at one point (before the 2nd plane hit or towers collapsed), fiefighters where in like this first floor area kinda basement area, there was this constant but not rythmic thud sound happening. one guy asked what that sound was, another said that was bodies of people jumping. i couldnt watch much more after that.

The thing that always sticks in my mind about the jumpers is this. You go to work on a beautiful morning, just another day at the office, and a few hours later you are leaning out a window thinking that jumping 80 stories to your death is a better alternative than burning to death. And then actually doing it. Wow.
