Did Y’all Know The Infamous “Falling Man” 9/11 Guy was Black?

[cozy carl]

This the one on Hulu? I’m bout to watch it tonight.

Yea, it's called 9/11 one day in America​

 

[cozy carl]

I've watched a few docs on 9/11, a lot of people said the jet fuel traveled up and down the stairwells and elevator shafts. That plus the flames and smoke, it was impossible to escape if you were above the impact zone. One person got severely burned from a fire ball shooting down an elevator shaft. You have to remember they chose cross country flights because they'd have the maximum amount of jet fuel in them. The crash plus the large amount jet fuel meant max devastation/chaos.

They said when the first plane hit, the jet fuel shot through the elevator shaft & exploded & killed everyone near it​

9/11 was WILDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

had me watching the tv the whole day like this

 

[UberEatsDriver]

Had no idea

I been knew simply because it looked like a black man when he was falling and the documentary hinted that he was

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

i would've grabbed the wall and slid down.
let the friction of my body against the building slow me down.
might bust my ankles but it's better than jumping.

give up, brehs...

20 years ago and this shyt still feels too much

I remember watching a doc and I was disgusted by the one family who was acting disgusted that the guy “committed suicide”. I believe it was some Latino family that said it couldn’t be their son because he “committed suicide”.

Like uhh, you wanted the guy to stay there and fukking get burned alive???

Also some of the people who committed suicide didn’t technically commit suicide. Many of them were pushed because of the heat

 

[UberEatsDriver]

i don't know what that gif means so i really can't respond.

Gif - “boy if your don’t shut yo ass up””

Or “boy if your don’t sit your ass down”

One of them

Exactly. People asking why didn’t this happen etc need to watch some of these docs. The people who survived being in those buildings tell you firsthand how hard is was to even breathe left alone exert energy running around doing xyz


Also looking at the ball of fire after the impact, you can see it impacted several floors, it wasn’t just contained to a handful of floors. Those poor people man. They all knew they were gonna die that day

 

[CourtesyFlush]

Well I know they couldn’t get down. My point was if I was going to die I’d want to try to make it to the roof and whatever happens happens...I wouldn’t have jumped because that’s certain death. I’d want to give myself every second of a chance at rescue or survival.

No doubt I feel ya man

Yeah, and I wouldn’t even put those that jumped in the category of suicide. Suicide involves the person thinking “I want to die…so I will kill myself”. The jumpers mindset was (presumably) “I don’t want to die…but jumping would be less painful and quicker than burning to death”.

Facts I remember a witness saying he saw a lady fall off and she had a ghost expression like she chose to fall over being burned.

 

[DrunkenNovice]

That phone call of the white dude in the tower as it collapsed

You reminded me of it just now. I forgot all about it

I caught hell on here for Callin dude an a$$hole for how he was talking to the operator

 

[Peter Popoff]

I wouldn't want my death to be paired to some mid 80s Saturday afternoon special.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's........

I would had fought to survive or die trying. I would made folks go on the other side of the building where there's no fire, make us all use our clothes as a rope, tether down to a window below the broken area of the building, smash through the window, get as many people down with me , and rundown the stairs.

My nikka, you stupid.

That female fighter pilot who said she knew going up to try to put down one of the planes was a suicide mission made me pause it. For those who haven't watched it, she said to load the missiles on to the aircraft takes 20 minutes. They didn't have time to waste. Her fellow pilot going up with her said he'd take out the cockpit with his jet, she said and I'll take out the tail with mine. They were too late to stop any planes but goddamn

Name of doc and is it that Spike Lee one that's on HBO?

Thanks

9/11 One Day in America. It’s a 6 part documentary on Hulu. I tried to watch the Spike one but it was all over the place to me. Didn’t make it through the first episode
