Reading the Sunday Times magazine this morning, there was a long article of the victims of 9/11.
What was surprising is the way the Americans will not talk about the people who jumped. In fact they didn't jump at all as they didn't commit suicide, but were pushed by Flames, smoke etc.
It's hard to come by any facts, but there is one number which isn't confirmed as such. 104 people known to have fallen.
One Fireman said that it was like an egg bursting on the ground when they fell.
He obviously cannot get over it.
In the exhibition to be opened next year, this little known fact and pictures will be in a hidden corner of the building for those who want to see.
however, it is such a distressing tale, especially for the loved ones left behind.
One story in the magazine was about a guy who was at his 2nd day of his new job with Cantor Fitzgerald.
He had argued with his wife the night before, about something trivial I guess. In the morning a cursory goodbye and then never again! Very sad.
So far I have found it hard to read the whole article, which shows people at the window ledge and also falling.
However, an interesting article and the difficulty the interviewer had to get people to talk about it.
