In Memory of Norberto Hernandez

We'll never forget all of you! We'll never forget that horror and sorrow! Best wishes from Germany!

I just want to express my profound sympathy and my hopes and prayers to the family and friends of Norberto Hernandez, and of course, to the man himself. Rest in peace, Norberto, you are with the angels.

*** Posted by Sophie Littler on 2010-08-30 ***

Norberto Hernandez was one of the bravest souls in the World Trade Center. May his soul rest in peace and harmony.

*** Posted by Alex Robinson on 2010-08-29 ***

Nine years later we still remember and will never forget. Your strength and courage gives us a sense of an option even at the worst times. Let your soul rest in peace. My most sincere condolences to your family and the families of all the victims from 9/11.

Carpe Diem....

The Falling Man—that was a photo (and I film I had seen on youtube). I could not get out of my mind.

Along with the horror of that day, there seemed to be some sort of glory, stillness, peace—when I looked at the photo, I saw a man who had made a decision and who didn't seem frightened or terrified but full of trust in god and his eternal life afterward. That made me shiver and smile at the same moment: What a brave man you were, Norberto! So these words to you and your family:

I honestly feel connected with you and must say that I have seen an angel: It was you, Norberto! God bless you, and love to you and your family from the bottom of my heart.

I am sorry for your loss

I felt it was necessary that I pay my respects to a man I didn't know only to know his story! It's hard to lose anyone in the world, but know that their life after is more beautiful than we all imagined ... and so I send my respects to Norberto and his family!

May you find peace in eternity.

God had mercy on his soul. Do not worry.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you, Mr. Hernandez, and to your family. You will not be forgotten. Peace be with you, my brother.

My best friend Cathy worked with Norberto. He was a genuinely nice guy. My thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Rest in peace Norberto, my thoughts go to your family and to all the families that were touched by the tragedy, we will never forget.

God bless Norberto Hernandez and everyone who perished in the devastating 9/11.... god only takes the good ones and the strong ones. May you all be resting in peace in god’s love in heaven, looking down on your beloved ones and helping them through, day by day.... My heart breaks and goes out to you and the people on the planes.... But you are all with the angels now and in god’s arms.... xxx

Rest in peace. I have a lot of sympathy for those that suffered from 9/11. It has created an unusual pain in my heart.

*** Posted by matt on 2010-03-31 ***

There is a peace in that photo. All the force and destruction of the day is absent. It shows a man who has accepted god and fate, and I am sure it shows the strength of the man himself. May his peace and his strength be with you always.

*** Posted by James on 2010-03-14 ***

I am sorry about your loss. I never knew your father, nor do I know you or your family. I am truly sorry for all the horrible things that happened to your family by losing your father. I pray to God that you're full of strength and understanding to make your life a little easier. As for your father, I know he is in a better place with God. Take care, and may God bless you always.

*** Posted by Rosy Mora on 2010-02-02 ***

Sadness, hopelessness, and a feeling of helplessness filled me on that day, and I'm sure that was how you felt, too.

God bless Norberto and his family.

Dear Norberto:

First of all, I can't help but be reminded of Hagrit's dragon Norbert, from Harry Potter. A random thought, yes, I know, but still I thought it. I also wonder ... did he commit suicide? Surely not. But who am I to know such things? I live a fairy tale life where these things can never happen to me. Who can imagine having to decide to jump out of a window or burn to death? I certainly can't. God surely can. I pray to God to have mercy on your soul Norberto, and in my limited plain old stupid mind, I think that he does. I am so sorry that I can't express it without typing stuff that barely scratches the surface and might offend. I'm sorry for that, too. It is too much for any one person to deal with, and I'm not even a relative. I can only express that I feel a lot towards you. I'm sorry this happened to you. I wish you were able to continue to be in the lives of your family. It hurts me, too, and I am so sorry. So sorry.

I feel terrible. The impact of what happened on 9/11 has struck me, and I will never see life in the same way again.

To the Hernandez family:

My thoughts and my prayers are with you. May God help ease your pain and help you to find peace. Have faith in God, for he now holds Norberto in his almighty hands. You will one day be reunited with him, and all your tears and all the pain will cease. May the Lord bless you all, and may Norberto rest in peace.

I just watched the video on Youtube about the falling man on 9/11.... I hope the Hernandez family lives in peace and happiness in the future. And to Norberto: I hope the angel will always be with you, and rest in peace. My prayers for him.

*** Posted by Chan from Sabah on 2009-11-16 ***

I live in Belfast in Ireland, and when I heard about this I actually cried. I can't imagine what the family went through. I was watching a documentary called "9/11: The Jumping Man," and the picture horrified me when I saw it. I wanted to cry. But I am sure that he was a lovely man, and he loved his family so much.

*** Posted by Orlaigh on 2009-11-07 ***

I can't imagine what sort of pain your family are going through. R.I.P.

*** Posted by M on 2009-11-04 ***

We just watched "The Falling Man." We've all seen news and footage of 9-11 at some time, but this was something else. I'm not religious, tho my wife is Catholic. I hope all those who were lost really are in a better place. I hope that god really does have them secure and safe in his presence and watching over their loved ones. R.I.P. You will never be forgotten.

Dear Hernandez family,

To say ”time heals all wounds” is a lie. You would have to be inhuman not to mourn your beloved Norberto forever. I have just watched ”The Falling Man.” I am happy for you that he turned out not to be Norberto. But in a way, I’m also sad. I’m not religious, but if ever something has made me think about choosing a religion, it’s the picture of ”the falling man.” I was a guide in Greece on 9/11. The whole disaster was turned into a bizarre show, where every bar and disco along the beach displayed large screens with the horrific images in order to attract customers.

It became an unreal event that way. Logically, I understood the significance of the terror attack, but I never really understood the magnitude of it until I saw the picture of ”The falling man.” It would have been so religiously extraordinary had it been Norberto. A Christian person who had come to such terms with his God that he was given the choice of how to die: choking inside the tower in smoke and flames, or one last lingering breath of fresh air, sending all his love and thoughts to his beloved family while coming to terms with his own imminent death? The choice is beyond the imagination of all of us alive.

I wish you all the best in the future, and I sincerely hope you will accept my deepest condolences. Norberto Hernandez as well as all the other casualties of 9/11 have become a symbol to me of how the world certainly has room for improvement.

I hope you will find a way to move forward. God be with you all.

*** Posted by Sidsel Barfoed on 2009-10-06 ***

I saw the movie "The Falling Man" and wanted to express my sympathy to the family and friends of Norberto. I believe that Norberto and all the other victims of 9/11 will always be remembered. I just pray that someday our nation will know the truth about 9/11. God bless you all and the United States of America.

*** Posted by Tom Latimer on 2009-10-06 ***

I just saw the video on the falling man. It is now 2009, and I wanted to let the family know that the heroes of that day are the victims, and they are not forgotten. My prayers go out to the families of the people who lost their lives that day.

*** Posted by robert dumoulin on 2009-10-05 ***

I have never ever met you, Mr. Hernandez. Regardless, you're a hero. That fall you experienced, what was it like? None of us will ever exactly know.... May your soul live on forever. I have incredible respect for you.

*** Posted by Mick Beek on 2009-10-02 ***

I just heard your story on a 9/11 special on TV.

I may only be 15 and may not understand this world as greatly as older people do. But let it be known that my heart goes out to you.

You didn't jump. You didn't have a choice.

My prayers are with your family. You will never be forgotten.

To the family of Norberto Hernandez:

I am deeply sorry for your loss, the loss of a husband, a father, a son, a fellow American, a human being. May God bless your family with healing and closure as these eight years have passed.

I have just watched The Falling Man documentary on Ch4 here in England. Very dramatic footage. May you find comfort that your loved one is at piece.

I recently heard the story from my dad, wow, I thought he was pushed, in fact, he had the choice of dying in pain with the fires or jumping; and dying in bliss, God rest his soul...

I have just finished watching the film, "9/11: The Falling Man"! I was moved to tears by the story of Norberto and his family. Whoever the falling man was, he showed more courage in his final 10 seconds of his life than many of us show in our entire lifetimes. All my prayers and thoughts are with the Hernandez family. How you have suffered! But take comfort that Norberto is watching over you all. He is at peace now. His story has been told. God bless.

*** Posted by Samuel Awolaja on 2009-09-12 ***

My thoughts are with your very brave family. My love to you all always.

*** Posted by Jill on 2009-09-12 ***

This was never a suicide. I hope all his family have trusted in the fact that he was doing what any other person would have done. If anything he should be a role model because he chose how he ended his life, and I am sure he found peace in his final minutes. So much love goes to all of you!

*** Posted by Liam Wisker on 2009-09-12 ***

Having to make a choice about how to end your life is something that I am scared to even think about. I'm currently watching "9/11: The Falling Man," and considering I am only 13 years old, all the people and Norberto Hernandez are in my heart. I respect anyone who was related to someone who died that day and, of course, the people who gave their lives. They are and will always be very special and brave. We will never forget them. Rest in peace to the 9/11. God bless.

We have not forgotten, and we still share your sadness.

*** Posted by Joe Collins on 2009-09-12 ***

I know there was controversy around showing this photo at the time, but I am glad they did. No disrespect to the family, but their relative showed exactly what a truly terrible and terrifying situation he was in. We hear of the fight or flight situation, and in this there was no fight. I think that to jump was truly heroic and must have given him some sense of control. It will keep the memory of 9/11 in memories for a long time—as it should, as a reminder of the aftermath of terrorist acts. God bless all his family for their suffering. I hope you have found some peace.

*** Posted by Angel on 2009-09-12 ***

My thoughts are with your beautiful family. They lost someone who meant everything to them. May you rest eternally in peace. May your family find strength and pass on your memories to all your future generations. You are a hero, not just to your family, but to all of us who believe in peace.

This man will always be remembered not just for the fact based on him being the "falling man" but the great man he was.
I did not know him personally but reading and watching what I've seen based on him and how they discovered who he was, I can honestly say I hope he rests in peace.

Norberto Hernandez faced death there was no way out he was sentenced but he had the choice of which how he was going to die he could've stayed in the building and burn his way to death or jump in some hope of escaping this madness -

He was a brave big hearted man and he will always remain in our memories and hearts forever, R.I.P.

Yesterday I saw a movie about the attack on the World Trade Center and "The Falling Man." It doesn't matter who the falling man was. I just think his picture is the most honest thing that we have about that day. Also, I think that Mr. Hernandez has a quite big heart. It doesn't matter if he jumped or not! God will bless Norberto Hernandez and all of the other victims of September 11th, 2001.

*** Posted by Julia from Germany on 2009-09-11 ***

Remember our loved ones—friends and family members—as well as the military and emergency response personnel who served and who also did not survive this tragedy.

Rest in Peace, Norberto. You will always be remembered. As I sit here on the 8th anniversary of the attacks, I am still incensed by the senselessness of the events of 9-11. You were an innocent soul and your family deserved a husband and father for many years to follow. We will always remember you and your contributions to help make America great.

*** Posted by Damien on 2009-09-11 ***

On one of the most tragic days since time began, we remember you, as an inspiration. Your courage, your spirit and your freedom. Your story has touched me, and millions around the world.

*** Posted by Rebecca, UK on 2009-09-11 ***

I just saw the story of this courageous man and saw his family and it created tears and broke my heart. I believe God took him away before he felt any pain and is with God today. May God bless him and his entire family always and forever.

Much love and many more prayers to the Hernandez family.

I watched TV, and a lot of the movies are about 9/11. I also saw the picture of a man jumping out the window, and therefore I'm on this page....  :(  The tragedy of the World Trade Center happened a long, long time ago, but it is still in our heads.... After all these years, I'm still speechless.... R.I.P.

Norberto war ein starker Mensch anmutig und bewundertswert er ist der sünde entgangen zu brennen es war sicer kein selbstmord er hat versucht sich zu retten da bin ich mir sicher Ruhe In Frieden mein beileid an die familie.

[Ed. - Norberto was a strong person, charming and worthy of admiration. He escaped burning. It was surely no suicide. He tried to save himself, I'm sure. Peace in tranquility. My condolence to the family.]

Even though your loss has changed your family forever, I'd like to take the time to say that we still, and will always, remember you, Norberto and Claribel, eight years later, and the pain's still there. My love to your wife, my sister, and family. You will always be in our hearts....

I'd like to tell Noberto's family that I don't believe that he committed suicide. I was shocked to hear that his family think that he did. I just watched the video, "The Falling Man," and I don't feel that he committed suicide at all. It was a matter of trying to survive the heat of the flames and smoke, so please don't think it was a suicide. NO WAY. Pray for him, and do charity in his name. Everything happens for a reason that God allows and God wills.

In Christ,
Steve

I didn't know Norberto, but I just watched a documentary on SKAI TV (Greece). I am really sad that so many people suffered that day and that some people had to jump from the WTC. Terrorism and wars must stop. They bring so much pain to us, to the innocent people. God bless Norberto and all the other victims and their beautiful families.

Norberto did not jump to end his life, but to save it. I have tried to put myself in his position and what I would be thinking would be, "I have no chance if I stay. I have some chance if I jump," keeping in mind that people have survived freefalls from 12,000 feet from airplanes. Norberto gave his last effort to come home to his family. Rest assured, Mr. Hernandez is indeed in heaven because he was a fighter! My love and prayers are with his family.

Norberto is a symbol of freedom and life to anybody and everybody who has lost a member of their families, a loved one, or even an acquaintance on that day. Your father's soul soared like an angel, as he knew his time had come, and he died with the images of his angels in his mind. He is the greatest symbol of the 9/11 tragedy. Instead of pain and terror, he is at peace.

*** Posted by kelvin on 2009-04-02 ***

I am not from America; I'm from India. I cannot even begin to imagine the tragedy Norberto must have faced to finally make that choice to plunge down from the World Trade Center. He has certainly opened my eyes to the truth of the terrifying reality of 9/11. But I can say one thing for sure: Noberto is a hero, a brave, brave man. He has exhibited a dignity even in death and MADE A DIFFERENCE to this world! And he and the other victims will ALWAYS be remembered throughout the world. And may they rest in peace!

And to the families and friends of the victims of this tragedy, I cannot even begin to imagine the pain you must have felt and still would be feeling with the loss of your loved ones. My love, my thoughts, and my prayers are with you at this point of time! May god bless you all!

I honestly can say that I didn't know of the "falling man." But today I just heard about it. I know what it feels like to have someone taken away from you so unjustly because my mother was murdered. Just know that his love is surrounding you every day. R.I.P.!

Justo como indicar, yo nunca pensaría en él como "el saltador". Espero que usted no haga tampoco. Su alma ha ido directamente al cielo. Hay sin duda sobre esto. Mis rezos son a él y su familia. Incluso hoy, ser la primera vez que he oído alguna vez de él, creo que él era un gran hombre. Por favor, tienen sin duda. Él está en la paz y en el cielo.

[Ed. - I'd just like to express that I never would think about him as a "jumper." I hope that you don't, either. His soul has gone directly to heaven; there's no doubt about it. My prayers are for him and his family. Even today, the very first time I've ever heard of him, I believe that he was a great man. Please, have no doubt. He's at peace in heaven.]

Your Dad is a great man. I really would like to believe he is not the so-called "Falling Man." May peace be with you.

I just wanted to say, I'm so very sorry for what happened to your loved one. He is the "fallen angel." I hope you're finding peace in your lives. I wish you and your family nothing but love.... I want to tell you that god is watching over him and your family. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

First, I'm so sorry ... and I hope that Norberto is now in heaven and that he feels all right there.... 9/11 was such a horrible day, and I hope your family is alright now! And I saw that page, and I had to write something because I can't forget the pictures. I'm not from the USA. I'm from Germany. But I also want to say that I feel so sorry. I'm so sorry that it had to happen! My thoughts are with the family members of both Norberto and all the 9/11 victims! God bless Norberto and his beautiful family!

Dear Hernandez family,

I know how it feels to lose a family member. I just watched the video, "9/11 The Falling Man." I had to cry when I watched it. I can feel the pain under my skin and just want to tell you that Norberto was a hero. I believe that his last thought was for his family: his wife, his daughters, and the other members that he left behind. God bless you and your family.

*** Posted by Nilufar on 2008-11-15 ***

My impression: If this was Mr. Hernandez, he wanted his family to know that his pain was quick, and he didn't want his family to live wondering and waiting on some type of news or no news of where he was. He was hoping that they could be with him when he went home to the Lord. He wanted their pain and suffering to be short like his. God rest his soul, and pray for his family now and forever!

*** Posted by Joe Michael on 2008-11-14 ***

I just need you to know that don't hold it against you but hold it with you. You have my prayers from me and my family. He will always be watching over you, and I promise you that you will get to see him again. To my understanding, and I hope it doesn't offend you in any way, you don't have to see a person to tell them you love them. You just have to give them your heart and they'll give their heart. Life's too short. Make it last while you can. God bless you all.

HE WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU!

*** Posted by Saleida N. on 2008-11-01 ***

I remember that day like it was yesterday, and I always will. I remember seeing that picture in the newspaper and imagining what those families who lost someone were going through. I couldn't even come close to imagining the amount of pain that they must feel. It wasn't until about 2 years ago that I saw that picture again. I was in one of my classes, and our teacher asked us to find an article and picture that brought back a memory and that we would always remember. I came across the picture of Norberto, and instantly I knew that this was the correct one to use for my assignment. That picture will be in my mind for as long as I live. I've visited ground zero twice, and I will continue to do so, so I can pay my respects. It's the least I can do. My deepest and most sincere prayers go out to the families who lost someone on that day, and especially to the Hernandez family. Norberto was a hero and will never be forgotten. I bet he was an amazing man, and I know his memory will live on forever. R.I.P., Norberto and all those who perished on that day.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET!

I remember being a small girl looking at a newspaper in my village and seeing the picture of Mr Hernandez. It was the most shocking thing I have ever seen. Even in his last moments, Mr Hernandez was a hero. His family should be proud of his memory. That much courage is difficult to find in anyone. My heart goes out to his daughters. Your father was a hero. His death showed the world the truth. Even after he has left this world, he will be with you forever.

To Norberto:

I really feel sorry with your kids. I felt the same when I was there stuck on the 4th floor of the tower. I jumped out, but I didn't die. I'm paralyzed for life. I only can use my one arm, and my hearing is affected. I wish you were here to be with your children. I love you.

*** Posted by Monet on 2008-09-13 ***

Dear Hernandez family,

My heart goes out to you. May God still guide you through this time. We have now found out it was not your loved one as the jumping man, but as being how religious as I am and your family is as well, we could find it in our hearts and so would God realize that he no other choice. We were not there to experience the horrific things he might have went through. Suicide is not an an option or an answer, but I believe if you have no other solution your loved one should have never been looked down upon. What disturbs me the most is in a matter of desperation people chose to jump, knowing their faith of that leap. That hurts me spiritually more than anything. It wasn't suicide; it was DESPERATION.

He was NOT "the falling man" but an "angel" that God sent for--may his soul be resting in peace, and may God continue to bless his family and help them through this difficult time. He did a wonderful job raising his daughters--Jacqueline, I saw you on T.V. at the 9/11 ceremony and just know that all of the wonderful things in your life are a result of your DAD looking down on you. God bless you all!

Estou no Brasil, cidade Porto Alegre, estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Ontem 09/11 vi o documentário sobre o tragico dia e especificamente sobre quem era a pessoa da foto caindo das torres. Nao era Norberto como se viu. Mas deixo aqui minha mensagem a Norberto e sua familia e a todos que naquele dia foram assassinados de forma tão brutal. Trabalhadores das torres do WTC, bombeiros de NY, policiais de NY, medicos e paramedicos e seus familiares. Estive no ground zero agora em junho quando visitei NY, senti um grande mal estar no local. A energia do local não é boa. Eu e minha esposa fizemos orações aos que ali perderam a vida e nos retiramos.

Tenham todos paz. E suas familias se confortem, porque eles nunca serĂŁo esquecidos.

But I leave my message here to Norberto, to his family, and to all those who were murdered so brutally on that day: the workers in the towers of the WTC, NY firemen, NY policemen, doctors, and paramedics and their family members. I was at ground zero in June when I visited NY, and I felt a great evil to be in that place. The energy of the place is not good. My wife and I prayed for those who lost their lives there and we left. May you all have peace. May your families be comforted because they will never be forgotten.]

Hallo!

Ich habe gestern eine Reportage gesehen über den Anschlag auf World Trade Center. Auch wenn es so viele Jahre her ist, nimmt es mich sehr mit. Ich muss jedes mal schrecklich weinen. Als ich Mr. X fallen sah, war es sehr erschreckend für mich. Überhaupt, wo ich die ganzen Leute sah, die winkten und riefen um Hilfe und doch wußten Sie, daß keine Hilfe rechtzeitig kommen würde. Nur dieser Gedanke daran ist sehr traurig. Deshalb möchte ich allen sagen: Leute streitet euch nicht und hällt immer zusammen, es sind nur Kleinigkeiten. Das Leben kann so schnell vorbei sein. Gott segne Euch. Ich bete für euch alle.

--Magda aus Deutschland

[Ed. - Hello! Yesterday I saw a report about the attack on the World Trade Center. Even though it was so many years ago, it still grabs me. Every time I have to cry terribly. As I saw Mr. X fall, I was very frightened. In general, where I saw all the people calling for help, and you knew nevertheless that no help would come in time, just that thought in itself is very sad. Therefore, I would like to say to everyone: Don't argue over little things. Get together. Life can be gone in an instant. May God bless you. I pray for you all. Magda from Germany.]

I saw "the falling man" last night and most of you guys are confused, and it hurts me to read how people describe him as "the falling man". That is not his name. That is not what he stands for.

i am here in eastern ky.  since 9.11  I have had horrid thoughts go thru my heart,  it was a tragic day this day of 9.11,  my family and friends have had several of our sons and daughters (including my son) join the military in there words TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE, I only wish for this family to know that my heart aches for all of the families of 9.11 so for this man to be called a jumper is not fair. but if one looks closely at some of the pics of the people in the towers windows who is to make the call that he did not stumble or loose footing while standing there in the window trying to get a small token of fresh air. how do we not know that he was not pushed accidently by the person behind him trying to get a small breath of air. so before we decide he is a jumper let us allow our god to decide what he was,  AS FOR MOST OF HERE IN EASTERN KY MR. HERNANDEZ HE IS A HERO IN OUR MINDS.  so I will leave this to all who want to take the time to read thank you and please in your prayers remember those as often as u can and also pray for our military thank you all

I just finished watching a documentary in class on the story of the falling man.... I could not believe how touching this story really was.... At first I wasn't sure who the falling man was, then when I heard the family's story, I realised it was not Norberto.... When I heard the family's cry to clear their father's name of the falling man, I knew that it was not him.... I don't believe that we should want to know who this man is.... Let it live on in peace. It is painful enough to know that a loved one was hurt in such a painful way, let alone knowing how they died.... Let it be.... My respects to the Hernandez family.

Whoever this person may be, he is the strongest and bravest I have ever seen. Their was once a great saying in history, which was: "the noble die by their own hands" and also "the brave man takes his own life, before death (the enemy) takes it from him". I believe them both. This man did not run from death but faced it and conquered it, forever remaining in our history books as "the Falling Man". Peace with his soul and rest, along with those who loved and knew him. A noble strong man who chose to die by his own hand than that of murderers. A true person, who will be rewarded for his brave acts, BY LIVING FOREVER IN WHAT HE HAS DONE. He has gained eternal life. May his name be forever known as strong and brave. Remember it is not the person who is remembered after they are gone, but the things they did to be remembered. Brave, very brave, man.

However, I am glad for you that it was not him, and I thought right from the start of the programme that it was clear from the sequence of photos that it wasn't him.

From all the pictures and news clips I have read, I have come to the conclusion that, in addition to loosing your family member, I also think that you have been messed about by the newspapers, and I hope you can all recover from your loss and move on.

WE WILL NEVER FORGET, AND I THINK YOU ARE AMAZING FAMILY FOR DEALING WITH ALL OF THIS!

Having just watched a documentary on Channel 4 today, my thoughts are with the family of N.H. He was a brave and courageous man. May God rest his gentle soul and all the victims of 9/11. May the Good Lord grant them all eternal rest.

I can't begin to imagine the tragedy you have suffered during 9/11. I've just watched the documentary 'The Falling Man,' and it is just a unimaginable the lengths some people went to to try and save themselves. Our thoughts are with you all.

After watching "The Falling Man," I agree he was not Norberto Hernandez, and I am happy for your family. However, there was no shame in what the Falling Man did; he took his life and fate into his own hands, and instead of burning to death and becoming dust, he chose to free himself of pain and flew into the hands of God, returning to the powers that created him. It was not suicide; it was murder. No, "that ... is (was) not my (your) father", but he was just as brave--or even perhaps more so--than Norberto Hernandez was, and he is in heaven and will always be remembered as fearless, brave, graceful, and now at peace, along with all the other "jumpers" and victims of 9-11. Never condemn others for actions you obviously could never understand nor even contemplate--shame on you. May we never be faced with such terror again, and may we never forget. God bless us all.

I watched the documentary (9/11 The Falling Man) on Irish TV tonight. Very very sad. For anyone who had to jump it's unimaginable what they had to suffer to do such a thing.

To the Hernandez family. I'm sure you would have preferred if your father didn't become some well known for this reason. My thoughts are with you and always remember who your father was to you, no one else can know that.

Hi, I'm Kristof and I live in Kortrijk, Belgium. With now on the fifth anniversary of the attacks a lot of documentaries are being shown on tv and one of the documentaries is the story of Norberto Hernandez, a chef patissier in the windows of the world restaurant in the World Trade Center. His tale went around the world as the falling man or the jumper, although the picture that went around the world as the symbol of the jumping people wasn't him. This documentary really took me, hit me emotionally. That's the reason why I post this message. I want to express my deepest condelences to the family Hernandez, I know I'm 5 years too late but still I find it necessary to express my feelings.
I also want to express my condolences to all the other families of victims of 9/11 and the victims of the wars that were a certain stage in the war against terror that begun with the attacks on 9/11.
Hopefully such horror will never occur again!

Hernandez was a victim of human insane. Some peoples try to solve their problems killing inocent peoples in the name of religion. No religion really don't promote the killing of a person with other religion. This is only when the humans try to use one religion to reach their goals. Is not fair to kill innocent peoples. Hernandes paid the tribute for this fundamentalistic interests. At the same time paid also his childrens and wife. God bless his family.

I too, saw 'the falling man' and felt so compelled to write this as i really wouldn't want my family to be the focus of the media, such as this tragic event.

I really don't know what else to say, other than, even though its nearly 5 years after that tragic day, you are all still in my thoughts and my prayers.

I hope that time brings to peace to your family, although I did not loose anyone close to me on that terrible day in 2001, It breaks my heart that their are people who did.
I have just read an article about Norberto, and to think that such a normal, everyday family man ....Just like me can get caught up in such an act of pure hatred makes me fear for the future of the world.

May time and love heal the wounds inflicted by evil.

I didnt know this man. I cannot imagine what he experienced. I cannot think at how his family must have felt at their loss. What I do know is that he and countless others have left a legacy for future generations. A legacy of hope that this world will be free of terrorism, of fear for one's safety. For freedom. To lose one's life is horrendous, but to know that the loss of life on that fateful day will influence future peace for all mankind. I thank you for that Norberto and all that lost their lives that terrible day

My Father Norberto Hernandez was the sweetest man that had ever lived in my eyes.  I believe that his death was more than unjust.  My father was to live for many and many years.  I understand that God called  his son and children to salvation and that's the only thing that keeps me going on a day to day basis.  I will never forget the great times and my father's huge heart and those that knew him wouldn't either.  My Father's memory shall live on forever not only in my heart but of all who truly knew this humble, loving, caring; man, husband, father, grandfather, brother,uncle, cousin and FRIEND!!!!!!!
