"Now is not the time to be wetting our pants and cowering in our homes. It's self defeating."I don't think that anyone is doing that.
Well....just in case anyone is thinking of doing it:) Gotta be proactive.

"Interesting the President chose to give shopping so much prominence on his list. Number Two! The message is clear: Just keep shopping and everything will be ok!"
Ok, lets win the war. I am going to the grocery store this afternoon.

"Can you say ... "I sound really assinine right now!" You do sound really assinine right now. This is a discussion forum, you know an exchange of ideas place?
To categorically put your fate and thought fully in the hands of the "professionals" is ludicrous.
It was but as month or so ago we were told by the "pros" that the guy from AMI Media contracted Anthrax from a camping trip to N.C.
And seriously, no one in their right could possibly believe the TWA 88 explanation.
Remember, all government workers are hired under EOE and Affirmative Action guidelines..you know, Abdullah can still get a 10 point advantage over most of us for a government job.......Incompetance runs high, my friend.
And no, I don't think it was a stinger, but the possibilities remain open, in this climate, not to disregard anything.

I think Rivero was right about more than one bomb and more than just McVeigh and Nichols being involved. Was it a govt. conspiracy....well, I won't go that far. His blaming Sept. 11 on Bush was too far though.....dead wrong.

I would guess there are Muslims working in maintenance. There's a declared Jihad against the US, I hadn't heard it was ever called off.

I thought this was a very interesting perspective from Rockaway residents.

ABC is reporting through several sources, one of them being Mayor Giuliani, that part of a wing landed in the bay near by.
John Nance, former airline pilot and ABC's Aviation Expert, felt that was very significant, stating that wreckage in three sites, with a wing landing apart from the engine and the fusilage, indicated something "more catastrophic" than an engine falling off.
He stopped short of saying bombs or "terrorists," but that seemed to be where he was leaning. There are baggage compartments near where the wing meets the fusilage. He thought it very unlikely that an engine falling off could take off the entire wing.

I don't want to get too creepy, but isn't it odd how WTC and the Pentagon was between 9 and 10 A.M, OKC was between 9 and 10 A.M., anyone know what time the Cole occurred?
I got Reynolds Wrap for the expected incoming flames.

1. Explosion
2. NYC
3. Aircraft
4. Veteran's Day.
5. Previous statement from OBL/Al Qaieda about "planes raining down from the sky"
No hint of terrorism here.
For me the first hint was the people that I knew had just been terrified for a few seconds before they died. Being Terrorized is quite a hint of terrorism for me.
To: Central Scrutiniser
I'm not an expert, so see #168. What does your friend say about such an accident taking the whole wing off?
To: stryker
On international flights there is still no screenings of checked baggage.Not categorically true. I've been on international flights where ALL baggage was scanned before you made it to the check-in counter.

"His blaming Sept. 11 on Bush was too far though.....dead wrong." I agree with you a hundred percent. That, I felt was way, way over the line.

use some common sense here...previous attacks...new york...we're bombing the shit out of the taliban right now...c'mon. if it looks like a duck...
To: dep
Our local abc news affiliated just reported that the US Coast Guard has recovered large portions of the plane from Jamacia bay. This would point to the plane breaking apart in mid-air.
To: Sabertooth
He thought it very unlikely that an engine falling off could take off the entire wing. My understanding is that these planes are designed so that the engine is supposed to break away cleanly and allow the plane to continue flying under ideal circumstances. Basically the entire thing is highly suspicous. At anyrate there are more ways to bring down a plane then a bomb if you have access to the plane. Just like there are more ways to bring down the WTC than a bomb. I am sure if you are a terrorist and you have nothing to do all day but sit around and think about it and read techinical specifications you could come up with something.
