this national geographic doc

said they realized that this might be it for them and they all shook hands and went up
It's on Disney plus and I'm watching it now

Some of this footage is insane

The 2nd plane hitting from the close up street view is insane

I can't imagine how that moment must of felt

Going from thinking the first one was a tragic accident to probably not even being able to begin to try and comprehend what's happening

I had a hard time comprehending how someone could come to that decision to jump, but in case it provides any of y’all solace, they may not consciously have made that choice

what I mean is, the human body is predisposed to react to certain things and avoid certain dangers. For example, when you touch a hot stove, your hand automatically moves away you don’t have to tell it to. So some scientists theorize that those people in the towers, it was so hot and there was so little oxygen, there bodies “jumped” without really thinking about it because our body’s first instinct is to get oxygen and get away from the heat that was in those buildings.
This is the right answer if anyone is ever wondering how people ended up jumping. I remember reading somewhere that the speed at which they were falling the human eye/brain would not have comprehended anything by the time the body hits the ground and basically gets pulverized. It's a quick death that the person won't even feel/understand what happened. Whereas unless you pass out from the smoke first burning alive is probably one of the most painful things because you don't die right away.

Listen to 9/11 operataors instead of taking ur own actions brehs. U do know about 4-10 people survived from above impact and gott to safety. When shyt hits the fan get the fukk out and live to see another day and tell a story. U think these guys could’ve slid down a 112 floor building above jetfuel :mjlol::mjlol:

just read up on that.. didn't think anybody above the impact point survived.. by yeah 4 people in the 1st tower did.


Dude saved one guy and they both hauled ass to the bottom floor... got out just a finish minutes before the collapse :wow:

why you gotta get all extra with it?
all the mayhem going on at the time and there you are smashing windows.
trying to tie shyt together and what not...
that's how you get people killed.

The cloth rope would’ve been extremely risky considering the strong wind speed going on at the top of the Towers. Some of those among the trapped lost their footing attempting to climb from one floor to the next in a similar manner. Hell, that’s pretty much why most of the “jumpers” didn’t actually jump or intentionally committed that…They simply just lost their footing or accidentally fell due to poor visibility from the intense smoke.

this national geographic documentary is a tough tough watch :wow:

how can you negotiate with the taliban :dahell:
The United States has killed many innocent people and just chalked it up as collateral damage.

One can ask how can anyone negotiate with the United States.

In one of the episodes one of the dudes who made it out said that the smoke was making everyone so sleepy that many doze off into unconsciousness, but he heard a voice to wake up and he made it out

so i hope that for those folks it was jst a peaceful sleep then death
