This is by far one of the most moving videos of 9/11 I’ve seen… to be placed in this position where you have to decide how you want to die is something I could never imagine. The people who jumped out of the windows have my respect… it takes a lot to do that. And to think that they woke up that morning thinking it would be a typical day at work…

This is why I think it’s so important to tell people how you feel, and to never leave things unresolved or with harsh feelings… because you never know what may happen. Although I was very young at the time and couldn’t truly grasp what was going on… I understand now. My prayers are with those that lost their loved ones… and I pray that everyone who lost their life that day is in a much better place than this, where people decide it’s okay to take innocent lives.

I will never understand what would motivate a human being to do something so disgusting and evil. But I will always remember that day for as long as I live. I may have only been six years old at the time, but it is most probably - up to this day - the most significant memory I had in my childhood.
