If I were in the tower during 9/11. And my only option would be to jump, would riding a table down the tower and jumping on top of the table before it hits the ground break my fall?

no

No, because by the time you've reached the ground, you and the table are already falling a hundred metres per second. No matter how powerful you jump up, you can't diminish your downward velocity great enough to stop yourself from becoming a pancake, it's physically impossible.

these retards have never even tried it, holy shit
yes, you would clearly survive and no one attempting it on 9/11 is only one of the many tragedies that day

find a mattress or sofa maybe
that might have cushioned the fall at least

Yes. Do it to see for yourself. Stream it for epic win.

actually all those jumpers was fucking retards - jumping have no chance of surviving, just quick death, nothing else

taking your chance and running through some burning inferno will prolly kill you too, but at least there is a chance to survive

you'd be dead b4 you even hit the ground

Aw cool, a troll physics thread.

>maybe live: maimed, melted and eyelids burnt off in pain for the rest of your life
>quick painless way out

you didn't think this through did you?

And burning to death is probably one of the most agonizing ways to die

I would have jumped out with a folding table and kited down myself.

Nigga, they didn't jump off thinking they'd survive. They jumped tonescaoe the blazing hot inferno and suffocating gas. It was literally the only thing they could physically do to escape it. It was instinctual.

What about bracing yourself between the grooves and sliding down, kind of like how people free climb skyscrapers

ITT people who have never been in a life or death situation.

I wonder how many people work8ng in skyscrapers invested in owning a parachute after 9/11 happened. I know I would

I would've made a parachute out of clothes and use it. How would I get all the clothes? Kill the people trapped. There's no chance of them making it anyways.

no, because the sudden change in speed will generate a G-Force strong enough to break bones and blood vessels, even if you don't hit the ground directly.

i would have gathered up some trashbags, put some string around the openings of them, and held onto the strings as i jumped out the window.

I would either glide down to saftey like Mary Poppins and become a badass, or be credited with the greatest fail .gif of all time.

I don't speak Algonquin

no, because the sudden change in speed will generate a G-Force strong enough to break bones and blood vessels, even if you don't hit the ground directly. m

there is still time user

>choosing the painless, quick death makes you fucking retarded
>choosing to burn the fuck to death slow and painfully is the right call, guise

that sounds kinda cool, please draw us a pic of you 'riding the table down the tower'.

>epic win

Knowing my luck, I would've passed right above the fire.

>trash bag parachuting line a boss
>oh shit, got air
>hot air goes in bags
>lighter than air
>fuck I'm rising
>be me
>floating at 50,000 feet
>fuck my life

This actually could've worked but instead of sliding down in between the grooves I would just slide down to a certain point where the plane isn't trapping me from getting to the bottom. I would break a window, get inside and just run down the stairs as fast as I can.

it did actually become a thing. There is an advertisement for one on the news months after it happened.

I just read a story that claimed the U.S senate passed a bill where family members of those who died on 9/11 can now sue Saudi Arabia for their losses.

yeah I always about shimmying down too

there's an entire industry based on it, but it's full retard. You need to be skilled and set up your parachute just right for it to be usable falling from such a short height, regular ones wont open correctly unless they're opened at or near terminal velocity, and if you wait that long from a mid floor jump you're a pancake wrapped in a partially opened parachute.

...

>invade Afghanistan
>invade Iraq
>sue Saudi Arabia

Wut

Can you please try it and let me know

Yeah its almost how like water breaks your fall from any height.

underrated kek

Nice.. you would think every one working in a skyscrapper would own one, i mean its not like they dont have enough money for one. Not even just planes but what if a big enough fire started mid level and you were above it? I mean you'd be fucked unless you had one

Lol well then maybe the elites should have hang gliders at the top for themselves

if ppl stayed and 'rode the building's down, many would have survived. jumping was a sure death. so was burning.

riding the buildings down saved several lives.

...

not a terrible idea. A better solution would be to have anti-plane/missile defenses along the coast to shoot down anything incoming. Or maybe dont tell the air force to NOT shoot down the terrorist planes heading for the twin towers at all costs, like we did last time.

Why the fuck does anyone think this would work? Life doesn't work like cartoon logic

Ok then jump off your house with a chair then retard & tell me how those broken legs feel hmm?

Welcome new friend.

You suffocate before burning to death. TBH most likely you just get panicked for about 15 seconds then pass out and die without even knowing the rest of it. I vote with attempting to find a way out. If jumping is really the only option, I would attempt to make a parachute.

Id rape a girl in the chaos and right as I cum jump out of the window with her still on the d just blasting my jizz errwhere

Yeah true, i just remembered almost all skyscrapers have a helipad at the thop so the elite could just use that and toss the whole hang glider idea out the window just like all the people suffocating and burning to death. Boom still got it

My first thought

KEK

Freeeee fallin'

Easy physics thought experiment, could you come anywhere close to withstanding the impact if you just flexed your legs? Since the answer is no, you could not possibly overcome enough of your momentum through a push of any sort.

Yup, this will work. Try driving a car at a wall at 80mph, jump out at the last minute, land safely on your feet and enjoy watching the keks that ensue!

See

you need to jump out with one of those fancy office chairs, the ones with the hydraulic piston to adjust height. if you can stay sitting and upright, the piston will absorb most of the landing shock. The thick padding on the chair will absorb the rest of the shock.

yes
you might want to practice it first though for when this actually occurs in real life
failure to practice it at least once could be dangerous though

Boyyyyyyy, summer's here

no,
by the time you hit the ground from the tenth floor lets say 25 m youd have a velocity of 22 m/s of about 45 miles per hour going into the ground assuming no air friction.
You are dead

fixed for you

you dont jump up, you kick the chair down

You could also do a ground pound right before you hit.

Yes. Suggest you practice in case you find yourself in this situation someday

do you even fucking lift bro?

>Ok then jump off your house with a chair then retard

No, he said to jump off the house with a chair then jump. No one said anything about retards. How do you retard anyways? Numbnuts

man i don't like to imagine the feeling of jumping out of a building.

when i lean my chair too far back and get that tingly feeling in my feet almost makes me sick. i don't think i could make myself jump out of the WTC.

Lol, that doesn't even work in GTA.

>struck by plane
>during 9/11

luckily you'd have the flames to do it for you

how many people do you figure died on 9/11 that had nothing to do with the towers, or those four planes etc?

You know that may work if you think about it

Thank goodness you're not a physics teacher.

Hey guys, some of you are alright. Don't go to the twin towers on 9/11.

Those concrete pillars separating the windows are pretty close together. Did nobody try to shimmy down between them?

Of course nobody would make it all the way down but I didn't see anyone try, and at least that's a better shot than jumping.

I'm sure there were people that died of cancer or in car crashes, both in the US and abroad.

Just building hop. The fall won't be as high so you'll live. Broken ankle is the worst damage if you land retarded

have any of the jumpers in the famous pictures of 911 been recognized?

>"jumping have no chance of surviving, just quick death, nothing else"


that was the point you fucking retard

Smoke fucked a lot of people up

Undoubtedly yes

If you were jumping it was because you were above the fire. People below it could use the stairs. If you started to shimmy down you would just shimmy your way into the fire.

giant trampoline, nigger. do you even physics?

the guy doing the upsidedown moonwalk was ID as a waiter from the restaurant at the top of the tower IIRC

How many of them died because of plane-related causes in the NYC area?

/thread

maybe if you had a 1000+ foot rope and matching fall arrest repel gear. but that stuff is kind of rare for an office builiding

smoke from the towers? or do you mean smoke from a fire in, say, Mumbai?

that's what I'm saying, fight cancer for 6 months, you get to heaven and there is a fuck all queue at the gates.

I'm saying like drunk driver in east ohio or whatever, e.g. not related to 9/11 but died on 9/11. I mean imagine your mom, "yeah my boy died on 9/11" was he in the towers? "no he was choking himself jerking it to anime porn"

God the level of asshurt would by mind numbing, partiality due to your ass being in your head butt yah

>the level of asshurt
kind of like trying to decipher one of your posts?

Not confirmed. It could be that waiter or some audio technician. Or neither

about 153,000 people die every day. the 9/11 terrorist deaths probably didn't even throw the world numbers out of the normal average range.

people not foreigners

Tower smoke and the debris when they collapsed

maybe the elites should have some problems with their minds

that has something to do with the towers then, so doesn't factor into the question asked

Until you hit the ground and the piston thrust up into the depths of your anus.

That makes no sense. He isn't kicking, he is jumping.

This entire thread is an insult to America and the laws of physics

Wat?

Physical American here, stfu
