need not be questioned about it. It is horrible to see an anonymous person facing such death. It does not seem right to approach their loved-ones for the gruesome details.
wow - powerful picture! can I use it?
"England is permitting a publicly advertised Islamofascist rally celebrating the 9-11 attacks."
Wonder if they'll feel as celebratory when (God forbid!) something similar to 9/11 or Breslen happens in England?
The brave people on board flight 93 made a choice too. Die now or die 30 minutes later and take even more innocent lives with them. They made the right and courageous choice.
Talking stones??? I've heard it all now! This allah dude must have had some good drugs.
