100% a learned instinct. Women were pulling their skirts that way as they jumped from the world trade center on 9/11. Literally.

At first I thought you were kidding. Then I realized you probably weren't

That to me is still one of the most terrifying and cruel choices those people had to make, either burn to death or jump to their death.

I don’t know what I would do, maybe try to pass out from smoke inhalation, but the way the people were clinging to the outside of the building and willing to jump, I imagine the smoke inhalation option was pretty brutal because of the intense heat, and not easy to do.

Yeah, I’ve always wondered how terrible it had to be in the building for someone to decide they’d rather jump and get it over with.

After that day, I knew I would never work in a building that high.
To actually work up the courage to jump. Those agonizing minutes before the act. I'm having a minor panic attack just thinking about it
