They jumped through windows already broken and then, later, through windows they broke themselves. They jumped to escape the smoke and the fire; they jumped when the ceilings fell and the floors collapsed; they jumped just to breathe once more before they died.
This quote shows how horrific it was for those people to be inside the towers on this day. They were desperate to do anything to try an escape from fire and the collapsing building. "They jumped once more to breathe once more before they died."This line really stuck with me. Things were so horrible inside they chose to throw them selves hundreds of feet off of a building instead. It was the choice that they made. To not have their life ended by what was going on inside, they took their own lives.
