Why THE FUCK didnt anybody try to catch these guys? Imagine how many lives could have been saved had the firefighters deployed safety nets and inflatable devices.
On a related note, they also could have landed two helicopters on the roofs to rescue people from the upper floors.

A famous priest for the FDNY was killed by a body falling out of the sky. Bodies were falling all over the place.

they tried to land a chopper on roof but couldn't get close enough due to heat/smoke/debris/wind currents. All aircraft were grounded under threat of being shot down by military.

it was a touchy subject, for some reason. during the event, npr was talking to people on the ground, and one guy started discussing it and they cut his mike. also, one of the major NYT articles about it keeps saying that they "fell", which makes me wonder, is falling somehow more dignified than jumping?
>>77222883
>On a related note, they also could have landed two helicopters on the roofs to rescue people from the upper floors.
If you watched the news at the time you'd know there was too much smoke to land on the roof AND they did try to use trampolines for the jumpers but the first few broke them.
>>77225252
I watched a whole documentary explaining how everyone had been "pushed out" of the buildings by the fire, because if they committed suicide (jumped) they wouldn't go to christian heaven.

The terminal velocity of a human body is directly related to the atmospheric density combined with the average weight and rate of acceleration, fuckhead.
Unless you had a net that could be elevated around 60 meters high and would be strong enough to stop a 80 kg human falling at 195 km/h, the person is going to die anyway.
>>77225617

I'm pretty sure they were trying to contain the fire inside the building.
Also the injured people outside. Get to those guys first because they're already there. Once the fire is down go on a rescue mission for the rest.
The ones that jumped were also really high up if your eyes are on the ground looking at those injured people you might not notice someone about to jump.
I'm positive the jumpers knew they weren't going to survive.
Maybe they thought falling to death would have been a betrer death than being burnt alive.
I was on the roof of the north tower in 1999. i remeber the roof was coverex with towers, transmitters, equipment and antenneas, looked like no room for a helo to land. other tower looked to be the same
I think the biggest problem is they told people not to evacuate and that the buildings wouldn't collapse (so there were thousands stuck in the stairway).
Then Mossad blew the primers
>>77222883
Do you actually, at all understand, what would happen if someone falling from the height of those towers landed on anything, bouncy/soft/hard or otherwise?

166.2 lbs is the average weight of a human male.
53m/s is the terminal velocity of a human male
so using Ek = ½ mv2 we get a kinetic energy of

Thats alot of energy a net would not have saved them
catching them would make two people dead instead of one
>>77225575
Not pushed by people, the reasoning was that the fire generated so much air pressure within the towers that windows blew out and people fell out as well.
>>77227315
There is such a thing as terminal velocity, and people have survived falls from taller heights before, without parachutes.

What exactly do you think a low-res video of a 747 flying at full throttle into a building facade "should" look like? Do you imagine it just bouncing off and falling down?
The level of dynamics at work in these events is just not something that we see every day. We don't have any frame of reference for how structures will react under those kinds of conditions. So when we see something exceptional and out of our ordinary frame of reference, we say things like "it's hard to believe my own eyes." Shitstains like you have taken that to the next level.
Do a Google image search for "Lahaina Noon" and see what objects look like when photographed from the subsolar point on Earth. Without shadows, they appear fake -- almost like they were photoshopped into reality. But if this were to happen every day in our own location, our brains would not have the same sort of reaction to it -- it would appear normal.

Except terminal velocity actually reduces over a certain height due to wind resistance, otherwise parachutes wouldnt work.
A specially made safety net could handle that scenario perfectly.
do you think they could have climbed down? like shimmied between the gap on the windows?
I would kind of like to see high resolution footage of the body exploding from the impact

>>77229431
>Except terminal velocity actually reduces over a certain height due to wind resistance,
next year or so, when you take physics, you should learn that there would not be a terminal velocity if there were no wind (or air) resistance, so your comment is wrong in every way imaginable.

Don't know of any from 9/11, but there are tons of videos of that from other sources. Check /b/ or /gif/, if they still do that sort of thing.
firefighters don't use safety nets anymore because its a really stupid idea and it was destroying their backs.
also trying to land on a 10 foot target from hundreds of feet in the air in the middle of a big city would be incredibly difficult what with all the cross winds.

>>77229431
>Except terminal velocity actually reduces over a certain height due to wind resistance, otherwise parachutes wouldnt work.
Parachutes increase the effective surface area of a human body, essentially making the resistance from the air slightly less than the pull from gravity. This slows down the person, resulting in them falling to the ground at about 2-3 meters per second. Literally the only reason parachutes exist is to avoid people hitting the ground at terminal velocity and spreading their entrails out over a few square meters.
>A specially made safety net could handle that scenario perfectly.
The average weight of a human male is 80 kg. The terminal velocity for this person is about 200 km/h.
If you've ever read anything about fighter pilots, astronauts, or F1 drivers, you'd be aware the largest g-load a human body can take without sustaining extreme damage is about 20 g. Fighter pilots pass out at about 10 seconds of 9g exposure. The average person can not take 5g without passing out in a few seconds.
So, logically if you want someone to survive, maybe you can bring them up to 10g of force in their deceleration attempt and have an emergency trauma ambulance on site to save their life when they land. Let's look at the logic of that.
So, we're going to assume straight off the bat we have somehow managed to bring a 25 meter high safety net here. The person is going to be falling at terminal velocity onto the centre of the net, and the net is going to be about 5 meters wide.
So, at 52 meters per second, the person is going to travel that 25 meters in roughly half a second. To stop him in that distance and time, we're going to be putting about 11g on his body, which is manageable.
But you have to take into account the material used for the net.
The actual force put on this net of yours turns out to be around 8482 newtons.
Name me a flexible material that can take 8482 newtons of force quickly, keep in shape, and not break. Please.

a net that stops people at terminal velocity (195 was quoted but seeing as you'll say wind resistance like an autist fag 180.) would need to be stupidly fucking tall, the g uys travelling at 50 meters per second, if you stop the guy too fast then its going to kill him due too physics.
Its why jumping from things like the golden gate bridge is a really stupid idea because the water may as well be concrete due to it stopping you too quickly,
Energy = .5 mass (body weight in this case) multiplied by velocity then squared.
So your fat neckbeard ass gets up and stands on a set of scales it weighs like 280lbs, thats 280lbs at no speed whatsoever, when thats travelling at near terminal velocity speeds its going too become much greater than that. Your body would be need to be able to withstand 50k joules of energy in the space of time it takes too stop (that being no time at all.)
As for the helicopters on the roof, flying through a smoke cloud would never be permitted as the smoke would suffocate the engines.
Safety nets would not catch them they jumped from a fucking roof of a massive skyscraper
Plus with all the rubble and chaos it'd be extremely difficult to even try and deploy one

They just need fire fighters to jump on trampolines and cancel their velocity out then they both are safe.
