I have a great fear of heights; jumping out of one of those buildings from the height that those poor people did...my worst nightmare, literally! They must have been terrified out of their minds.

My thoughts too. But the thought of suffocating or burning also terrifies me.

Ditto your comments.

The fear of falling off a ladder at your home is a different experience than falling from a great height such as out of an airplane or off a tower. At terminal velocity the wind roars in your ears like thunder. It is the air rather than the ground that dominates the experience of free fall. Even under negative circumstances free fall is all about controlling your destiny. There is an aspect of liberation to that.
