No.

He said they were on the 105th floor, that's above were the plane impacted.

They didn't experience the floor going out underneath them, the felt the building starting to tilt.

The floors gave out around where the impact occurred. The way he was yelling sure as hell suggested a lot more than the building being tilted. Something was happening, and happening fast.
Yeah. But since he was above the impact.. when the building started to collapse, the part above tilted and started to fall. That's what was happening.

When something starts to freefall like that.... I can't really even imagine. They probably lifted up off the floor... At any rate, he knew something was very, very wrong the moment it started to collapse.

How can you say that I'm trolling? I'm not bringing politics or anything into the discussion, I merely said to have some respect for people and use some restraint.

If anything, your post was more of a troll since it contributed nothing to the conversation.

Won't be watching it. It's still fresh in my mind as if it happened just yesterday. Lost a neighborly "uncle" in the Pentagon that day and watching the strength his family has had throughout these past couple of years has been amazing. I could personally never do it.

Coming up in 3 months will be the 10th yr. of the TWA Flight 800 disaster.
Imagine what the passengers went through as the head of the plane decapitated, knowing that their fates were sealed.
Kevin Cosgrove, the others in the office, and thousands of others trapped must have felt the same terror.

RIP to all of them.

It still breaks my heart to think of those who simply didn't want to die alone...and grabbed the hand of that co-worker or person they never met or perhaps hated and jumped off the tower together (PIC)

Why even post something like this? Everyone knows what happens, it doesn't teach you anything, it just makes people feel bad. Of course people are going to have a morbid curiousity and watch it, then they'll feel like absolute sh** after seeing it.

I know what happened that day, but I don't need to hear some poor man's agony in realtime.

Use some restraint please.

Tell that to the people that just made United93.

That makes no sense. It's so nonsensical that it hurts my brain.

RIP Cosgrove

Yeah - it's still way too soon for a movie to be made about it. I hope no one watches it, but I'm guessing that it'll be #1.

EVERYONE is ready to die. Death differentiates between no one. We can all disagree on whatever we like except this one fact of life ... death. Oxymoron? Far from it.

That brought tears to my eyes. That ending is just aweful.

Yeah man, I wasn't ready for that.

I wonder if the family has heard it? Bad enough that we heard anyone going through that, but if it were someone in my family I'd be haunted for life.

There is a lot more tape just like that.

I am not going to watch it either, based on the responses I am seeing... That's brutal. Just brutal.

That was a horrble sad audio clip.
I feel so bad for the people who had to go through that time and post 9/11.

Um, do you have trouble TRYING to understand what I was conveying?
Did you listen to the transcript and feel what Kevin felt, how he wasn't ready to give up given the dire consequences?
Did you or did you not???
You're name suits you completely.:disgust:

Stop lecturing in this thread- it's inappropriate.
