That is a good point -- but read his words again (or for the first time if you haven't yet):
"I am in NYC. The tower just collapsed. It is chaos here. People have been seen JUMPING out of the towers to try and save themselves. There is black ash falling all over the city. It is a nightmare that no one has ever dared dream. I am speechless." -- posted by thefactor at 10:07 a.m. Eastern on 9/11/2001
"Words cannot express what is going thru our heads right now after watching that tower fall. That building is something that I, and in fact everyone in this country has known as a symbol for this great land of ours for our entire lives. And it just disintegrated on top of firemen, police, and civilians. Thousands are dead most likely. This is hell. Pray for us as we pray for you." -- posted by thefactor at 10:20 a.m. Eastern on 9/11/2001
Captain, I hope you are right. You have provided me some sanity with your fresh air and common sense.
I just have to say again that your point seems so valid and has calmed me. Thanks for thinking of it. It still would not surprise me, however, if this thing went either way -- it could be a TV watcher, someone in the neighborhood, or possibly a tenant in the tower.
Sometimes the most obvious facts -- like, "I'm in Tower 2" -- just don't always occur to people to make.
