IF it was a 747 then it was most likely from NYC JFK. 747s are usually for international flights and JFK is an international airport. JFK to CHI would be a likely route for a United or American aircraft as they have hubs in CHI. Pittsburg is a hub for US Air, but they have no 747s.

One thing I don't understand: The "powers that be" have time to monitor every word that comes across the web here on Freerepublic but they had not a clue that something as organized as this terrorist attack on the United States was in the works?

Don't be so sure. You may have missed the posts from yesterday talking about the ISP's servicing the muslim community that were seized and searched.

You know, this really bugs me. The "rest of the military" on Threatcon Charlie... but they are all scattered all over the globe, when the biggest threat is right here at home. We really *NEED* to pull out of some of those "peacekeeping" missions and let them come home and live in the country they are sworn to protect.

Local report reconfirms it was a 747 and told to putdown or be shot down. Local news reports another flight from Pittsburgh International was hijacked and is circling Dulles at this time. ... Local scanner reports from 747 indicate there are fatalities. Scanner reports request all air traffic to land in the vicinity east and southeast of PGH. More later. Waiting for hospital reports from wife.

Reports are saying we were warned at least a week ago.

Offer a prayer for the piolet that had to pull the trigger on the loaded airliner. You just know that was a tough order to follow and will weigh heavily for the rest of his life.
