I started watching it but decided to wait until I can give it more attention.
It's very intense from what I did see.

the vid from the dorm... pulled out the feelings i felt when i first heard. I was terrified - yet I was about 4,000 miles away... and the girl filming - she was right there - experienced it first hand - you can really feel the degree of shock in her voice.

That's the one I watched first. The girls in the dorm. I cried. You can practically hear that girly's mind snap when she realizes she's watching a jumper. Having it not sink in. It's tragic when stuff like that happens. Planes hitting towers and regular folk jumping to death. Finding out your ex wife and your kids have been murdered by their new daddy. Stuff like that intruding on an ordinary day . . . Horror might could make a person become a better person, and maturity and wisdom God's will and yadda yadda but it's fucking tragic when it happens. It's 1 minute that changed that girl.
My friend Sean was really close when it happened. Just across the way. He and his associate watched til they couldn't watch the jumpers any more. He told me the other day they were walking down the sidewalk just recently and a piece of something heavy fell and hit the sidewalk behind them and they both just broke into a dead run. Didn't turn to look, didn't exchange glances, the both just bolted and ran. So that's how they've changed

Finally watched the whole thing. Pretty powerful.
My wife cried, but then again she'll cry at the mention of the jumpers on that day.
