This image will haunt me forever and is what I think of when I think of September 11 or Remembrance Day as I like to call it. The man falling to his death as a result of being trapped with no other choice but to burn alive or be crushed to death.
Will we ever really know the truth about what happened on the US eastern seaboard on Sept. 11, 2001?
According to this article in Esquire, backed by USA Today, 7-8% of those who died in NYC on Sept 11th JUMPED to their deaths:

It is a shocking and saddening statistic but it really intensifies the horrors these people and the country were facing.
here is a link to a documentary made of the people who jumped to escape a worse death:

Maybe someday a full inquiry and investigation will take place and we will finally learn about the true events behind that horrible day. I don't say it often but now is as good as time as any: God bless us and God bless America!
