Crude Oil, Gasoline Plunge on Terrorist Plot; U.S. Stocks Climb
Aug. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Crude oil fell and gasoline plunged the most since September on speculation fuel demand will slow after U.K. authorities arrested 21 men planning to blow up airplanes. Stocks rose, helped by the lower energy prices and better-than-expected earnings.
Oil and gasoline also dropped today because BP Plc said it may keep part of the Prudhoe Bay oil field open. Oil surged on Aug. 7 when the company said it would shut all operations because of pipeline corrosion. In the three months after the Sept. 11 assault, oil fell 35 percent as the economy slowed and people traveled less.

Mexico City, august 10th.- United States President George W. Bush said Thursday that a foiled plot to blow up multiple flights from Britain to the United States shows "this nation is at war with Islamic fascists."
"This country is safer than it was prior to 9/11," Bush said from the tarmac at Austin Straubel Airport in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
"We've taken a lot of measures to protect the American people, but obviously we are not safe ... it is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the United States of America," he said.
Authorities in the United States tightened security in airports Thursday, after British officials said they foiled a terrorism plot to blow up flights between Great Britain and the United States.
In an announcement that tightened security on both sides of the Atlantic, British authorities said they've thwarted a terror plot to detonate liquid explosives on aircraft bound for the United States.
The British authorities said more than 20 people have been arrested, while terror threat alerts have been raised to their highest levels and hundreds of flights have been cancelled worldwide. (Information provided by Finsat)

TRUE!
In the past the planes went in the ocean or other places, now they are either safe in the sky or parked on the tarmac.
Of course, there are those that keep falling out of the sky.
