Rarely seen footage of 9/11 jumpers used in Moussaoui trial
August 7, 2006Video Part 1
Video Part 2
On September 11, 2001, a pair of tourists from Seattle were able to film much of disaster at the World Trade Center from their hotel room window. The videotape they made, showing numerous victims jumping to their deaths, was used as evidence earlier this year in the case against the so-called 20th high jacker, Zacarias Moussaoui.
It is estimated some 200 people jumped to their deaths from the World Trade Center towers to escape the intense fire and smoke.

can you imagine having to jump to death to avoid burning in a fire!
i can not.
Chrismmm,
I actually was horrified when I saw this video, I had heard of people doing this during the attack on the Twin Tower’s; but in is completely different to the heart when you see something instead of just heard.
Two many people and I included was so very saddened over the whole 9/11 situation anyway. But it seems the more that is coming foreword for the eyes to see actually seems to make me sadder then I already was.
I not only have deep sorrow for the families who lost loved ones in this, but how frightened anyone must have been to commit suicide instead of burn to death; it is just to horrible for the mind to take it all in.
