200 Jumpers From World Trade Center

Witnesses, both on the ground and through media coverage, observed people jumping from the towers as a last resort. These images were deeply distressing and became emblematic of the desperation and terror faced by those caught in the buildings. The 9/11 attacks resulted in the deaths of nearly 3,000 people, including those on the airplanes, first responders, and civilians in and around the World Trade Center.
