NBC showing clips of Pallies dancing and cheering in streets. Maybe the American sheeple will now wake up.....My freeper sister in Chicago suburb instant-messaged me that John Hancock Bldg, etc. evacuated. In fact, downtown Chi shut down pretty much. Thank God she didn't go into work this morning after she heard the news.....Can't do phone calls in or out here in my town in Florida. Two family members of produce manager at my local Publix here in Florida has son and another close family member who were at work this AM WTC. I'm praying for all.

UNCONFIRMED: a bomb at the 32nd Street Naval Base in San Diego.

Rita Cosby just reported the FAA is saying TWO international flights from Europe are NOT responding to radio contact. They are VERY concerned.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I doubt the bomb theory. From what I saw, the structural damage caused by the airplanes was itself not sufficient to bring the buildings down. But the fires further destroyed the buildings' structural integrity to the point where the weight of the building dragged the whole structure down.
