Anyone else ever wonder why?

How many times have you seen a news report of a building being on fire and inevitably there will be people jumping to their deaths. I've always wondered why?

We saw it in the WTC incident, and I know I've seen news videos many times throughout my life of people leaping from a burning building only to fall to certain death, which to me seems much worse than dying of smoke inhalation. I could be wrong, but it still haunts me as to why someone would jump. Your thoughts?
