“I heard a report that Bin Laden(sp?) was making noise a few weks ago. Media seems to think he was involved.

Just a thought. Do you think that the airline pilots would crash the plane rather than hit the building? Or, were they not at the wheel?”

“Expert: Bin Laden Warned of 'Unprecedented' Attack

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LONDON (Reuters) - Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden warned three weeks ago that he and his followers would carry out an unprecedented attack on U.S. interests for its support of Israel, an Arab journalist with access to him said on Tuesday.

Abdel-Bari Atwan, editor of the London-based al-Quds al-Arabi, an Arabic-language weekly news magazine, said Islamic fundamentalists led by bin Laden were ``almost certainly'' behind the attack of the World Trade Center in New York.

``It is most likely the work of Islamic fundamentalists. Osama bin Laden warned three weeks ago that he would attack American interests in an unprecedented attack, a very big one,'' Atwan told Reuters.

``Personally we received information that he planned very, very big attacks against American interests. We received several warnings like this. We did not take it so seriously, preferring to see what would happen before reporting it.''”

“Sorry. THE media seems to think he was involved.”

“There is so much that is still unknown. I think the airlines personal must be being heavily debriefed right now. They must have many answers.”

“From this radio announcer "Would a pilot, even with a gun to his head, fly into a building?"”

“Obviously the terrorists were flying the planes.”

“In WA state, our biggest bldg is being evacuated along with the Space Needle. Our navy bases are being closely watched.”

“I'm listening to the same news feed. "dead is dead" was the response given for the pilot to ditch rather than ram.”

“I would think that no pilot would fly his plane dead center into the building. He would know he and everyone on board was dead anyway and ditch it elsewhere. They almost certainly had to be piloted by terrorist at the time of impact.”

“well, anyone who has even VISITED an A&M; school might have an idea of what happened. i have my suspicions.”

“Great, my company just signed a contract with Isreal a few weeks ago..”

“There are middle eastern planes headed for Seatac airport in WA, and they have been averted to Canada.”

“what is an A&M; room Rad?”

“John McCain says this "act of war" requires that kind of response

Orin Hatch "We're gonna get the bas!ards!!"”

“A good source just told me that the Pittsburg plane was indeed shot down. Can't confirm but it makes sense.

Stock market will probably close for a week.

Buildings two blocks away from the World Trade Center had their windows blown out and knocked everyone to the floor when the Towers collapsed.

Our whole way of life has just changed.

My nephew is a major in the Army. God bless him.

God bless America.”

“shoot, I'm not going to work, that would be F-ing nuts! Considering we sell advanced weapons to Isreal. I just called, people are still there, working as usual..

I think I'll just stay home today”

“It's amazing that about an hour ago I was thinking that people will not want to return to working in those bldgs, and now they are gone.

This is just the beginning of things to come whatever that means. It's wide open for interpretation now.”

“Anybody still think politics does not affect you?

Well, it does”

“Schools are closed early, and I'm guessing for the next few days.”

“Pentagon "blown into cross section", still working to control fire.”

“The Archbishop of New York is saying they are ready to handle injuries at the hospital he is at. Sure, the injuries are few, everyone is dead.”

“Thousands of Palestinians celebrated the spate of terror attacks in the United States on Tuesday, chanting "God is Great" and distributing candy to passers-by, even as Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said he was horrified.

The U.S. government has become increasingly unpopular in the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the past year of Israeli-Palestinian fighting, with many Palestinians accusing Washington of siding with Israel.

In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the street shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and government targets in Washington.

Demonstrators distributed candy in a traditional gesture of celebration. Several Palestinian gunmen shot in the air, while other marchers carried Palestinian flags. Nawal Abdel Fatah, 48, wearing a long, black dress, threw sweets in the air, saying she was happy because "America is the head of the snake, America always stands by Israel in its war against us."

Her daughter Maysoon, 22, said she hoped the next attack would be launched against Tel Aviv.

In traditionally Arab east Jerusalem, there was a smaller gathering of about two dozen people, many of them young children led in chants by adults. Some drivers passing the scene honked their horns and flashed victory signs from their windows.

I think I know where the first missles oughta be aimed!”

“Let's hope that complacency about international affairs has come to a halt in the U.S., and that we stop thinking of our citizenry's poor knowledge of the world is just a funny bit on the Leno show.”

“Bush on CNN”

“well said Pekka”

“I am freaked out. This is a very scary thing. I think school should be canceled, but I have class in 10 minutes. How can we be expected to even think????”

“adventuregirl, this may sound so simplistic or silly, but now is the time to think. We should all be going on with life, and not letting this terrorist act divert us as a country.

Screw the b@stards, the living will go on.”

“Some as$ holes from izreal or one of those sh!t contries are screaming with joy of this news, shooting their guns in to the air and handing out candy. We should nuke their @ss's into the stone age.



A green hewwy just landed at the airport by my house. Holy sh!t, I hope there isn't any problems that airport.”

“Ice, read kleetn's post above, it details what you are referring to.”

“Wall-Man didn't post again, I hope he and his family are ok.

We were evacuated around 10:30. I called my sister to see if they were too, and she reminded me that they (she and her husband) work for the military and they are in lock down status. Portland schools were locked down after reports of gunshots - which fortunately turned out to come from a cap gun.

This is such a tragedy, I can't believe it - so many people dead.”
