Columbus, Ohio (CNN)Donald Trump said Monday that he witnessed people jumping out of the Twin Towers on 9/11 from the view in his apartment.
"Many people jumped and I witnessed it, I watched that. I have a view -- a view in my apartment that was specifically aimed at the World Trade Center," Trump said Monday during a rally in Columbus, Ohio.
"And I watched those people jump and I watched the second plane hit ... I saw the second plane hit the building and I said, 'Wow that's unbelievable,'" Trump continued.
At least 200 people are believed to have jumped from the Twin Towers after planes struck the towers in an attack that claimed more than 2,600 lives.
The Republican presidential contender lives in Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan, more than four miles away from where the World Trade Center towers once stood. Trump has lived in the 5th Avenue tower since before the attacks, according to media reports pre-dating 9/11.
The Trump campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment asking how Trump witnessed people jumping out of the Twin Towers from more than four miles away.
Trump on Monday also dug into his claim that Muslims in New Jersey celebrated the terrorist attacks on 9/11, a claim that has been widely debunked by multiple fact-checkers.

Does anyone else remember the sounds those bodies made when they slammed into the roof/hood of a parked car after falling 70+ stories? Could hear it in the background on CNN and Fox News that day.
I don't remember which commentator said it (on CNN or Fox) but they pointed out the loud SLAMMING noise in the background was falling bodies hitting cars.
It's been a long time, my memory isn't what it used to be. I used to remember who that commentator was. I hate getting older and losing my memories. Even these.
There is a video called “9/11: In Memorium, New York City” and one of Mayor Guiliani’s assistants talks in the video about the “loud pop” of the bodies hitting the cement.
I'm 99% certain that was the interview I saw back on 9-11-01. Guiliani's name was in my head earlier when I was typing that response. I almost said it was Guiliani who said it in that post but deleted it because I didn't trust my memory. Now at least I know why I had Guiliani's name stuck in my head, thanks!
I think this also goes to prove the point that the further we get from Sept. 11th, 2001 that people's memories change. That's certainly true in my case anyway. I can remember the high-level context, but not the low level details all the time. Breaks my heart that I'm forgetting these things.
You’re funny.
There never was a video.
Trump lied.
You’re lying about what I said.
No wonder you like the man.
Lied about it hat, sakic?
People dancing?
They did.
You can’t prove they didn’t.

Oopsies, another report of people dancing..
Contemporaneous to events.
Gee.. I note you are trying to move the goalposts again.
The claim was “ nobody” danced and that everyone who remembers the dancing were lying.
All this from a guy who believes we have a "free press".
Free to lie maybe
Yeah, I think he's also a RATagandist.
I heard it reported on the radio that the Somalians in Seattle were whooping it up in celebration.
Onyx, this is the video of the jumper I described. Watch at 1minute, 20 seconds.

You don’t even understand about proving a negative.
Prove you didn’t murder someone in high school.
For the 7th time, the issue is not about anyone dancing.
It’s about Trump’s claim about what he saw on television. No one else saw it.
Everyone knows the truth. Trump made a mistake and Trump will never admit any mistakes.
First it was a mistake. Because of his pomposity it is now a lie.

You’re odd.
You keep posting links that prove me right.
Still no mention of the fairy tale video.
Uh, the claim initially was “nobody danced” and that those who recalled the dancing were liars.
The links show that people most certainly did dance.
