don`t know if it is on again, but it was an incredible and moving programme. It told how the US authorities refused to acknowledge people had jumped, and insisted they had all be blown out of the building by the blast, it also had one family who they thought may be related to the falling man, but they refused to acknowledge it, as the concept of suicide was against their strict Christian beliefs. Very moving film.

I hadn`t intended to watch this, but got hooked after tuning in part way through.
It was very moving - but also disturbing. It just didn`t seem necessary to upset so many people by trying to identify him :/

I thought the idiots that were trying to find who the guy was who jumped deserved a slap
they should have left his family alone, what p***ed me of more was the word "suicide" was used in the programme to describe the jumpers actions,they were murderd and did not commit suicide,if that jorno had come round my house I would have knocked his f***ing teeth out . >:( >:(

I agree on that point. If you know death is imminent and are able to make a choice as to whether it is by burining/smoke inhalation/jumping it is not suicide (there was no option available to live in that situation). :(

Well thats what he said he was told by some offtce he phoned,hardly proof that the American authorities refused to acknowledge people had jumped, the pictures of people jumping are not banned and any Newspaper/TV/Radio station in the USA can show /print/talk about them all they want 24/7.
