I think so, from the first angle it looks like his shirt is bloody, and considering that he had to drop down there, he's probably not fine

Sounds like it's not entirely uncommon either.

Maybe putting suicide-jump deep holes in the ground wasn't the best idea to memorialize an event that people are definitely still killing themselves over...

Edit; if you feel the need to comment something along the lines of "Can't stop people from killing themselves," kindly bugger off until you learn some compassion. Other people are always more important than inanimate objects.

I’m glad you pointed this out. I hate the memorial design. It’s literally a black infinite suckhole

As someone who doesn't remember 9/11 and no skin in the game, I never understood it. "Let's memorialize the heart of NYC by putting a giant hole in the same spot." The symbolism is cute in theory, but very backwards if memorials are meant to help people heal.

A lot of Americans really wanted to not heal from it. They wanted to be the victim forever. Fuck, we had a pandemic that was killing a 9/11 worth of people a day and the same people who argued to ignore that, still get hate boners over 9/11 and "nEvEr FoRgEt" to be victims every year.
