I have watched and studied that video hundreds of times over the years. (I am a former journalist.) He was trying to enter the window below the floor he was trying to escape. He loses his grip while trying to maneuver his legs to break the window. There is a slight delay before he begins to fall. He is either trying to tighten his grip or he is trying one last time to break the glass with his fist. It's hard to say which scenario is correct. There's news footage on RUclips of his fall but it is from a far distance. Despite the distance you can clearly see that slight delay before he falls.
That one guy scaled down from 92 to 91. He didn't realize the window next to him was opened. He unfortunately kicked the window trying to break it and lost his grip and fell 91 floors. The 91st floor was the last floor in the North Tower to have at least one stairwel, accessible. He would have survived had he OF known. Pretty sad to think about.
People from inside the towers, were reporting via phone, that some of the floors were collapsing. If you were near a window, on a level where the floor, or a partial collapse of the above floor came down. The rush of air this would produce, would be enough to force someone unprepared to be blown out.
The man that tried to use the rope was somewhere on around the 72-75 floor of the south tower. On the side that was facing the North Tower and plaza. Which means at the time of the impact he was almost certainly watching people fall from the North Tower rather than trying to leave. Imagine being on the 72-75 floor watching the horror in the faces of those in the north tower that were forced to jump. Being thankful it wasn’t your building. Then no more than 10 minutes later you are hanging from a rope and losing your grip.
I remember as a little girl, neighborhood kids and i used to climb up this old dilapidated building near our house and it was about 6 stories tall, nothing too bad, but pretty scary to us kids whom were all under 10. It did not help that underneath was a lot of broken glass and rocks. One day I lost my grip near the top and that horrible few seconds that I realized I was going to fall felt like an eternity, it's been 32 years and I still recall that realization that I was about to fall, injure myself badly or possibly even die. I thankfully, miraculously walked away with only a few nasty cuts and aches but I never forgot that panicky sensation of knowing i was going to fall. My experience does NOT even come close to this poor man's experience, I don't even think id want to know how scared he must have felt in those moments. 9/11 stories like his and the one other gentlemen who attempted to use a tablecloth as a makeshift parachute as he fell break my heart 😢 it had to have been hell inside those towers for these poor people to jump/climb down ..May they R.I.P
Seeing that video and photos of the guy trying to shimmy down the North Tower really bothered me.. He was so close and the open/broken window was just sad. Bothered me for a while.
Its so wild that soon as i start getting so many 9/11 videos, i see you back to dropping some daily… not complaining its just crazy how it just hit at the same time😮. Love your videos keep dropping them❤
I like your channel because I have the same interests and I’m intrigued by the tragedy of 9/11 and I’m a huge college football fan but what a combination for a RUclips channel: unique facts about 9/11, takes and picks on college football and talking about obsolete American sporting stadiums. Most unique channel on RUclips for sure.
That video was shown on a documentary on the National Geographic a few years after the attacks, including a narration from the guy who was filming. And seeing that at 9 years old and watching that scene in the documentary was the first time that it finally hit me how horribly people had tragically died TRYING to survive. Because before that, I'd only really seen pictures and video of just towers burning. As a kid you don't really recognize the loss of life. But that footage made it clear as day in my young mind. And it's horrified me ever since.

The frantic and drastic measures these poor people took in these life decisions send chills up my spine. RIP to all the innocent lives lost.

Never forget how Palestinians celebrated after this happen.

Are you ever going to link to these mysterious videos you keep talking about? Doubting their existence at the moment.
Can you imagine making the decision to jump?

It looked like he had something in hand to break the window . But he just couldn’t break it

I was also struck by how eerie it was to hear that muzak song playing in the plaza during Jack Taliercio’s footage. 🤯
