Why? Do you want people to forget it happened? Its a painful reminder to all, not to forget.

My two cents, your mileage may very.

Great video!  Its been awhile since I've seen those 9/11 scenes...

The jumper footage is just fine.

Let it be a reminder of what was going throuth their minds.    When it came to choices they rather die falling rather then burning to death.

If you were given only those 2 choices which would you choose?

I would not have jumped.  I would have burned to death trying to find a way out.  My religion dictates I do that.  Kill yourself and you go to hell.

Jumper footage should damn well be shown.

Those Godless bastards gave innocent people no choice: Burn alive or jump to your death.

The American Sheeple damn well need it repeatedly burned into their tiny little collective herd brains since they have the attention span of a gnat.

Would you feel the same if that was your parent or child jumping and then being set to music by some stranger?  If so, that's cool for you.  I know people who will never forget what happened and they prefer NOT to see their relatives flaling through the air.  2 big ass scyscrapers falling down reinforces the point well enough.

The jumper footage is some of the most powerful images of that attack, really breaks it down to a personal level to me.  It brings a tear to my eyes everytime I see that, I can't imagine what it truly was like for those people.  People forget about how horribly these people died, just seeing the buildings fall is impersonal, it doesn't hit as hard that there are people dying in just the building footage.  Seeing people plummet from 100 stories up the greatest image of what this attack was really like.

I say keep it in.  If it was my dad or brother or what have you falling I'm sure it would be painful as hell, and maybe I wouldn't want to see it or have it shown.  But still, it needs to be shown for those who didn't really feel the blow of this attack...

That is an excellent video IMO

Don't show jumper footage.

Don't show the airplane hit.

Don't show bodies.

etc...


Dude, that happened.  You weren't there, so you don't know what you would have done.  Maybe that guy wasn't committing suicide, he just said "fuck it, I'm gonna die anyway, this could be fun."  Maybe not.  But don't edit that crap.  People need to see it to remember what our people went through that day.  

Me, it makes me want to kill terrorists.

...strange response to a question about something you posted.

Maybe you have a history of stirring stuff up around here, I don't know.

Anyway, I'm a Christian, and frankly don't know much about other religions.  I was simply curious --  no flames from me.

The troll is right. Maybe we shouldn't show the footage of jumpers. After all, why would those people ever want America to remember what happened on that day? Especially if it was somebody you knew? I'm sure they wouldn't want us to be reminded of their sacrifice in such a brutal way.

C'mon people, go back to sleep. There's nothing to see here.

It should be shown EVERY DAMN DAY, jumpers and all.  It really puts the War on Terror into the proper perspective.


BTW, the people who jumped, jumped because they were starting to burn from the heat of the Jet Fuel.

Fantastic video - thanks

Yes, seeing the jumper was disturbing...that's the intent. Seeing a man plunge to his death
should be unpleasant. It makes me sad, but it makes me angry!!! I would think this anger
would be directed at the terrorist, and NOT at the makers of the film. WTF?
Hell, maybe it's me whose got it all wrong.

The most disturbing parts were of course the jumper (God rest his/her soul) and the image of the childs doll laying in the ruins, sucks.

BUT

It's real, it's what happened, and we need to remember that so that we remember each and every day exactly what our troops are fighting for right now. I think a lot of the liberals tend to forget things like these images and that's why they're so pussy footed about the war the country doing what it has to do to be safe.

I have to agree 100%,  none of that footage should have never stopped being shown


Eidted to add:

this is the best way to make sure that their memory didnt fade away like the media wants it to.
Everyone who died that day, the military personel that have died to avenge their deaths, has been swept under the carpet...................In my opinion they want you to forget that 11SEP01 ever happened, and that Al Queda is not the threat, and that George Bush is.
The video is the proof of what really did happen that day, ugly as it is......it did happen.

Now deal with it..................and Never Forget

The poor people who jumped aren't "going to hell".  THEY WERE IN HELL.  They jumped out of hell to have a few more seconds of consciousness and life.  I'm sure all of them were praying on the way down.
