Did the 911 jumpers really thought they could survive a fall from that height? were they insane or what?

You are dumb, texas.

They jumped because they wanted to deal with a sudden death in lieu of being burned alive.

...

they were probably high on dope of some kind

i believe i can fly

I BELIEVE I CAN TOUCH THE SKY

no, they didn't think they would survive

they were dying of smoke inhalation so they pushed themselves further and further out the window to try and get air until they fell

What a bunch of fucking traitorous pussies.

They were insane or stupid, depending on how you look at it.

Especially when you consider the fact that a simple chair and would suffice for a safe landing.

Did you really thought that was a good sentence?

I would rather die from falling than being cooked alive.

did you?

They wanted to be a suicide statistic, and not fuel for bigots and islamaphobes

Do you think they sharted while falling?

I bet they did.

Couldn't you try to shimmy down?

How wide are those little vertical corridors of metal on the exterior?

...

When your skin crackles like pulled pork you just want it over with.

That's not Texas, that's Chile. You can see the country name when you hover your cursor over the flag.

Underrated post

...

kek, imagine sliding down almost all the way and them a beam splattering you into goo.

As well as the not wanting to suffocate/burn alive thing, I believe that many people were pushed out. There would have been crowds of people in the remaining air pockets, suffocating and pushing each other to get to the window. Ever been in a crush at a gig? It would have been just like that, they had no control over what happened to them.

...

>shimmying down a collapsing 80 story tall burning inferno with a giant gaping hole in it

Why didn't they just staple all the bits of paper in the office together into a makeshift parachute and glide to safety?

Fuck off newfag

I don't think people were as smart back then.

Why didn't they just tie all of their clothes together like a rope and climb down the towers?

>kraut in charge of getting jokes

A good question!

>we are legion

they are americans

This is the only plausible answer

>Jump from 1,362 feet building
>Expect to survive
American Education

They figured being splattered is better than burning alive.

kys

i rememeber when i jump from a 2 story building
man tht shit was CRZY

People calling Chile posters Texans is one of the oldest jokes on Sup Forums,

there's a country called "Germany"?

haha wtf!

That would take fucking hours and by the time you're a quarter of the way down the building would have already collapsed

>insane
>Trying the same thing over and over expecting a different result
No, I dont think you can press the restart button when you hit the concrete at terminal velocity

Every single jumper survived the fall, It was the sudden stop at the bottom that caused the problems.

...

Alright tough guy calm down

Why didnt they have helicopters fly up and dangle ropes for them people to grab?

The fall did nothing, it was the pavement that was there enemy

People actually did try to parachute down using tablecloths from one of the restaurants in towers.

>flying helicopters next to skyscrapers that can come down at any second

>Working in a 100 story building
>On the 90th floor
>Not having a reserve chute in a backpack in the bottom drawer of your desk

Fucking amateurs

There was a helicopter. And it didnt have a rope. And the fucking smoke was so bad it would have created issues for the helicopter pilot.

Why didn't they all just leave the building through the fire exit?

>Did the 911 jumpers really thought they could survive a fall from that height? were they insane or what?
kek'd

You either stay while knowing there is a 99.999999999999999% possibility of dying or you jump with a 99.9% possibility of dying

teebeeaych that's what I would have done. I don't think people were as smart back in the 90's though.

Why the fuck didn't some faggot build a time machine and go back and warn those people not to go to work that day

Leave it to a German to take everything seriously. That said, if I didn't know I would appreciate the explanation.

...

Firemen were impeding them by trying to go up with all their equipment while everyone else was trying to go down.

>Die instantly or burn to death
Or
>Inhale tons of smoke and trip out of a window

Why couldn't they just put something soft at the bottom like trampoline or something?
They expected people to bounce on concrete?

If you just held out your arms and legs spread-eagle for friction you could slide down at 10 mph and decelerate by tensing your joints before hitting the bottom.

Half the staircase was full of fucking fireman being all heroic and shit.

Always with these Reddit abbreviations!

Sadly, not really. What you're talking about is just that "I was merely pretending to be retarded" meme, you can look it up on Knowyourmeme. That's sheer damagecontrol when someone's been called out on their epic failure.

>

I have a hard time finding this sort of shit funny. Jackhole.

I'd prefer to go splat than burn alive

YFW they actually did bounce.

Apparently somebody did but they only warned politicians and well-connected jews at the management-level of companies based there.

San Fran mayor at the time was warned, most famously, and went public about it.

Because they wouldn't be able to get close enough to the building on account of the spinning rotors. The helicopter would have to be above the building with a 150 meter rope. Even if they somehow managed to get up into the air and into position (ignoring the smoke and the ashes), they would then have to find a way to get the guy on the rope down to the ground safely.

What they should have done is get a series of giant trebuchets to fire thousands of deployable parachutes (from the air force) at the building.

>choosing to burn alive


are you dumb?

>this thread every fucking day

Question, if a plane filled with water crashed into the towers after the terrorist attacks would it not have extinguished the fires because the water would have taken the same path as the jet fuel? This would have saved thousands of lives?

Two dudes did do that:

>The airliner that struck the South Tower struck at an angle, severing two stairwells, but it left Stairway A, the one they were using, more or less intact. A few floors below the impact, Clark and Praimnath encountered one of Clark's colleagues, José Marrero, ascending and using a walkie-talkie. Marrero had received a call from another of Clark's colleagues above, David Vera, saying his party needed help. Clark tried to convince his colleague not to ascend, but Marrero insisted on going higher to help Vera and the others. At the Skylobby on the 44th floor, Clark and Praimnath encountered a Port Authority employee who was tending to a severely injured tenant. The P.A. employee told them that all the phones were out on that floor. He asked them, when they had access to a working phone, to have someone send an EMT to care for this injured tenant.

>The phones were working in Oppenheimer's offices on the 31st floor. Clark was on the telephone for over three minutes and talked to three different people before his 911 call was understood. This call might have been the only chance for rescue workers to learn that there was a clear stairwell that the several hundred people trapped above the impact could try to use to escape. Clark described how he and Praimnath did not feel a sense of urgency, and before calling 911 they each made one brief personal call.

>en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Clark_(September_11_survivor)

That's the only plausible explanation for it. Shit was nuts.

They were high on those dank jet fumes

>yfw jews knew about it

Yea NASA is testing trampolines to save on shuttle landings. They will be droppings astronauts from geo synchronous orbit onto a giant trampoline. That will lighten up the shuttle and make it more maneuverable

Why did he take his shirt off first.

You can grab this baby for pretty cheap if you need to evacuate in a pinch.

This. Safety Squad should have implemented years ago and prevented 911.

>Germany

just stop man you're embarrassing our flag with your autistic baiting

I dont think atrampoline would be enough. Physics and stuff

Desperate is the word you're looking for. They didn't want to die from the fire.

>having a parachute when you can have a jetpack

Fucking manchildren.

From that height they surely exploded/burst on impact, no? I doubt the body would be resistant enough to that impact to be solid enough to bounce upon impact, more like a watermelon being dropped from like the 5th floor I'd imagine.

Kek

The official account is that nearly all 2,753 victims in the Twin Towers attack officially died from ‘blunt impact’ injuries.

the only deaths ruled suicide were the pilots.

You don't even need water, you could just keep crashing planes into it until it smothered the flames.

Wew. Sliced in half?

...

I survived the fall. Jumped from the 58th floor and got up and walked away.

It was really dangerous.

The jews wanted those people in the building to die

>German humor

>you're embarrassing our flag
Come on, user.

Right?

lmao

Sad. Many such cases.

this, obviously

Better way to die than being slowly crushed, burned or asphyxiated.

Shut up Indonesia, the german flag has spoken.

Fuck off faggot, those cunts deserved it. Those pricks voted in governments which have for decades bombed the fuck out off other countries. But oh no if an American dies it's suddenly a tragedy?

9/11 didn't happen so I guess we'll never no
