i think the smoke clouded their judgement and they just jumped out in panick... or someof them actually knew they would die and did it rather than be burned to death...

i'm not really sure what you mean. do you mean were they trying to kill themselfves? well, i doubt it. i think that they were just trying to save themselves. even if the fall could kill.

i think many would have jumped for the reason to get out of the towers. others may have jumped because they felt there was no hope at all. i dont consider it attempting suicide

1) the people who jumped died BEFORE they hit the ground...at the height they jumped, with the factors involved, their bodies were killed in air from the speed of the fall
2) im a firefighter....burning to death is ALOT more painful than what they went through 3) that being said, I would have tried anything else over jumping....keep in mind, THEY DIDNT KNOW THE BUILDINGS WERE COMING DOWN. Noone, fire dept included expected the buildings to come down, or else the guys wouldn't havae been inside. 4) RIP to my 343 brothers

okay, think about it a second, you're in a flaming building and you have thoughts swimming across your head, your loved ones, your children, and your friends. on top of that, your scared out of your mind, you have destruction everywhere, no one can get out. you dont know if another plane is coming or what the hell is happening. you just want a way to escape. and you see a window. a window that serves as an escape to get away from all of those thoughts. you take it. and you know you wont make it. but you're out and at the moment, thats all that matters. so now think about? is it suicide? i wouldnt think so, just a way to escape.

it would have been suicidal to stay. that would have meant certian death, while jumping atleast provided some hope, however little it may be. it was also a way of defying terroists [though that probably wasnt why] but stating you can not kill me. i would rather kill myself than die at the hands and mercy of you.
