Just imagine.

Wow. That’s a powerful image.

I actually ran across a British documentary, today, from 2006. It’s called “The Falling Man” done by Channel 4 in the UK. Very hard to watch......but it goes into this very discussion. IOW....I don’t think ANY of us would know what choices we’d make in those horrific circumstances. I’m sure many were in shock and felt helpless either way.

Wow, Travis, that's the most starkly dramatic 9/11 painting I've seen. I really like it a lot, precisely because it captures all the horror the victims must have known in their final minutes. I've long believed the media did us a grave injustice by whitewashing so much of the bloody truth of that day.

We think of the horror for those who jumped and/or burned in the towers, but also let's not forget the horror for the people on those planes. There were children on the plane that struck the Pentagon, maybe on some of the other planes too. I can imagine on an intellectual basis what it might have been like for them, but on an emotional basis all I feel is mingled fury and sadness.

A picture is truly worth a thousand words.
