Poor woman, but fantastic that her quick response got her out.

Did you see the interview with her? it completely messed her up and she ended up with a drug addiction and to be honest I can't blame her. If it was me I would have ended up sectioned or killing myself, couldn't live after enduring something like that
The thing I find really sad is some of the pictures and the close up pictures really scare me for some reason. the ones where you can see people with their white flags or even those falling are really upsetting. It must have been very lonely, you couldn't even imagine what they were thinking. For those who were falling it must have been the longest 8 seconds of their life. In some ways its good that the second tower came down so soon

I've always wondered whether I'd jump or just wait to be crushed. either way it would be a long wait
