10,000 Dead?
Fox News | 9/11/2001 | Earl B.

Posted on 09/11/2001 8:46:53 AM PDT by Earl B.

Should I believe my ears? Did one of the analysts on Fox News just say that estimates of fatalities were in the range of 10,000 persons? If so, this dwarfs everything. How many died at Pearl Harbor? In Viet Nam? The Korean War? At Hiroshima or Nagasaki?

We're at war. Who are we fighting against?

Absolutely right. No question that America needs to serve justice. However, let's not forget that there is no way this could have been done without inside help. And there are plenty of native born Americans who hate this country even more than people from the Middle East.

Bin Laden...maybe, but only with help from groups inside this country.

These statistics are horrible, but there is a major difference from today's event. Military men in uniform is a tragic death, but these were civilians. Men, women, and children sitting in their desks or subway seats are different from volunteered and trained soldiers.

FOX News is also saying they may not know a total fatality number until as early as the end of the week. We may not know how many innocent people died until on into the weekend.

"I'm sure there were plenty of little schoolkids taking their little field trips to the New York area... I sure hope not though."

I'd expect few schoolkids unless the NYC schools are on a vastly different calendar than we are here in PA. Our boys just returned to school last week. There's no way that our school could get organized for field trips this quickly, what with permission slips, organizing chaperones, transportation, etc. Hopefully that's true of NYC-area schools as well.
