Some friends jumped together. I believe some of the people who jumped were on fire. They wanted the pain to stop and when they realized nobody could reach them and saw their other co-workers on fire, it was a panic situation, adrenalin triggered a flight response, a basic instinctual response.

I just remember the abject horror I felt when I first saw people jumping/falling. Before that, I'd seen the first tower right after it was hit and the flames were just so all-encompassing that we on the street knew that people died in there, although I tried to convince myself that it was too early for most people to be at work.
But it wasn't until I saw fellow humans tumbling out of the sky -- from 1/4 of a mile in the sky -- that the reality of death that morning really clicked in my head.
