How many jumped from the WTC towers?

[ErnBatavia]

The media has seemed to suppress this (how many poor souls that felt compelled to jump from the burning towers) for whatever reason.

I, for one, would like to be armed with some sort of number who leaped to their certain deaths. I have a feeling, due to the "Vietnamization" taking place now, that this tidbit of data might come in handy.......right about the time some clown gets my '5 across the lips'.

Anybody have an idea as to the numbers involved here? Thanks in advance.

How many jumped from the WTC towers?

What are you, some kind of nut case that gets off on the numbers ?

The answer is TOO MANY. It was indeed tragic watching the news footage of these poor soals jumping ... leave it be.

Yes, this site takes a long while to load . . . and a long while to watch. It is very definitely worth the wait!

I thank you so much for sharing. And I encourage everyone here to take the time to watch this: here it is again It should be forwarded to anyone who even dares to question why we're bombing those B*******.

>> Father Mike died of a heart attack while ministering last rites to a firefighter. <<

WRONG. Father Judge was killed when a jumper landed on him.

Your last name Jennings?

First time in his life it ever happened!

You are indeed a sick puppy.

I'm agast that ANYONE could fine ANY humor in this tragic death.

I, too, must disagree with you. The members of the liberal media think nothing of pasting photographs of any Afghan child with a band-aid all over the front page of the newspaper in order to garner sympathy for the terrorists. America should see, must see, the photographs of those who jumped, and photographs of the torn limbs and torsos of all the innocents who had their lives cut short. Such photographs would be painfully graphic, to be sure, but in seeing those photographs, America will not forget.

Thanks. The facts are very confused. Supposedly the choppers were ready to pick up people but did not. At any rate, this was a disaster caused by evil criminal minds.

I think what horrifies us about the jumpers is the terrible choice they had to make: be burned to death or jump. They were forced to participate in their own murder

You are absolutely right. I hadn't thought of it that way, and now it makes me even more sick...didn't think I could be more outraged.

Thank you. All of us need to keep these sentiments alive.

"...photos should NOT be covered up..."
============================================

DITTO!!!!
If more American Remains were shown on these Precious Major Media....The Fire Of Patriotism would grow to an Inferno.
That's just something that the Dewey-Trained, Mass-Media, Money-Holders just can not allow...

...that just might upset the UN....

This is an e- mail I got from a friend a couple of days after the attack.

This terrorist attack is really hitting close to home. Here are three stories from people we know!

(I edited out the first two storys and include the third story because it is relevant to this thread.-Tom)

It's late and as you can see, I've been through a lot. Please excuse the spelling.... This is the ----NOTE version: I am okay. I was in a meting on the 39th floor of the WTC1 at 8:30 on 9/11/01. The explosion hit and we ALL thought it was an earthquake.

Once it was established it was NOT an earthquake but some kind of explosion from above, we started to climb the stairs down... There was one man on the 30th floor in a wheel chair. An obese woman who couldn't walk and because of the smoke in the stairwell she had to stop and hold up traffic ... it was utterly chaotic, but immeasurably under control. No one panicked. NEVER did it get wild.... People took their time and worked together to help and assist one another... But obviously many perished... There were 1000 decisions I made, and many were counter to what should have been done.

The only reason I'm alive is because the lord told me and showed me how to get out. Seriously!!! I was going to stop on floor 20 and sit-it-out until the "smoke cleared" and get out later.... I decided not to and to stay in the flow and go to the bottom of the staircase, despite the smoke and burning eyes...

There was a man in a wheel chair who was stuck in the stairwell. He could neither go up, down or get back in to the area he came from. There was an enormously fat woman who could not breath and was stuck on the 25th floor wheezing out of control. I'm sure neither ever made it out of the building...

It was pretty bad..... I watched as one man and ten seconds later a woman jumped to their deaths from the 95th floor. I said out loud; "this is NOT entertainment!!!! I am not going to watch people jump to their deaths...."(My italics-Tom)

And walked away and headed to 34th street with a friend. I then found the trains were open to Conn. and took a train to ---in Greenwich.

I stayed the night, rented a car today, Wednesday and drove to see -----in Natick (his house) and home to Beverly to see --. I am very very lucky to be alive.

Many were not so lucky. I was only a step away at any one moment... Horrible. But I am alive.

Love to all - I'm just too exhausted to write any more. Love ---.

Oh God!, I think the media is so phoney to keep this from us they are afraid that many more would support our reslove.

I know in my heart they are working agaist this nation(USA) Westin etc.If these pictures were of Afganistan we would see over and over.

I know in one way out respect this is not wholesome yet we must keep our focus and not let it get diluted. I wish we could shut down they avenues that try to shape our thinking-

Fox News Channel does more than most to give us the whole truth, but in many areas they lock step with the others. Only talk radio and the internet give us a choose to discern both sides.

911 website - very powerful images, very tearful memories of the events, very moving experience to see the faces of the victims of the terrorist attacks. Thanks for sharing this. We must NEVER FORGET!

[missanne]

Yes, I heard that as well. The Chaplain was giving last rites to the firefighters going in and a body slammed him and that is how he got killed.

Here is a link to a site that has the Univision video clips of the WTC jumpers. This is a pretty twisted web site so be warned. They have pictures and about 5 video clips of the jumpers.

god help me, but it's a titanic task not to hate every swarthy one of them...

I know what you mean ... I don't even know if it's a task worth the effort :-(
