Is New York Under Attack Again?

“Just Turn On the NEWS!!”

“Someb!tch!”

“Does the insanity ever end?”

“Sounds like an engine dropped off the plane. Twelve buildings hit.”

“Departing flight from JFK, must've crashed within a minute or so after takeoff, prob. not hijacked but airports in NYC, plus all bridges and tunnels in and out, are closed.”

“No evidence yet that it's linked to terrorism.”

“The plane was going to Santo Domingo. Is AmyG home safe? She was there a couple of trips recently.”

“Witness says explosion orignated from wing root. Full fuel tanks indicate that a vapor ignition is unlikely. Also there was no distress call indicating that there was a known problem. The engine could have been knocked off as a result of the explosion. So, the explosion came from nowhere and did enough damage to sever an engine and destroy enough of the air foil to prevent gliding.”

“They said the engines are made to break away but with a full load of fuel in the wings it wouldn't take much to send the wing off. I would think with the safty resrictions and the area of the malfuntion this isn't a terrorist attack.”

“There was an explosion on board the airplane. Don't rule out a bomb in the cargo of the plane yet. Whatever the reason, this is a very unfortunate tragedy.”

“Thanks, I feel better.”

“Thinair, I appreciate the headsup, but my sister-in-law is in NYC for meetings. When I first saw the thread title, I was very upset. Next time, can you just say "Plane Crash in NYC" or something a little more specific?”

“I hope there is not a next time.”

“Hey war-mongers, isn't war FUN? American Airlines, NYC, and about 9 am. Just a coincidence?

Who wants to fly American Airlines? Moohahahaha”

“That is ONE sick puppy!”

“Holy Chao! Spock takes the lead in the race to go lower than any poster has gone before.

Just in case anyone might take his ideas seriously, Spock takes extra steps to to discredit himself.

When it was just Spock's political positions that pissed people off, I was glad to have his point of view around -n it balancing things a bit and expanded the perspectives posted here. But now, if anything I think Spock's posts will just help to close more minds and turn more people off.”

“Well I look for the good in people. I still want to believe that spock has some sort of brain tumor that is causing his bizarre and sickening behavior.”

“Before this turns into another "Spock tries to get himself cyberlynched" thread, I heard that they found the flight data recorder. Anybody hear anything more recent?”

“Let's just bomb all those kids in Afghanistan regardless of what they find.”

“Spock did it!

Thank goodness we have someone to blame.........”

“Now I heard both engines fell off. No use getting all twisted until we find out definitively what caused the crash.

I heard one person on board was survivor of the WTC tragedy.

New news in Seattle: An employee went through the metal detectors at Seatac airport, the bell rings, and the employee keeps going and boards a train on the airport grounds. No one stops this person who could have now come in contact with other personal & people in the airport waiting areas.

All of the people that had boarded the planes there had to be evacuated and researched. There were 3 football field long lines of people waiting to go through searches again.

I'm glad I cancelled my trip to NY, because I have to move into my new house during Thanksgiving.”

“Lipstick, last I heard, the second engine fell off (maybe)just before the plane struck the buildings. The first one fell off 4 blocks away.

There were 2 survivors of the WTC tragedy on the plane. I think they were both born in the Dominion Republic. Very creepy...just like the movie, "Final Destination".”

“NEW YORK (CNN) -- An explosion Thursday in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan damaged adjoining high-rise buildings housing a technical school, offices and residential units and injured at least 40 people, the mayor's office said.

I pray for the destruction of New York.”

“I guess they don't like New York!

8|”

“It appears to be imploding due to the improper storage of hazardous materials. Sounds like a great neighborhood.

There's a guy here that runs a large drycleaning operation in the middle of a residential neighborhood. It's been there for years (grandfathered-in) and the guy pays off the local politicians. He had a contract to 'acid-wash' jeans for Levi-Straus for a while. The folks next door were overjoyed.”

“WASHINGTON - Congressional budget negotiators have decided to take back $125 million in Sept. 11 aid from New York, which had fought to keep the money to treat sick and injured ground zero workers, lawmakers said Tuesday.

New York officials had sought for months to hold onto the funding, originally meant to cover increased worker compensation costs stemming from the 2001 terror attacks.

But a massive labor and health spending bill moving fitfully through House-Senate negotiations would take back that funding, lawmakers said.

“Yeah, read this in the morning today.

This was a cheap, BS move!”

“What do expect?

The RNC is over and the PR value of NYC has been successfully tapped.

You didn’t expect them to keep their word, did you?”

“Does this mean I can take back the income taxes I paid back in 2001?”

“Did you folks ever see the articles a few months back about businesses that got SBA loans, designated for lower Manhattan, yet these people were not impacted by the terrorist attacks...

http://www.10nbc.com/index.asp?template=item&story_id=16263

I believe I remember reading that a flower shop in Utah got a loan from them, too. Guess the long arm of terrorism stretches real far!

“BTW, there are businesses in lower Manhattan that never recovered.”

“Don't feel bad. Our legislature won't pass laws to keep our sex offenders/child molesters in jail or mental hospitals despite Gov Patacki's pleas.”

“Or has Treebeard been hitting the bean burritos?

http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/01/08/ny.gas.odor.ap/index.html

lol, be safe up there.”

“skyscrapers getting attacked in nyc just isnt scary to us small-town midwesterners. now if them terroristas were to fly a plane into a bean silo in bumfunkegypt, iowa, then i'd be scared, cuz then you know they could strike ANYWHERE”

“No bean left behind.”

“LOL..YAAAWN...what was it from "Diamonds are Forever."

Blofeld: The satellite is at present over... Kansas. Well, if we destroy Kansas the world may not hear about it for years. Perhaps New York, with all that smut and traffic... might give them a chance for a fresh start. Washington, DC. Perfect. Since we have not heard from them, *they* will hear from us. ”

“lmao!

Goot one, HPM.”

“Ever even been to NYC, XL? Judging from the bullsh_t you write about it, I'd guess the answer is no...


BTW, does it take practice? Or are you a natural born BS artist?”

“It's the Giants!”

“Perhaps New York, with all that smut and traffic...

Smut! Yes, we do have a large pornography distribution in this city. Do you have something against naked people, too?

Or is it just naked libbies?

Now, one more question. How can we work WWII into the equation here?”

“Almost forgot:

HPM! I fart in your general direction! :)”

“That's f-ing weird.

The article was pretty confusing. Is it a methane-like odor or a gasoline-like odor?


Treebeard - the ignore feature is your friend.

“The gas smell was noticeable because it was different than the usual garbage smell that permeates the city.

Just kidding TB.”

“lol, I thought I smelled something TB.”

“I always figured Treebeard to smell more like petulie oil than farts.”

“Patchouli makes me weeze.

That stuff comes from south Asia and is designed to cover the strongest of body odor.

Treebeard is a member of The Smell Well Club.........or so I heard.”

“Dr. Bronners and patchouli oil, what are they?”
