#5  A guy I went to high school with worked at Cantor Fitzgerald and was killed on 9/11. I was not particularly close with him while in school, and hadn't seen him for several years, but I am convinced that he would have jumped. I know he spoke to his brother and told him how bad it was getting. He just was the type to say "f*ck it, I will die on my own terms." I have always hoped that he had a quick, painless trip down. I would like to think that he did.

#2  HUK: I think they tried to make it to the roof but were thwarted

The doors leading to the roof were locked. They won't make that mistake again. I hope.
