Well, if it is terorist-related, I hope it started in Canada. Let Chretien take the heat for it!

Not even a flicker here in the Boston area. Just got home about 20 minutes ago. Normal commute, light traffic. It was a warm day but we've had hotter. I sometimes work in NYC so I know what those poor folks are dealing with. One never realizes how many people are actually in NYC on a normal workday until the buildings and subways empty out. Those liveshots are amazing. It's like somebody stirred a giant anthill.

Fox radio just said that it was an explosion but not terrorist related. So, I ask, what caused the explosion?

Must have been that big afternoon storm a couple days ago. I'm a few miles north of you, but the power didn't go out here.

OH YES! OF COURSE!

NO TERRORISM! NOPE! NOTHING TO SEE HERE, FOLKS! MOVE ALONG! MOVE ALONG!

JUST BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN WARNED THAT AL-QAEDA WAS PLANNING A HUGE ATTACK AT THE END OF SUMMER, SHOULDN'T AT ALL LEAD YOU TO DRAW ANY CONCLUSIONS OVER THIS!

NOPE! NOPE! PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN! NO TERRORISM! NOPE! NOT HERE! NOTHING TO SEE! MOVE ALONG, FOLKS, MOVE ALONG!

Honestly, does anyone with half a brain believe this B.S. cover story being put out? Who are they kidding? Would the government ever admit it was a terrorist attack unless there was incontrovertible proof (as in, two airplanes going into two buildings, and caught on video)?!

This is a JOKE!

Yeah, the video coming out of NYC is scary. Looks like something out of a bad movie..... Lots of sirens in the background.

It's wartime. Time to call up the National Guard?

Already done, and been here since December 2002.

DHS has put out nothing except the denial that this is a terror event. DHS is investigating.

WH and Crawford have been made aware. no new reports.

Fresh power surge at 1720 EDT felt in NE US region. Civil authorities are asking people not to panic.

Sorry, Folks, that's all I got for now...

Officials are concerned about the cascading effect, they have never seen anything like this.

Yeah, cause everyone working 38 years ago has retired. They don't know which button to push on the computer to fix things.
