This article has flaws, but at least it acknowledges the jumpers. The mainstream media want to blackout this story.
There is a legal doctrine called depraved heart murder. When a kidnapper is so depraved as to torture his victim to the point where death becomes preferable to continuted agony, the kidnapper is legally responsible for the death as a homicide. That is what happened here - the jumpers were murdered as surely as those who died in the towers.
Never, never, never forget.

Yes, all who fell were murdered by the Islamic terrorists, regardless of whether they fell involuntarily, jumped willingly hand in hand, or were pushed out by others behind them desperate to escape the searing heat and smoke. All I know is that it was a very very bad scene up there, much worse than some can comprehend or even imagine. It's a mental monster those who witnessed it, either on tv or in person, have to deal with in their own way.
I have a 6 hour tape of different newscasts from that day, in the words of the cameraman who shot some of the jumper footage shown on Univision that day, "..muy miserable.." always sticks with me.
