This is also one of the worst things I've seen.
To know that by jumping you'll probably have a less painful death.

It is horrible watching someone die. I always feel compelled to watch though, out of respect.

Just a shame the rescuer died an untimely death too :(
 
i think most of the people that "jumped" out of the twin towers were probably pushed or accidentally shoved out in the fight for air. its amazing what people do in situations like that to survive:(

horrible situation to be in which ever way you look at it.

i dont know of anything that can top what has already been shown. horrible :(

Technically, suffocation from smoke would be "easier" of the two. However.. my "picture moment" also involves jumpers on 9/11, but this time, the other side of the story. It's the picture by Shannon Stapleton of Reuters with rescue workers removing body of Mychal F. Judge - the Chaplain of the Fire Department of New York from "jumper zone". Father Judge was administering last rites to a firefighter who was killed by one of the jumpers from the tower, shortly after the priest too was struck by a body of another jumper and consequently killed.

It was speculated some time later that people saw firetrucks and square patterns below and thought there were nets in place and jumped in hope to, somehow, be rescued. But to me, that picture, of firemen carrying their priest killed by hysterics of people they tried to rescue has massive impact. Similar to that footage of F1 accident in 1973, it underlines all the best and all the worst elements of human kind in one simple snapshot.

Afternoon folks. Been feeling a bit melancholy since the middle of this week. Think watching my two favourite episodes of X-Files had something to do with that (The Field Where I Died & Closure). Just thought I'd share some pictures I've collected over the last 2-3 years.

Feel free to add some of your own :)

This is the wife of a US Marine who was killed in the War in Iraq, She asked if she could sleep next to him for one last time, and the Marines made as good a bed for her as they could, she played music on the laptop which reminded her of her husband until she fell asleep.

As she was falling asleep, the Marine Standing guard asked her if she would like him to stay there. Her reply was " I think that's what he (her husband) would have wanted."

That first picture would have had an effect if they weren't americans. As soon as I read that, I don't know, it was just like total removal of sympathy.

If it was a picture of an Iraqi, and an american came on and said that, id feel the same degree of contempt for you as a human being.

You cant blame the soldiers for their politicians decisions, they are just the poor ******** who have to put their lives on the line.
