BTW, one plane hit the WTC to attract the media, the second came later to make sure it was seen on live TV.

That, and to kill the emergency workers that responded to the first hit.

Thanks to Goetz_von_Berlichingen for pointing that out.

I have an idea that kills two birds with one stone. Send Congress and the Senate home to telecommute. No more big target in DC.. No more travel concerns for those on the West Coast. No more temptation to lead a "Condit like" double life. No more Lobbyist receptions every afternoon. In fact, "K" street might just dry up.

Start the drum-beat. Send them HOME! Imagine if they heard what their constituents were saying over coffee instead of the "insiders".

COME ON FREEPERS -- JUST DO IT!

I think everyone on this thread is giving them more credit than they deserve. They are extremely lucky to have hit both towers and I'm sure OBL views them as being very successful. One plane hitting almost anything in NY/DC=success.

How lucky for the office workers and how sad for their rescuers!!

If this was their intent, then why not hit the same building again. No emergency workers in the second.
