I'm confused. how come the firefighters didnt just put trampolines to catch the jumpers so they didnt all have to die? i know they werent prepared but after seeing dozens of people jump why didnt they? i cant imagine it.. i mean falling thousands of feet going at 150 mph.. which takes like 10 seconds from a high floor. and i hear that some people got killed from being hit by these jumpers.. can someone just explain to me how it was like and why they died when they hit the floor? and did their bodies totally break apart or pretty much stay intact? and what do you think was going through their minds as they were about to hit the ground or were about to jump? oh and why werent there hellicopters there to rescue people? i saw a vid on youtube where 2 people landed and it was a terrible racket.. its just the weirdest thought ever. please help.. and i hope this doesnt seem rude or anything. im 14 so when this happened i was only in first grade. then i thought it was funny, the thought of jumpers cause i couldnt imagine that at all. i didnt know they were actually dying and stuff.. and couldnt imagine how that could happen. thanks for the help btw. geez looking up all this 9/11 stuff now that i didnt know about sure is depressing.

Only those who jumped could answer the "what was going through their minds", maybe they were praying for their lives, and hoping they'll live? Or maybe they were praying for others.
As for the trampolines, that was a good idea, but keep in mind they needed as many firefighters as possible to go in and rescue and put out the fire. The city was just in complete chao's and their wasn't time to think things through clearly, all people could do was run for their lives, or literally dive in to help those in the buildings.

"How did they die when they hit the floor?"
Imagine falling from high up and hitting HARD CEMENT, it hurts enough just tripping and falling onto it, but falling from a high distance REALLY fast! It's a lot of trauma on the body. Personally I do not know how the body works when something like that happens, but I do know that there are parts of your body that if you break you can die instantly, like parts of your back, your neck, and if you get enough force to the chest it can stop your heart instantly.

Hope I helped.
