"why did the police refuse to let the crowd leave ?"

Well, if we let our imaginations run wild with all sorts of frightening terrorist scenarios like many of us did in the months after September 11, we might assume that there was something going on other than an attempt to keep the crowd out of the area where a bomb had just detonated.

I've also read that traces of tularemia have been found on the Mall in DC, after that Cindy Sheehan march. There's a link on Drudge. Seems one of the symptoms of tularemia is "progressive weakness," which is apropos in this particular instance, lol.

Oh, I didn't realize that was the only exit.
Great...cops get to make a decision about my welfare.
Doesn't make a difference now, as there wasn't any additional "bombers"...but... they didn't know diddely squat last night

Any terrorist(s) just got telegraphed that the police will lock down 80k people.

How about this on 911

This is talking about the south(2nd) tower before it got hit by the second plane....they had approx. 16 minutes after the 1st plane hit the first tower, to decide to stay or go.

"Announcements that the building was "secure" may have led to the deaths of hundreds of people. After American Airlines Flight 11 hit the north tower, fire safety officials for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operated the Trade Center, broadcast several announcements over the public-address system that the south tower was safe and that workers did not need to evacuate.

Course, the more I keep thinking about this, terrorists can wack us any time they want. Why they haven't since 911 is a mystery to me.
