It's not clear that all jumped to their deaths (though some clearly did - my brother was an eyewitness to a couple who held hands and jumped and seperated on their way down).
I think some (maybe most) who appear to have jumped blacked out from the intense heat and just fell out the windows.
We will never know, really.

Damn. WTC pictures hit me every time.
If I'd left Jersey City to go to work 10 minutes earlier, I would have gotten to the WTC around the same time as the first plane hit.

That is just so touching. [That sounds so trite, but words fail me.] It's sad, too, to think of them trying to give each other courage but then to be separated.
