Each tower held 25000 people. The pentago holds 20000 people. 10000 is a very low number. I expect total deaths to be over 25000 with total casualties well over 50000.

This will the largest loss of life in a single 'event' in the US.

I pray for the souls of those passed and for the well being of those currently injured.

Try 100,000. THE twin WTC held 50,000, not including Port Authority tunnel, tourists etc. 7 or 8 million people work in Manhattan, most downtown. Imagine twice the no dead that died in Viernam? Impossible to assimilate right now

We will have to wait and see. Actually, I believe there were battles in the Civil War where the causalty rate may be higher.

But clearly, NOTHING compares to this since, and NOTHING compares in terms of non-combatant loss.

I expect that the losses will approach and maybe exceed 20,000 in terms of deaths.

We MUST exact a swift, horrific and lasting retribution against any organization that did this AND against ANY nation that abetted it.

Once we know who those organizations and nations are, I believe thus use of tactical nuclear devices is in order and would make the statement to those responsible and to thew world to NEVER EVER consoider such action against the USA again.

... I am completely diraught over this. I know I am speaking emotionally. But I believe just the same that such a response is necessary. The pictures of those explosions, and particularly of those buildings collapsing ... and KNOWING what it meant as it happend, are etched on my consciousness until the day I die.
