Nadler?

Now way the fat slob would be able to scale the fence. And even if he did, there's no way the sixth floor would be able to stop him. The force would cause him to crash through the sixth and fifth down to the fourth floor.

Good grief, semole, how do you know so much about this?
Remember, God is watching YOU, too, at ALL times.

I suppose an autopsy could determine when the heart stopped beating based upon blood flow or lack thereof.

Also, see post # 179.

>People need to get things right with GOD before they die<

For anyone else contemplating taking their life, suicide is a sin. Give your troubles over to the Lord, lest they
defeat you. Our Divine Redeemeer told us to repent, to confess our sins to Him, and to change our ways, for behold! The kingdom of God is at hand! Turn not your back to His Word.

Another P.E.S.T victim bites the asphalt.

How does anyone manage to climb the fence at the 86th floor? It has razor sharp blades. I know at UT, there is the clocktower and they closed it down because there were strings of people, likely college students who would jump off the top of the tower in the 1970s. Also, Charles Whitman in 1966 shot from top of the tower, which killed 16 people.

Now that may be true! Hadn't even thought of that. Thanks.

Has anyone ever successfully jumped onto the Empire State Building???

..thanks for your unique viewpoint. ..We must keep King Kong and Superman, Spiderman and All the Superheroes off that floor. :))

Exactly! Those "superheroes" are just interfering with our daily lives for obscure "moral" reasons. Sheesh!

You're travelling around 200 mph when you hit, and by the time any sensation of pain can reach your brain, your brain is gone.

Wow. Never thought of it that way. I guess that would be true. Horrible!

There are no loop holes in the law of gravity.

Instant death on a sixth floor landing, is debatable, since he had only plummeted 80 floors at that time.

[F.J. Mitchell]

News flash, actually....oops make that a news smash.

With the exception of the sixth floor landing, where the entire roof must be replaced before the next rain.
