Aye, does seem rather a harrowing prospect.Isn't it amazing how something that happened 8 years ago, in a country on the other side of the world can still put the fear into you.
But having said that, I still cry at the end of Blackadder goes Forth and that is a sitcom.

I watched the Blackadder anniversary show again on Friday night,and was in tears just seeing the 10 second clip. Also, what I found utterly amazing, is that until the filming of said documentary, Ben Elton had never in fact visited the graves of Northern France.

Yep, that and the end to Doctor Who's 'Human Nature' 2-parter, around the cenotaph.(And the penultimate chapter of Mario Galaxy's storybook, and that's a putergame...)

The people jumping! D:It was respectful when one guy was filming, realised that someone had jumped and moved the camera away.

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?

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.

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.
