I am not rying to be morbid, but the thought of the terror that the trapped people must of felt just slams me. Every time I hear the Liberal News rant about the poor starving Taliban children I just think about what it must of been like to fall from one of these towers.


So today, I went looking for some photos and they made a real big impression on me. I hope that in some way it helps to galvinize your feelings about this matter. I know it has mine.

NEVER FORGET!

I am not trying to be morbid

But you are.I see no purpose in this post other than morbidity.

On the top. Imagine trying to be rescued by "chopper

Actually the doors to the top of the building were locked by the port authority. Nobody had a chance to get rescued.

No galvanization necessary, nevertheless, thank you. I have shuddered to think also-particularly as my cousin was on the 92nd floor--it's personal, and personally speaking: I will NEVER FORGET. V's wife.

...i think you exercised poor judgement (as well as poor taste) by posting this. we all know how tall the wtc was, and i'm sure have all thought of what it must of been like to have been one of the unfortunate ones who decided to jump (rather than burn to death). you might post this message on du. they're the ones who need their feelings "galvanized"...

Very Big Bump. Thank you for posting these. They are keepers.

Whoa! Thanks for the pics.

For the life of me I can't understand jumping out the window. I just couldn't bring myself to give up so completely, to be so without hope or faith that I would give up and take a plunge like that. I tried to put myself mental in their situation, but I would rather die fighting to get out than to jump.

[Stentor]

OK by me. (not that you need it )

Thanks for posting these. It's a view that isn't available anymore.

Just last night I was thinking of those poor souls who leaped. I wondered if any of them had the slightest hope of surviving the fall.

It's more than obvious from these pictures that none of them had even the slightest hope. They were far too high above the city to even entertain that thought.

They jumped for only one reason. They calculated that their inevitable death would be less painful than from choking and burning.

What a sad choice.

A view towards the river

That exact photo was over my desk the 4 years I was in college, to alleviate my homesickness.

This post is in terrible taste.

YOU are Seeking inappropriate attention to what must've been a horrific final few moments for innocent AMERICANS attacked by our enemy..

Spend your time doing something meaningful, this isn't something to exploit.

I hope this thread is pulled.

[Frank Grimes]

thanks for posting. there are some people out there who may have never realized or are starting to forget the true horror of what happened that day. People keep talking about getting back to normal, but I think we as a country need to remain angry that this was inflicted upon us.

[Texas2step]

V, thanks for the pics. Great shots. Probably would get better exposure with a less morbid title. I too will never forget.

[neutrino]

Thank you for posting this. I try to imagine the horror that those poor people endured - and then, in terror and desperation, jumped...to a quick death, instead of being cooked alive.

And then people prattle about the "innocent" in Afghanistan. Never forget. Never forgive!

[AppyPappy]

I'd rather see a post of the view of a Taliban soldier just as the B-52 bombs started impacting around him.

Thanks for posting these. I sometimes think, although I try not to, of the horror these people went through. The A wall of flames behind you, colleagues burnt or maimed or killed, and your only other option a hopefully quicker death as you are trapped against the outside windows. And I can't imagine the actual impact and result.....

And the media wants to show us closeups of the poor tent people in the desert? Please.

I do not mean any disrespect to those who lost loved ones, or to those who went through this horror. But I do think of them, and sorrow.

And never forget. I will never ever forget.

Univision, the Spanish-language cable channel, showed video of about 6 or 7 people falling. Those scenes were censored from American TV. I think they should have been shown to us Americans because they were horrible scenes and I think they would cause more of the liberals to support the war.

I've been at the top of the WTC before and you can bet the thought of falling from there is scary. It's hard enough to be up there and look down at the ground and I'm not normally afraid of heights. I can't begin to imagine what those poor souls trapped up there on 9/11 must have been feeling. At least I was able to get on an elevator and leave when I was ready to go.

Let us never forget that on 9-11-01, Barbarians sacked our cities.
