Stepping Out Into The Unknown

WITH ACCESS TO THE GROUND CUT OFF AS THE PLANES DESTROYED THE STAIRWELLS AND ELEVATOR SHAFTS IN THE TWIN TOWERS, THERE WAS LITTLE THAT THE PEOPLE ON THE UPPER FLOORS OF THE TWIN TOWERS COULD DO EXCEPT TO AWAIT RESCUE. WHEN THE HEAT OF THE FIRES OR THE SMOKE BECAME TOO INTENSE, THERE WAS ONLY ONE WAY OUT AND THAT WAS TO JUMP. THAT'S RIGHT LEAPING TO THEIR DEATH SEEMED A BETTER ALTERNATIVE THAN BURNING OR CHOKING TO DEATH. THE EXHILARATION OF FALLING 90+ STORIES WAS SOMETHING FEW HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED AND NONE HAVE SURVIVED TO TELL ABOUT. BUT THIS WAS THEIR PASSPORT OUT OF THIS WORLD INTO THE NEXT. THE DIE HAD ALREADY BEEN CAST SO INSTEAD OF BEING SWALLOWED BY EVENTS THESE PEOPLE COMMANDED THEIR OWN DESTINY BY DECIDING TO JUMP.
