I remember it occurred to me a few years later how hot the upper floors must have been. Raging fires probably raised temperatures to oven levels. People had a choice between slowly searing alive, or jumping out for a few seconds of relief from the heat.
I can’t imagine what I would’ve done in that situation. I don’t think I would’ve jumped... but how on God’s earth would I have stayed??!
I have a friend who was in the 2nd tower on 9/11 and who saw ppl holding hands & jumping to their death... this person’s boss had told them to hide under their desks!! They were like, fuck no, were outta here.
We don’t realize the mass confusion and hysteria that was happening to thousands of ppl all at once. So sad.
That was horrible to watch live and still just as bad looking at pictures 19 years later 😢

Would love to hear more about his story. How he got out, how he's doing today, any lasting mental or health effects.
