What would you say to the man I watched hang from a window for nearly an hour before finally letting go? Or to the woman who stripped to her underwear and stood, in bare feet, on a shattered windowsill for fifteen minutes before she pushed off? Many hung on until there was no point.

Sometimes faith runs into a brick wall called reality.

Many there fought long and hard for their lives. Jumping was not an act of cowardice, but a exercise of choice of the means of their death.

That guy hanging out the window was trying to survive, his efforts didn't work out, but he tried, so that's NOT what I'm talking about. I am not critisizing the decision anyone made, I never said they were wrong or should have done this or that I JUST SAID THAT I CAN'T SEE MYSELF VOLUNTAIRLY JUMPING.
