Never Forget!!

I'm so glad you did a post on this. I haven't thought a lot about the jumpers but it definitely has crossed my mind on more than one occasion. When you think about it, it is obvious that the smoke and heat forced them to find refuge.
The whole concept is extremely horrifying. I also think that anyone who saw the jumpers and especially the ones that saw them land or saw them up close had to be traumatized by it. ...Dee
