First I'd like to come back onto the forum to offer my sincere condolences and sympathy to everyone involved and affected by the recent incidents although at this time the US is still asleep (11.15 bst).

Looking though the forum it looks as though we haven't lost anyone - is that right? - although it looks as though there have been some close scrapes.

In the UK this is a familiar scene - (albeit on a much smaller scale) Canary Wharf was blown up (a very good friend of mine was in there at the time) and the Nat West Tower - the two biggest tallest buildings in the UK - and the Arndale Centre (the biggest building in Manchester [isn't one of the VBWorlders in there??]) so we understand to a certain extent and feel for those involved completely.
