Just got on, freeperfromnj.

I guess it's sensitive information, but here goes, anyway:

Any heads up we can get may help.

I'm in CT- mom needed surgery yesterday. She is 81- and doing well!

My son called from Gettysburg area- the GWEN tower had returned back to normal (white strobe light)

Last night (5/19), the light was back to flashing red.

Would a test be conducted so soon? I don't think so. I think they tested it last week to make sure it worked, and turned it on yesterday as a backup communication system in case the milstar/gps based systems fail.

Other information- there are some 40 stolen semis. The truckers are being told to watch for sabotage- if they are carrying hazardous materials- to try to signal to another truck driver to pull ahead of them if they sense danger. The plan calls for a truck hauling something innocuous like veggies to pull in front, protecting the hazmat truck.

If no other truck is available, the driver is to ram the car attempting the sabotage- even if the drivers are females with children.

I have alot more information to report. Including observing a "cooler" being removed from the sidewalk in front of a nice highrise in Philly- Center City- by fire department personnel. No fire alarm and no evacuation of the building. other vehicles present at the scene- including one never seen before- like a very low, cement colored vehicle, with a series of small square windows along the sides-

I hope I have gone totally over the edge. Please pass the valium and I'll add a cold beer.

God help us all. I do believe- if you can- get OUT of the target cities if at all possible.

>>>My son called from Gettysburg area- the GWEN tower had returned back to normal (white strobe light) >>>Last night (5/19), the light was back to flashing red. ---------------------------------------------------------- I do know they have tests scheduled in Alaska because of all the jamming and hacking incidents. Maybe GWEN is running tests too. See Below: NOTICE OF PROPOSAL to Conduct Global Positioning System Noise Jamming During Exercise Northern Edge 2004 Aeronautical Study 04-AAL-011NR During the next planned Northern Edge Exercise the US Air Force will be jamming the GPS signal to provide necessary military training to their pilots conducting Air Operations in Restricted Area 2205 about 25 miles east of Fairbanks VORTAC. The jamming is to take place from June 4, 2004 through June 11, 2004 at the times posted on the attached chart depicting the area. Note: SUAIS including VHF transmitter/receiver, radar, recording, and telephone capability will be operational during the GPS jamming. Any pilot requiring the GPS system for emergency use during this period can have the jamming stopped by requesting through FAI AFSS, Anchorage Center, or SUAIS frequency. Also, Air Force will ensure that the proper NOTAMS are issued prior to their operation. If you have any questions please contact Joe Rollins, AAL-533, (joe.rollins@faa.gov), 907-271-5865.

Can you give us the background information for this? Is this inside info, anywhere to confirm?

All4one.....ping to Philadelphia story on 911 failure.

This is the second time this week that a tanker has crashed on I-70 in the Kansas City metro area. On the radio, it was reported that five or six vehicles in addition to the tanker were on fire. The police said that the tanker carried corrosive material that could cause severe respiratory distress or death in this article:

This article has a driver's statement that makes the actual accident sound suspicious:

snip, "I looked in my rearview mirror and saw trucks and automobiles going every which way. Then, all of a sudden, one struck me in the rear end. It was a mess, that's what it was," Welch said.
