I would expect about one more.... being pestimistic....much worse...and i certainly hope not :(
I think it's safe to say that any plane not heading for it's designated diversion airport is going to be shot down.
So hopefully thats the end of the building crashes, but god help the people still on any hijacked plane.

yes it has hit an anticlimax of sorts
Lets hope everyone's radio is working then.Quote:

nor here. I also heard tha tone man quoted that he heard that the Islamics are doing this. but as of right now they do not know who did it or who is responsible
our news said that they wernt sure if it was the plane that crashed in Pittsburg or whether there is another one. Apparently the airlines arnt denying the fact that there is possibly a 5th
yeah they rekon some Afgan terrorist or something. Apparently he gave a warning 3 weeks ago.
They are partying in Jeruselam though
Apparently any plane flying around is liable to be shot down.
They've evacuated the City (in London) but there's lots of people concerned around here about Qinetiq (what was DERA) - which is about a mile from my house, and GCHQ in Cheltenham.

what parts?
Sept 11. 9/11. 911 - Emergency.
someone else pointed that out, irony
yea, i heard this was applauded in the middle-east, while that is a sickening thought, reasons for blaming islamic militants (im a muslim, and there are many muslims who r not terrorists, but then some are complete physcopaths) are obvious there is a large resentment towards the west in places in the middle-east these can be traced back to the crusades, and there has been a series of incidents since then. and that is probably why people in the middle-east are applauding thisQuote:

just to not, i am not condoning anyone who applauds this as it is a sick act which has murdered thousands of innocent people
Any one heard about a bombing in San Antonio Air Force Base?
i've not heard anything about that, when was it?
Someone said it was on local news.
I haven't heard anything yet and I am local
Katie is on Edwards AFB, so she can shed some more light on this if she is available this morning.
It seems several military units are being mobilized. I can only hope they are being sent to the 5th Fleet (Indian Ocean).
Someone mentioned that today is the anniversary of the the death of the founder of the State of Palestine. Can someone shed some light on that?
Here's something interesting :
http://www.basicbooks.com/winter2000...interview.html
Its an interview with one of the architects.
Look at heading number 5 :
"5) Since the bombing on February 26, 1993, how has the WTC changed?
It has certainly transformed as a symbol. One great irony of the towers is that they were built to withstand a 747 slamming into them - the disaster scenario of a more "innocent" era. No one in the mid-'60s, when the buildings were designed, could have anticipated that thirty years later the threat would not come from a stray airplane - a symbol of the machine age gone awry - but from modernity's discontents: terrorists who knew the building's true vulnerability was in its basement. Fortunately they didn't know how to build a bomb that would do what they wanted."
All of it!Quote:

Also, Manhattan is totally shut down now.
US has closed borders with canada and mexico...interesting
FAA has confimed 4 commercial planes in total have gone missing, so I think thats the end of it.
Can you believe they are actually celebrating this in palestina?
These people have no moral values at all, how can somebody be happy about the death of thousands of people. It's just horrible.
I'm scared that other targets will be attacked around the globe (certainly in europe).
I think that the usa and europe must send a strong (military)signal back to them.
I dont agree. Its not necessarily them that did it.
US-Canada border is still open near us.
Afghanistan has distanced itself from the attacks.
Even the palestine news agency seems shocked http://www.albawaba.com/
and interestingly on the chat forum the people don't seem to be celebrating, rather they are confused.
And our building has gone to Orange plus one alert. Like I'm supposed to know what that means???

Their not responsible ofcourse, but the fact that they are happy about it(I saw it on the news) shows enough about the way they are thinking.

Don't be a **** head. Where do you get this. Why do you think it was Palistine.
td.
why build a bomb when one is already built. they said that a 747 is a bomb in itself. 1,000's of gallons of fuel, 200-400 people, the engines. what is funny is the the planes hit towards the top of the buildings and they still came down. shows how old they were.Quote:

there was footage on the news, showing their reaction as the news of the disaster filtered through
not all of london!Quote:

It were images from jeruzalem that were on the news here.
news said the Fire Chief said plane hit where water sprinkler was controlled in building. THEY knew what they were doing.
My wife watched the film of them collapsing. She says, it looks almost like there was a third explosion which collapsed the buildings. Could this have been the case? A bomb left to trigger after the aircraft hit? Or just the weight of the unstable building collapsing might have made it look like another blast.
One of the many horrible things about this is that apparently all the rescue workers were at the base of the building when it collapsed. :(
