Thank God your daughter had someone who was thinking straight convince her to do the right thing and save her own life. In retrospect, it is still chilling to hear dispatchers tell people to stay in place because help is coming.

I believe the message of Jesus was not “do not commit acts of violence” but “do not commit unprovoked and unjustified acts of violence.” The former doesn’t actually make any sense, especially if we note that Jesus himself wasn’t exactly a pacifist. Driving the moneylenders from the temple, for example, was not a non-violent act.

Er, moneylencers/moneychangers. Not sure why I made that mistake. :P

"I believe the message of Jesus was not do not commit acts of violence but do not commit unprovoked and unjustified acts of violence. I agree.

I feel as you do. Till the day I die, I will be haunted by those images and staggered by the sheer horror and panic of what those poor souls went through. I used to commute through The Trade Center on the Path trains when I worked in NYC. I was a construction worker and I worked at Battery Park City in the ‘80’s. The highest up I ever was was 80 stories(about 800 feet) and still those two massive towers loomed over me.

“venturer’’ put up a post on another thread about this and I'd suggest you all look at it. To save you the trouble heres what he said: ’ I've been fighting fires for 25 years and that wasn't suicide. When that heat gets behind you, you go. You don't make that decision it's made for you''. I don't kow about anyone else but that put it in horrifying perspective for me. God Bless all of those poor souls.

All due respect but I find this account hard to believe. Falling at over 120 miles an hour from 1,500 feet to a concrete pavement and all that is left of a human body is a large red spot(may God have mercy on their souls). I worked across the Trade Center for years. Trust me , had you ever seen those towers you’d know such a thing as described would have been impossible.
