well i'm a lifegaurd, and i know that when a person, or any animal for that matter, is dying or in danger of dying, the person has no control over themselves. they have a certain automatic response that just kicks in. in lifegaurding as an example, the one drowning sometimes pulls the lifegaurd underwater so that they can get above water, therefore drowning their own rescuer. so the people weren't sitting in their office chairs, thinking oh i think this building is going to fall down, i should jump out before that happens. some of them were on fire, or their floor was filled with smoke. i knew a guy who graduated from my high school who was there, working in the WTC when it happened, and he was in the 2nd tower. He was a few floors below where the plane hit, and he got out fine. but if you're burning alive, or if you can't breath, you go to where they're oxygen. it's a normal human response. i don't think half those people meant to end their lives... they were just trying to escape.

Yes, thank you for making me realize this. Just to add to it...people don't think in times of crisis...they just respond to the first thing that their mind tells them; instinct.
