Terry Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Callous as it may seem, shooting down any commercial planes currently in the air and not responding to directions is probably the only thing we can do. The planes only carry a couple of hundred people at the most. But if one can be crashed into the right target, many more may die. But it's a horrible call to have to make.

Henry Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 All my news is coming from co-workers with access to radios giving me updates.

@DCGoldPants Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 I also read that Israel is evacuating all it's missions and in London they are going nuts also. If these people are from Palestine. This isn't something where you just let their gov't say they'll handle it. You go in, take over that country and weed out whoever did this. I was freakin for about an hour today cause my Dad was supposed to fly out of DC. Luckly he never left the house. ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.theotaku.com/dragonball/animated/gokou5.gif" border=0> <IMG SRC="http://www.theotaku.com/dragonball/animated/vegeta2.gif" border=0> <IMG SRC="http://www.theotaku.com/dragonball/animated/piccolo12.gif" border=0> <IMG SRC="http://www.theotaku.com/dragonball/animated/piccolo14.gif" border=0> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 A 757 taking off from Dulles, headed towards LA, with 60 passengers, has been "lost" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 These guys have got to be hijacking these planes with guns. Didn't one freaking airline security checkpoint find anything?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 It goes beyond that. Obviously, the people hijacking those planes were capably pilots. There's no way in hell you could force one of the airline pilots to do that, under any level of duress. This was incredibly well orchestrated.

Henry Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Just heard a Palestinian group is taking credit. I cannot imagine the Palestinians having the resources to pull this off. They'd have to have help. Who knows? ------------------ "Men, there's nothing to get excited about. The situation is normal; we are surrounded."

Art Posted September 11, 2001 Author Share Posted September 11, 2001 TCO, That "lost" plane was the first to hit the World Trade Center. Either that or the second, but the second was the Boston stolen plane. Terry, the guns weren't found, I'm guessing, because these guys had inside employee assistance. Who here will complain about airport delays and security in the future? ------------------ Doom is in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted September 11, 2001 Author Share Posted September 11, 2001 United Airlines Flight 93 airliner headed from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco, crashed near Somerset, Pennsylvania -- police said initial reports indicated no survivors. It was not known if this was connected to the attacks. I hope that's the lost plane because I don't like the thought of another in the air right now. ------------------ Doom is in the box.

TennesseeCarl Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 I'm just numb...can't concentrate on anything else (but I'm going to have to very shortly - like it or not, I have a trial later this afternoon). If you have any Arab-American friends or loved ones, you might be doing them a great kindness by telling them to hunker down for a few days and stay out of public view. There's already a lot of anger brewing out there (rightly so)and I'd hate to see some poor folks who've come over here to make a new life become further victims of this stuff.

Zen-like Todd Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Surprisingly enough (or, not so surprisingly, I went there on a hunch), even though cnn.com is slammed, cnnsi.com is up and has a link to a summary of events. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/breaking/cnn.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 I just heard that a UA plane has made an emergency landing in Cleveland because of a suspected bomb aboard, and news sources suspect that it is the final "lost" plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF4L Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 You are absolutely right, Art. This is as big as Pearl Harbor, maybe bigger. We are, however, at war NOW. Maybe we just don't know with who yet, but we probably have some ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skins57 Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Guys I just heard on the radio they want people to get off the internet because of an overload on it. I am going to sign off First yesterday I was worried sick about the shape of my beloved Redskins boy what a difference 24 hours can make.

Hog Fever Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 This is not an indictment of any group of people, just reporting what was shown. I just saw a report of NBC. There are celebrations going on in the West Bank at the news of the attacks. Women, men and children out in the streets dancing………..sickening. This certainly is no way to bring us around to their point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkPSkins Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 No new news Art. All airports are still closed until the FAA says different and no one is speculating on that. I think they think that all airplanes are accoutned for. The WTC is gone. The pentagon is gutted from the E ring into the A ring with a hole about 150 across. They wont even talk about how many deaths yets. Everything is specualtion, no confirmed reports. No plane crashed into Camp David, No attack on the State Department. Only the four planes mentioned above. Two at the WTC, one at the Pentagon, and one in Sommerset. Just chaos in NYC, DC is basically closed down at every Govt level. No one has any answers and none seem to coming very quickly. ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.texaspitts.com/nakedskins.gif" border=0> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 11, 2001 Author Share Posted September 11, 2001 Nod. Thanks. 50,000 people work in the WTC. How many died? How many are yet to die when our focus turns from shock to rage? Everyone, make love to your wife tonight and enjoy. Because war is going to break out from this. We are going to Syria and Afganistan with guys and guns and we are going to make ourselves feel awfully good killing a lot of people. And when other nations get involved in that region, if they aren't apologizing and saying how great we are, they'll die too. This is a World War in the making. Sides will be taken. And death will be delivered very frequently to the side against us. ------------------ Doom is in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted September 11, 2001 Author Share Posted September 11, 2001 Radio here is saying 10,000 are confirmed dead. I wouldn't think you could count 10,000 bodies this quick. But, that's what they are saying. ------------------ Doom is in the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 my guess is that there are more than 10K with the people that couldn't get out of the WTC, plus the people in buildings near. 10K is most likely an underestimate when two 100+ floor buildings fall door on or with them. tragic.... ------------------ <IMG SRC="http://www.theotaku.com/dragonball/animated/gokou5.gif" border=0> <IMG SRC="http://www.theotaku.com/dragonball/animated/vegeta2.gif" border=0> <IMG SRC="http://www.theotaku.com/dragonball/animated/piccolo12.gif" border=0> <IMG SRC="http://www.theotaku.com/dragonball/animated/piccolo14.gif" border=0> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
