Title: The Falling Man
Post by: Old Cruser on September 26, 2016, 09:52:34 PM

We are just watching this documentary of the 9/11 horrors.
People in the Twin Towers lived the horror of staying in the burning Tower with no escape death would be smoke inhalation or burning - or jump out of a window and fall to their death.

It's a harrowing documentary all based on fact with real footage.

Some condemned the pictures taken and the coroners office denied anyone 'jumped'

I've sat contemplating which of the two ways I would prefer  to die and I can't make my mind up.

Anyone after giving this some serious thought can say which their preference would be?

I don't think I would have jumped. More than likely would have died from the smoke whilst trying to 'get out'.

Sad thing is, 200 or more people are believed to have 'fell to their deaths' !!
