RE: World Tade Center
Joy, be assured there is a great deal of military hardware in the air. Air Force One is not up there alone. If Air Force One is in danger, the attacker is on board!

I don't know what to say. This is too ugly and sad. I am feeling with the people--they said some were jumping from the WTC.

The first rule of revolution is secrecy. You don't even let your most trusted people in on everything. I do seriously doubt that these groups know where each other is.

Violin, I'm not talking about shooting from the hip here. We have the ability to investigate and determine who is responsible.

We haven't even gotten news whether the planes that were hijacked were fully loaded with passengers. I still can't believe the towers are gone. As a former New Yorker, this really hits home for me.

I haven't heard numbers of passengers but I did hear the airliner was a 767, and probably very full on a commuter flight from Boston.

90 on the first, and 60 on the second. Another plane has crashed in Penn. Word is that two other planes are missing, suspected to be hijacked also.

This is Bullsh!t.

There is a television on here at work, people are standing around just absolutely numb, speechless, unable to look each other in the eye...they replayed the collapse of the second tower and it has been a long while since I have felt so sick...

I'm working at Citibank and they have evacuated all of the offices in the New York area. Citigroup is one of the largest international banking firms in the world.
Basically all international banking and business has stopped. The monetary loss can not be calculated.

If Bush doesn't declare some kind of war, I think people are mad enough to do it on their own.

Do they really believe this will aid their cause? I can't believe they do. It can only be considered Holy War (Shihad?) for them.

RE: World Tade Center
The loss of life is tragic. It's only natural to feel frustrated and angry and demand some kind of retaliation. The level of coordination of the attack is too great for it not to be traced to a group and sponsor State. I'm a moderate Democrat, for Chrissakes, and I hope we respond quickly and deadly.

RE: World Tade Center
We here in Canada are watching horrified and speechless. We are listening to NPR and CBC from the NY and WASH. bureaus of NPR.

Latest I have is that a 5 story western section of the Pent was destroyed by a commercial aerocraft. A lt. col. got people to-gether for rescu7e, but heat was too intense; word id that it's an army section and crowded at that hour.

There has been another report of a com. airline crash near the Pent and another in Pa.

All aeroports are closed in Canada to receive U.S. internal flights in the air. All int. flights are cancelled and most re-routed here.

The State Dept. have asked Canada to apply max. security to U.S. consulates etc. The RCMP have been called out to do so. U.S. flags have been removed from buildings.

God help us all, especially you guys.

RE: World Tade Center
By now the military is active in ways you couldn't imagine. I am sure it was the military. You crowd it, warn it, buzz it and finally if you have to, shoot it down.

I'd planned to leave tomorrow for Joyce Kilmer/Slickrock for a few days. Think I'll do it. Get away from the troubled world while I can.
