Watch: Man’s leap into 9/11 memorial reflecting pool captured on camera

The video footage, widely shared on social media, shows the man walking to the pool with a 30-foot drop before taking the daring plunge. It remains unclear what prompted his actions or if he had any specific motive.

The National September 11 Memorial & Museum, a solemn site commemorating the September 11, 2001, attacks was disrupted when the unidentified man jumped into the reflective waters surrounding the twin reflecting pools that stand where the Twin Towers once stood.
