I saw this advertised it, but wasn't home last night so missed this. I think this was the doco at least. Can't even remember what channel was meant to be showing it.

I remember seeing home videos and news broadcasts of that day so many times over. The story of the 'jumpers' always stuck with me. Edited by cough.cool, Sep 15 2009, 06:53 PM.

I remember seeing home videos and news broadcasts of that day so many times over. The story of the 'jumpers' always stuck with me. You've seen the documentary, yeah? Question, since the story of the jumpers stuck with you - did you notice the supposed 'there were no jumpers cover up'? I'm just asking, because I never noticed it, and it's something about the day that has also always stuck out in my mind.

What's weird is my understanding of those who jumped wasn't realized 'til.. very recently, actually. Every time I looked back on that day I remembered the planes, the towers, the pentagon, etc. But for some reason the knowledge of those trapped on the floors never really crossed my mind. It's as though I never realized that there was no escape for them. Needless to say, it's not something you're gonna find on your homepage news. I think most people don't wanna face that kind of reality, they don't wanna think about that kind of stuff. That’s why knowledge of such happenings are so stifled. And those who do face it, who imply their curiosity towards those kinds of things are the ones who will never forget it. I know I won’t.
