"Patience would've gotten you killed if you'd been on the 95th floor of the 2nd WTC building and just decided to wait for the email that it was just a construction crew doing some remodeling that went wrong."
There's a time for action and a time for patience. Burning building require action. Patience served me just fine as I decided to wait and see where Rita would go instead of running off and getting stuck in traffic. Patiently waiting for news from OKC will do me fine now. If it's terrorists, I'll have plenty of time to run around and panic later.
I'm just thinking of the next Big 12 football game on my calendar.
BTW, in the FR style, you can show someone's quote in italics by preceding there remarks with < i> (without the space before the i) and following the remarks with < /i>< p> (without the space before the / and the p)

Terrorists isn't the big story here. The big story is the silence, IMHO. If it was not terror-related, fine. No names. No remark about a body being IDed. Not even a remark about a body unable to be IDed. Nothing? Yeah, well, it's going to be hard to stop conspiracy theories at this point, isn't it?
