My wife just called me with this. I can't find it anywhere else. She saw it on the local TV channel.

If it wasn't related to terrorism, and wasn't being trailed...what was the F-16 doing there? Oh...it was probably on a 'training exersize'. Forget it.

I think AmericanInToykyo is rude today too. I am enjoying the smiles and comeradery here today on this thread. I got up and cried, first thing, as I remembered two people I knew who died on 9/11. I thought I wouldn't smile today. I was so thankful to find this thread, and some smiles. God bless you all today and always and thanks for all the smiles on such a heavy sad day!!!!!!

[buffyt]

Thanks for posting that article. I read it at 5am this morning and closed the window. Later I wanted to find it again and couldn't. Thanks!!!!

Never argue with a Klingon. --an old Hobbit proverb

But I still think that by laughing and enjoying our lives while we drink blood pudding is exacting a revenge. We can do both. I'll ask Worf what he thinks the next time I see him.

**Laughter is the best revenge.**

"That's actually a myth. Killing the bastards is the best revenge" You are both right.... Killing the bastards and then laughing about it is the best revenge.

The Arkansas Air National Guard flies out of that airport as well. They usually have fighters parked on the tarmac.

The same could be said of the 911. I have a buddy with a 911, and at 6'6, 290, it's rather coffin-like riding with him.

About my friend Tu-Ahn who died on 93rd floor of WTC on 9/11/2001

Vietnam Refugee Worked Her Way Up
Dec. 27, 2001

Tu-Anh Pham, 42, of Princeton, N.J., found success in the United States after fleeing Vietnam with her family during the fall of Saigon in 1975.

She had recently been promoted at Fred Alger Management, a mutual fund firm with offices on the 93rd floor of the World Trade Center, when a hijacked jetliner crashed into her building on the morning of Sept. 11.

The terrorist attack came only one day after Pham had returned from maternity leave, following the birth of her daughter and only child, Vivienne.

Strengthened by her tumultuous childhood, Pham exhibited a quiet determination in her professional life, rising to become a vice president and chief financial analyst at Fred Alger Management, where she worked for four years.

Pham led a nomadic childhood after her family became refugees because of the Vietnam War. They lived in relocation camps in Guam and California before settling in Tulsa, Okla., where Pham graduated from high school.

She attended the University of Oklahoma, earning a degree in chemistry and chemical engineering.

Pham went to work for Dow Chemical in Texas, where she met her husband, Thomas Knobel. The two eventually changed careers, with Pham earning a master's degree in business from the University of Pennsylvania, and Knobel becoming a novelist.

Pham began a variety of consulting jobs. At one point, she lived in England while Knobel lived in New Jersey. The couple moved to Princeton in 1994 to settle down and start a family.

In addition to her husband and daughter, Pham is survived by her mother, Kim-Anh Nguyen of Atlanta.

--Rob Fernas (Los Angeles Times)

My husband just sent me this, he worked with Tu-Ahn and Tom in the 1980s.

Tom told Dennis and me that he was going to marry Tu-Ahn at a party at Jasmine Hall in Lake Jackson Texas about twenty years ago. They had not told their parents yet. But that was yesterday, and it is gone......

Tu-Anh Pham, and her husband, Tom Knobel, were Dow co-workers in the 1980's in Freeport Hydrocarbons Research. Tu-Ahn died in the collapse of the WTC on the day after returning from maternity leave. I remember her as a friendly, professional co-worker and was deeply saddened to hear of her tragic death.

What a great movie title " Three Men in a Bathroom".

[Samwise]

It is also possible that the three "types" were messing with people's minds. It's a new joke. Act weird and then scream bloody murder when someone questions you. Gang-types love to do it in malls.

And that was BEFORE they sat on the toilet and took their morning "Osama"... "Islam is a religion of pees..."

So if I read this correctly, you're telling me that they squat to pee.

Please take it easy. I have not the foggiest idea what has earned me suddenly your private freepmails and now this on FR. The thread was on the minute-to-minute Breaking News reporting of the airline emergency this afternoon in Arkansas, and it morphed into a discourse on BBQs, and I made ONE comment that we ought to return to the subject of the thread. You are not the only one who lost a friend in the attacks a year ago. Please settle down. OK?
