People jumped from the towers after all hope of rescue was lost, and because the prospect of a quick painless death was better than slowly and painfully burning to death in the flames and smoke; therefore the jumpers, as they came to be known, were first seen as the flames cut off sections of the towers, isolating officeworkers. As the fire spread and trapped more people, we saw more tragic examples of these famed 'jumpers'. If I had to give a time, I would estimate between 8:48 and 10:30.
8:48 to 10:28: At least 100 people (some accounts say as many as 250), primarily in the North Tower, trapped by fire and smoke in the upper floors, jump to their deaths.One person at street level, firefighter Daniel Suhr, is hit by a jumper and dies. No form of airborne evacuation is attempted as smoke is too dense for a successful landing on the roof of either tower, New York City lacks helicopters equipped for horizontal rescue and the roof tarmac would have been too hot with too much smoke to land a helicopter."
