I'm not particularly interested in what you are particularly interested in.
And I'm not particularly interested in trying to conjure up some kooky conspiracy theory for something that doesn't exist.
That Al Falah mosque has some pretty high security. Just look at that fence! If only our border was that secure. Wonder what they keep in there?
Looks like you jumped from the frying pan into the fire.
You got that right.
Every carrier went down?
Well, now everyone is checking their bags....well almost....certain to overwhelm the baggage systems!
Thought you might find this interesting.
BS, cell service is out so no terrorist activity can be carried out by phone.
IMO something was up and they are trying to wrap it up.
Too coincidental with last night's terror attempts.
I remember that very well. I also remember the same thing happened in London after the tube bombings.
Anyone who throws around phrases like "tinfoil nuttery" should be taken with a pinch of salt and a wedge of lime, anyway. There's no good reason to take them seriously.
Yes, of course. Folks need to understand that a single control signal can activate anything from a garage door to a bomb. Any bomb.
It is not the strength of the signal, or the power. It is the fact that it can be received.
The receiving device has the power to activate whatever needs to be activated. A garage door, a dam sluce, an A-bomb. One tiny signal, from outer space, and it does what it is meant to do.
Cell phones are ideal, especially the disposable types. Untraecable, so no way to know who it is that bought them. Just patch in the ringer circuit to an amplifier (voltage multiplier using capacitors). Dial the number, and a spark goes off.
This is not difficult info to find on the internet, and that's all I will say.
Over two million Americans in Queens (how many Queens folks do you think died on the 11th?) and you want us to believe that you think it is nothing but warehouses. Your attempt at humor was lame and insulting (which is, I surmise, what you intended).
Thank you for the info. The celebration for Sept. 10 is chilling....
I enjoy not living there anymore.
I miss the seafood, the pizza, the bagels, and the museums, but on balance, it's a no-brainer. There IS civilization "west of the Hudson."
The downside is that even after 35 odd years away from "da sitty", I'm still "a New Yorker" on the inside. Sure, the "distintive 'noo yawk' accent" falls away after a coupla decades, but the "attitude" never leaves.
The result is that here in the midwest, I am constantly "misinterpreted" and there ain't anything I can do about it. A few years ago, a friend somewhat more cosmopolitan than most of my contemporaries (she was a shrink, FWIW), told me that my problem was that I was "too 'New York'" for people in the midwest.
Oh well.
No attempt at humor here. However your sarcasm in response to an honest question is pathetic.
Your question could have easily been taken as a slam against Queens. If it was an honest question, then no harm, no foul...WTC is a reasonable guy.
Like I said in a subsequent post for all I know it is nothing but a warehouse district which would have no value to a terrorist planner. But if you tell me that JFK and LaGuardia are there it will raise my interest to the nth degree.
The fact is that if WTC is a reasonable guy like you claim he would have given me the benefit of the doubt and asked me what I meant by that. Reasonable people don't launch personal attacks for perceived slights.
Anything having to do with a threat is touchy for us NYers, particularly given recent news reports. Folks are a bit on edge here. Queens is also the home of many on the NYPD and FDNY.
On the other hand, if you come to NYC you should visit Queens -- the NY Mets, Louie Armstrong's house, Museum of the Moving Image, King of Corona lemon ice stand, a giant beer garden in long island city, P.S. 1 museum, etc. etc.
Thanks, that along with the map posted earlier gives me a much better idea about the lay of the land up there.
