# I watched the 'falling man' documentary the other week,
that was a hard watch.

# Just saw that listed on 4OD too.
This may sound like a stupid question, but is that a whole documentary about that one dude and his family or something?

# There was more than one man that jumped
on that 102mins documentary there were loads jumping.

# It was about them all but in centred around the image of that one man.
That has to be one tough decision.

# I know.
I still to this day can't imagine being in a situation where jumping from 50 floors up is your best chance of survival :(

# It was probably a matter of how to get the quickest and least painful death.
Not a nice decision. From that height though, even if you land feet first your brain will be destroyed before you have time to feel any pain.
Just the mind numbing terror of falling to worry about.

# Oh yeah, undoubtedly.
Still, to take that jump must be a fucking awful last thing to do on earth :(

# Well it is the same as anything isn't it.
Why don't all the children of Vietnam get media coverage when there are often articles about Kim Phuc running from the Napalm attack?

People find it a lot easier to relate to someone in a picture that they have burned onto their consciences.

I seem to remember seeing a few years ago a documentary on the firemen of New York. That was pretty heartbreaking.
