So because the anniversary of 9/11 just passed, of course the networks are running shows, etc. I stumbled across a National Geographic documentary that was done 2 years ago for the 20th anniversary. I’m just now getting to the point where I can stomach all of these documentaries so I gave it a go. What particularly caught my interest was the story of a triage guy who went to the site right after the planes hit but before the collapse. To make a long story short, he labeled the casualties all deceased except for one. A woman whose head was intact but torso and below was completely mangled was conscious and talking. He labeled her deceased but she protested. He knew she was a goner but lied to her. Here is a link, his story starts at the 21:00 mark:
I’m wondering,
1. He suggested that she fell from the buildings or was on the plane and landed feet first. How could someone still be conscious and talking from a fall from that height, even if for a few minutes?
2. Perhaps she was on the ground and was hit by debris from the plane that went through the building (the one that hit the south tower)?
At any rate, a helluva story. Maybe our medical practitioners here can chime in on how the human body can survive that type of trauma even for a short time.
