I am trying to read through this thread to catch up on information

Your only going to find the tinfoil army out in full force, and those of us mocking them.

I have said it is not funny that anybody died. I was not making jokes at their expense (although many keep trying to say the pilot had his throat ripped open - that is in poor taste I believe)

I mock those in the tinfoil army, because I myself find it obscene that anytime there is a (insert mode of transportation here) crash, there are those who automaically assume an entire religion or race of people are behind it, because they are unable or unwillingly to deal with reality. Before 9/11, people would have been like "poor pilot" and then moved on with their lives. Now everytime a plane crashes or train derails or a taxi goes off the road, it's blamed on a terrorism. People don't want to wait for the facts. The corpses haven't even buried, and already people think they know all of the answers and facts, when in fact, the only fact we know is that we don't know much.

I do indeed find it amusing that there are so many chicken littles cowering under their beds and desks screaming that the sky is falling, and I can't help poking fun at them. I apologize to you for getting caught up in this though.

Before 9/11 planes didn't crash into skyscrapers - at least not since 1946. And a good percentage of us so-called tinfoilers who you claim are cowering under our beds were back here at work in Manhattan on 9/12.

You're full of it. We arent talking about unfortunate accidents. We are talking about mass murder.

On 9/11, for that first 20 minutes before there was ANY evidence of terrorism (ex.: the second plane), an awful lot of people suspected foul play. Planes just don't accidentally crash into tall buildings on clear sunny days.

"I do indeed find it amusing that there are so many chicken littles cowering under their beds and desks screaming that the sky is falling" = Most I read are not doing that but trying to get questions answered or information posted. Some are speculating - but that's what FReepers do.

We are in a War. The World is at War, whether we like it or acknowledge it or not.

I know there is gallows humor - but your comments and those of some others just did not seem appropriate. I'll try to gather information elsewhere. Thanks for the apology. And you can help it it you try.
