I flew last week on American and the captain announced that all American cockpit doors had been fortified by that date.

Your point is interesting- maybe there is something to it maybe not. I've flown in and out of JFK several times and I do recall both security and Customs to be rather lax. But then, it's been over 10 years the last time I used that airport.

575: "Before we started letting in the dregs of the third world America worked just fine with its domestic labor force."

Hi CarolynBe:

If it weren't for our diverse and vibrant immigrants, the American economy would stagnate and wither away.

It's almost anti-American to be against immigration.

This is exactly what OBL is hoping to occur, either by his cells' actions or by our fear escalating this recession into a full-blown depression.

Liberal utopia. Industry shut down= mother earth. Share the wealth anti-capitalists, ELF. This is not the work of OBL.
This is the work of socialists attempting to change society to suit their ideal of an ideal goverment and way of life.
You heard it here first.
This aftermath of the WTC is not OBL! The socialist are recieving help from Cuba.

Sorry .. I just did a copy/paste .. you are correct .. they said an explosion

[MindBender26]

Intuition is great in defensive mode, but facts are better in offensive mode. Always better go get facts straight when you set off to kill someone.

[chainsaw]

They said explosion NOT bomb.

Brace yourself for government spin And coverup.
I sincerely hope I am wrong.

If it was terrorism, "W" has to say so whether he wants to or not.

Are you certain that the crescent moon will not be seen in Islsamic countries until Saturday? Immediately after the crash I thought of their calender and wondered.

Does anyone have a link to the Islamic calender handy?

Plane Crash Sends Shockwaves Around U.S.   (8:16 a.m. PST Nov. 12)

WASHINGTON/JABAL-US-SARAJ, Afghanistan (Reuters) - The United States was on alert on Monday after a passenger plane with 255 people aboard crashed in New York as U.S.-backed opposition forces made dramatic gains in Afghanistan against the ruling Taliban.

If I could get a gender dig in here - the male achilles heel is the tendency to linear, procedural reasoning and boxed thought. Why? its too freaking slow.

Intuition works best in times like these; summing up a scenario from a fast integration of the sensed, the subconsciously sensed, and intellect.

I dearly hope you never work for NTSB or any actual important job requiring logical thought. Miss Cleo is hiring, I hear, though.

Keep in mind "they " only observe Rammdan during day time hrs.

Hope you don't ever get a job with the FAA or work with the CAP.

Engine by gas station appears to be relatively intact, suggesting it came off at the mounts rather than 'blowing up.'

There was an area on the engine casing that appeared to have a peculiar half-circle 'spiderweb' fracture. A fireman was taking notes on that area. Cannot speculate on whether the engine casing got that fracture on impact or prior to impact, but the fracture looks like an impact (caved in) rather than tensile fracture on the side. It could be the engine, after torquing off its mounts, struck something as it was falling.

Another (?) engine appeared to have come through a three-story Victorian home -people OK- demolished the home in back and went into a boat in the back yard, where it erupted into flames. I haven't seen engine #2 on film.

Engines when the come apart will lose turbine blades and these could fly into the fuselage, which could seem like an on-board explosion. An engine coming off its mounts could also make a sound like an explosion that would be noticed before anyone would notice the engine itself. If it came apart at the mount the engine would remain relatively intact.

One doozy of a fire there.

CBS 880 reporting FBI believes bomb on board...

stop spreading disinformation - The FBI said "Explosion" on board, not "bomb", you are jumping to conclusions.

Did you HAVE to pick MY city? =^)
