Thanks a load. Those two faces are enough to remove varnish.

I'd like to know what the aide whispered to Bush. Was it along the lines of "Mr. President, we are getting the plane ready and determining where the Secret Service wants to go, and we'll be leaving here in 5 minutes", or was it simply "Mr. President, planes have just slammed into both of the WTC towers. What do you want to do?". I suspect the former. He had to wait while the aides behind the scenes were figuring out what to do, where to do and maybe even checking to make sure there wasn't an ambush waiting outside.

I love your songs...you're a genius.

But I don't know whether you need a pat on the back for your ingenuity or a swift kick in the butt for not applying that toward some kinda real work!

The corn they are holding in the picture has obviously been picked waaay too early. It's limp with not a kernal of substance...... much like its handlers. LOL

The timeline I saw said the second plane hit at 9:38....still, that is at least 35 minutes of just sitting there.

More explicitly, the 9/11 Commission Report calls it 9:37:46 (Chapter 1, page 10).

In the Larry King interview, Kerry said that they stayed in Daschle's office until they got a call from the White House, saying that it was being evacuated and that's when they evacuated the office. Again, according to the Report, the White House started evacuation at 9:45. So they probably did sit around for 40 or more minutes total.

Why did President Bush sit there for 7 minutes? Probably because he knew he would be twiddling his thumbs until his staff could get a National Security conference call going.

This would involve locating people like Condi Rice VP Cheney, Sec Rumsfeld and others. That takes time He knew Andy Card would signal him or get him when they were ready.

I'm at work to and work gets in my way. Thanks for the kind words.

So much material and so little time.

President Bush reportedly authorized a shoot down order for the 2 DC bound planes. This may have been granted during the brief exchange captured on camera (something to the order of "we may be able to scramble some jets and take down some other known hijacked planes but require your approval to do so").

[weegee]

Kerry says he thinks he called home. No indication when that would be. (first/second/third plane).

[weegee]

Edwards just went home.
