I just turned and looked out my office window and saw a column of black smoke rising towards Union Beach/Perth Amboy NJ.
I then felt the force of an explosion rattle my window.

Wow, cnn's better at spin than the NTSB which wouldn't dare admit the WTC was intention until it was too late. Or the security people who said it was 'all clear' to go back to their offices..

CBS now reporting it's jet fuel and its an accident. There is NO WAY they can possible rule out terrorists at this point. After the fire is out and they examine the wreckage, they can speculate to their hearts' contentment.

I saw that mullah too,,,first time I ever ever saw someone draw a weapon in a pulpit for a religious service,,tells you alot. But I also noted that only about 30% of the people at the service were chanting along with him. Most of them were sitting on their hands looking sort of depressed. When are the moderates going to get up and challange these madmen?

49 dead in this fire or is that mixed up with the RI nightclub fire ?? I haven't heard of any deaths with this fire .. but Fox News is reporting the fire in R.I. that 60 have died

At least 55 thousands gallons of gasoline.And it was down to $1.659, too. Oh well, I guess the SUV drivers will have to dig deeper in the wallet to fill up...

I think after the second plane hit, everyone knew it was an attack. But at the first???
To: JustAnAmerican
Had we been of the mindset most of us are now, 9/11 would probably not have happened. Or do you feel its best to always assume these "Coincidences" are just that? Personally I prefer not to be the proverbial Ostrich.Being Chicken Little is far worse.

And I would bet a years pay, that if the second plane had not hit the second tower we would have been told that it was just an accident/coincidence. I think you are absolutely right about that.
To: Alberta's Child
To: JustAnAmerican
Agreed. You can take a liberal down for the count with just one question, "If Bush would have known about 9/11-- had arrested the hi-jackers, and if the Towers were still standing, would you be screaming at the top of your lungs "Racism" when we went after OBL in Afganistan?" They can never give me an answer.
To: JustAnAmerican
And I would bet a years pay, that if the second plane had not hit the second tower we would have been told that it was just an accident/coincidence. True. If any cell calls were made by hostages, no problem -- just dismiss the recipients as nuts and liars, like they did with the TWA 800 witnesses.

Dirtboy, you are correct in your sarcasm. It all seems very implausible. Still, it also seems like a lot of disaster in a short amount of time. (I'm not even going to bring up Columbia.) Just going on record as being a bit weirded out.

new fire near another tanker

Have they mobilized the National Guard yet?
To: twyn1
49 dead in this fire or is that mixed up with the RI nightclub fire ?? That might be the case. It sounds like the Canadian broadcasters are monitoring the other channels, but they just repeated 49 deaths as I'm typing this, and they're talking about the refinery.
