I think about them too. I just wished that I didn't take a friend's advice and watched those jumpers and the last messages some of the victim's families recorded. I read that it took 8 seconds for the jumpers to hit the ground. Eight freaking seconds is a long time when you are jumping to your death.

It is. First of all it’s a 757 in the pic and not a 767. Also who is wearing cold weather gear on a late summer day in NYC. It was like 70 and sunny that day.

Well you can clearly see his bloody left arm in that pic and nothing where his left chest, neck, and head should be.

Custer's Last Stand.
It's a very surreal experience and one that I really enjoyed more than I thought I would. There are, or were signs warning people of rattlesnakes in the grass though.

Tom Pryce Formula 1 death
On lap 22, Zorzi pulled off to the left side of the main straight, just after the brow of a hill and a bridge over the track.
The situation caused two marshals from the pit wall on the opposite side of the track to intervene. The first marshal to cross the track was a 25-year-old panel beater named Bill, and the second was 19-year-old Frederik "Frikkie" Jansen van Vuuren, who was carrying a 40-pound (18 kg) fire extinguisher.
The former narrowly made it across the track, but the latter did not. As the two men started to run across the track, the cars driven by Hans-Joachim Stuck and Pryce came over the brow of a rise in the track.
Pryce was directly behind Stuck's car along the main straight. Stuck saw Jansen van Vuuren and moved to the right to avoid both marshals, missing Bill by what Tremayne calls "millimetres". From his position Pryce could not see Jansen van Vuuren and was unable to react as quickly as Stuck had done. He struck the teenage marshal at approximately 270 km/h (170 mph). Jansen van Vuuren was thrown into the air and landed a few yards in front of Zorzi's car. He died on impact, and his body was badly mutilated by Pryce's car. The fire extinguisher he had been carrying smashed into Pryce's head, before striking the Shadow's roll hoop. The force of the impact was such that the extinguisher was thrown up and over the adjacent grandstand. It landed in the car park to the rear of the stand, where it hit a parked car and jammed its door shut.
The impact with the fire extinguisher wrenched Pryce's helmet upward sharply. Death was almost certainly instantaneous. Pryce's Shadow DN8, now with its driver dead at the wheel, continued at speed down the main straight towards the first corner, called Crowthorne. The car left the track to the right, scraping the metal barriers, hitting an entrance for emergency vehicles, and veering back onto the track. It then hit Jacques Laffite's Ligier, sending both Pryce and Laffite head-on into the barriers. Jansen van Vuuren's injuries were so extensive that, initially, his body was identified only after the race director had summoned all of the race marshals and he was not among them.
There is video of the accident if you are so inclined.

I have some pictures from the rooftop of one of the towers, can't remember which one it was. Fleet Week 1992.
Both the indoor and elevated outdoor observatories were on the South Tower. The North Tower had the Windows on the World restaurant.

I remember people shared other more outrageous versions after this one came out. One in particular that I remember had the famous Tennessee fans Junior and Lulu in the pic.
If we didn’t photoshop, the terrorists would have won.

On john gacy. When I was a kid, we lived a couple of blocks from him. My older brother almost replied to an add to cut his grass. Talk about lucky.

I think it's pretty obvious after looking for a bit that the red part by the driver's seat is the top of what's left of him.

This is the spot where Adam Walsh's head was found in 1981. The link at the bottom is a video of a guy who films a few places related to the crime, including the old Sears (now a Target) where he was kidnapped in Hollywood, FL.

I post the fake picture in every one of these threads. It’s been around since at least 2003.

One woman survived the jump from that building in New Orleans. The women who had to jump were in the beauty parlor when the fire broke out. My aunt was friends with one of the ladies who jumped to her death.

Some of us figured that out from the picture and context. The non-metalheads were lost asf.
I flubbed it first - Clint got me, good.

27 out of 45 people managed to survive the initial impact.
However, the survivors were forced to cannibalise the dead in order to stay alive. 16 people were rescued over 72 days later.
Reminds me of a Rick and Morty episode.
