    Your comment sent me googling like your students.
    I read they would've Or should've reached 150 mph. Not enough to kill them but enough to ensure instant death upon impact.

    well yeah they had rescuers below working in areas where they could hear bodies crashing through the glass then hitting the ground. there was blood and mangled bodies everywhere so they didnt walk out into that area. yet they had to try and function like nothing was going on.

    Theres videos of it where you see the rescuers in their work area then you start hearing the sounds. Its not so much the death as it is how tortured youd have to be and the final thoughts to get to that point. To jump from a building 100 stories up. its fucking disturbing.

    I believe statistically, most people who die in fires die from smoke inhalation before they are burned.

    Or from jumping 70 stories splattering on the concrete or from panicking and breathing like crazy when your skin is melting off. Either way sounds like some stat they say to help those grieving.

    Sure there is and fire is atop the worst ways directly or indirectly. Let's be sure to never minimize that point.

    Did yall see when isis burned that dude alive awhile back. with gasoline. That was just great.

    No, I can't imagine a worse way to go than by fire.

    I almost drowned in Mexico 20 years ago, and it wasn't horrible. I mean, I didn't want to die, but I didn't panic, which incidentally is probably why I was able to save myself. I had gotten caught in a rip current and remembered to swim sideways to get out of it. It worked.

    But dying in fire has got to be horrific.

    I was watching Joe Kenda on ID the other day. This dude was fooling around in the garage of a house he had just bought and found a grenade. The investigation concluded that he just had no idea what he has in his hand. They found his finger about 30 yards away with the pull ring still on it. Never had a clue, never felt a thing.

    I can imagine having my ticker explode after 6 chicks pulling a train on me would not be such a bad thing.
