9/11

I don't really remember much of 9/11 because I was only five years old. But, I remember a photo like this one on the news a couple of days after the tragedy occurred. I think this photo is extremely powerful. This was one of  the hundreds of victims who chose to end their lives by jumping out of one of the Twin Towers because they didn't want to be surrounded by the flames and smoke. It's sad because they knew they had no chance of surviving, so they decided to end their lives on their own terms instead of being engulfed in the fire. This photo makes me wonder what victims, like this person, thought of as they were falling towards their death.
