Reply #69: I think the people who fell from the building had such a profound impact on me

I mean without a doubt 9/11 moved all of us in someway. But for those who fell from the building - these were people who had 2 choices: Either jump out of the building and die or burn in a fiery death. I appreciate how none of the death cerficiates of those who died in the WTC refer to them as 'suicides'. Someone committing suicides knows what they are doing well before it happens. For many of those who fell from the buildings these were probably split decisions of 'which way to I prefer to die'.

Wiki has a great article about one of the most famous photographs of those who fell from the WTC

The photo still disturbs me. And I read where at the newly opened memorial, there is a section about those who fell from the WTC including photographs - it is a separate viewing section that warns people of the graphic contents they are about to see.
