******TERRORIST ATTACK ON THE U.S.******

I was listening to some building specialist talk on the radio. He said the WTC was actually designed to withstand a collison with a aircraft. He then said that when the buildings were designed, the aircraft back then were much smaller.

wasn't the boeing 747 built before or around 1970.... that's the biggest commercial plane, and that's when the WTC was built

it did somewhat withstand the collison, but then the fire and stuff took it out.... i'm pretty sure the person meant small plains though

Hm...just on the little headlines thing at the bottom of CNN it said "New Brunswick Premier safe in NYC"...I didn't know he was there...

Oh. I guess it's just a Canadian station showing CNN stuff

Heard it was meant to withstand a 707 plane off CNN earlier today.

The 747 is almost twice the size of that! My History teacher said it was a 767, an the Video I saw was of a Twin-Engined 767 colliding with the North Tower.

BTW, Heep as for WW2, it was going on for almost a year I think, What happened was the Germans were building up lots and lots of Force in the 1930's (Hitler took them out of the Depression) and then German broke the Treaty of Versailles and slowly started to cliam back thier old land and new land that had been taken after WW1. Then in 1939, they went to far and invaded Poland, Britain (I think) jumped in and declared War on Germany, The invasion of Poland as you may have heard was called Blitzkrieg. For about a year Germany sat there invading nothing, Killing few people and was slowly building its war machine. This time was cleverly dubbed "Sitzkrieg" and then I think Germany goes through Belgium (Or at least tries to) and then the war is on.

So in the end, unless Bush says the Term "War" in his address, we could be sitting here a while just totally POed at Osama Bin Laden.

yeah i turned it on cbs for awhile to check out the canadian people talkin about it and they were talkin with the Premier of New Brunswick on the phone from new york. He was there for a meeting or somethin, and he said he was in the meeting when somebody ran in telling them that a plane hit the Trade Center. He ran out and saw the rest of it from a distance of about 50 blocks away

he can't leave the country either, so he has to stay in NYC

I met that guy (sort of...). He was at my graduation.

I just got back from the Marine recruiting station and they said that without a doubt they are going to take action and are getting ready to move. and the marriot hotel that is in the vacinity of the attack is on the verge of collapsing.

That's what I heard too, It just talks right now, I'm going to watch the Address being made by the President as everyone should. I'm betting the Marriott will go down.

I know Bill Marriot's nephew...

Will he buy you and me a Ferrari? :)

where are the nostradamous predictions from?!? I've only seen them on here and on somebodies ICQ away message. I haven't heard any "official" things talkin comparing this to the nostrdamous

Heep! Did you know that right now there taking in Passengers from International flights everywhere in Halifax? That's pretty close to you. Is there any wierd activity there? It's setting into me now, Now that there hasn't been a plane by here all day it's getting really quiet out.

alotta planes are landing in Toronto too... and there's a silence aswell

Well, Halifax is 5 hours from my house, but remember I'm in Barrie now, so I'm only about an hour from Toronto...that's affecting me more than Halifax

I guess Bush's address is set for 8:30 EST now

Did the reporter start attacking him?

nope, but i would have been all up in his business, have they no remorse for lost innocent lives...SAVAGES

i am shocked, simply put. my principal came into our class in first period and told us about it. i thought it was a small bomb, when i went to my homeroom the TV was on and the WTC towers were smoking like crazy i was suprised. my teacher was crying, and a couple of my friends were making some jokes about what should happen to the terrorists and i wanted to tell them to shutup.
I just got back from the Marine recruiting station and they said that without a doubt they are going to take action and are getting ready to move.

i have a brother in the marines. i feel sorry for any afgan terrorist or whoever did this because they get to meet my brother and people like him:) i'm not sad about the marines kickin their asses though...

Now they're saying that the bin Laden guy recieved a letter a few days ago or something from Afghan warning him that there would be a huge attack on the US

I think everybody in the U.S. should be so grateful that George W. Bush is president. Imagine if Al Gore became president, he wouldn't have a freakin clue what to do, he'd probably go ask Iraq for help :D

Heh, yeah, really. Geez, I'm already starting to get tired of talking about this. Oh well, time to watch the speech.

Not trying to sound funny, he'd prolly say something, I'll take those faceless cowards who did this, and put them in a LOCKBOX or something along those lines. Again, not trying to sound funny on this day of tragic events. My heart goes out to the many thousands of people who parished today for NO GIVEN REASON:(

AHAHAHAH THE LOCKBOX!! :D

that was the funniest when SNL made fun of that

Heh, the highway beside the Pentagon is not moving at all.

Something else that's amazing...I don't think I've seen a single TV commercial yet today :)

how come they haven't talked about this on TV?

US stocks fall in foreign markets (http://de.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=msft.f+aol.f+dis.f+hwp.f+t.f+pg.f+ibm.f+orcl.f&d=t&m=a)

Did they say shit about it when Hitler took over???
He only misspelled his name by 2 letters I don't care if you guys think this means shit I kinda believe it.

"bullseye" says Egyptians (http://asia.dailynews.yahoo.com/headlines/world/afp/article.html?s=asia/headlines/010912/world/afp/_Bullseye___say_Egyptians_as_they_celebrate_anti-US_attacks.html)

Sweet, I was there for a little bit.

This still just seems like a movie to me.

Even better. That was my main duty station. :D I loved it. What unit is he with?

Terrorist are in the dark and USA are out in the lights. I wonder how USA is going to fight back.

I think they should wait a bit...get 100% proof of the bastards that done it ....then go in and wipe there stinking fucking arses with everything they have.

To anyone that read the bullseye link....What the hell are people thinking. Fucking egyptians and palentines and all those other fucking towel headed bitches are a bunch of wankers...they crowd around the only tv in their little sand covered town and say congratulations and bullseye. one cunt said that the United States was behind the attacks, "to find an excuse for the National Missile Defence system" that Bush wants to deploy to protect the United States from so-called rogue states, despite widespread global opposition.

"Those people are capable of killing their own people to prove they're right," he said.

what the hell is wrong with people??

I say bomb the shit out of every damn country except our REAL allies, egypt is supposedly an ally and they say this, show the world whats up and sit back with our missles pointed at em all. oh and if any of you are of these races on here....defend yourself or your size of my shit country. I had relatives that live in new york and as a matter of fact worked damn near wtc, we havent heard anything from them. This kind of thing has gone on too long. The U.S is always getting attacked, and what do we do...Oh you bad people better not do that again, fast forward 8 years, hey look they did it again. Now there is nothing to salvage, our country has been fucked with way too many times. Will we finally relize that this isnt going to stop unless we take real action. This has been on my mind all day, and i couldnt wait to get it out. I apologize for its length and that is all. I dont consider this my two cents worth, this is my goddamn bank accounts worth...

he was in a COM unit, now he's in a maintenance unit, if that answers your question...

I have been nausious all day. I hope everyone from AF is okay. The victims will be in my heart...

:(

Remember, the function of terrorism is to disrupt innocent people's daily lives, so be sure to carry on. I don't mean don't let today's tragedy affect you, certainly keep all those affected in your hearts and prayers, but don't let terrorists stop our entire society. The U.S. is strong, and we will perservere. And someone will be brought to justice.

As an aside, the girl that sat next to me at work had her last day at work Friday, because she started her new job with the ATF yesterday. I'll bet she had an exciting day today. I hope she's okay, too.

Sorry I wasn't online much today; it just seemed like I had better things to do...

the stocks will pick back up next week... i think, there won't be too much of a problem

this is what i think of Osama Bin Laden:

CLICK

Theres been a 5 million dollar bounty on this guy for over a year. Nobody has collected on it yet. I doubt anyone will. The only way to get this guy is full military force. Mow them down like grass.

i was hoping for a slow, painful death though....

What the hell kind of life is that? Put yourself into hiding and basic isolation everyday, all for what? People to hate you?

I turned off the PS2 at 2.30am this morning and thought I wonder whats on TV, It turned on one of our 4 channels, and saw the BBC coverage about 10mins after the 2nd tower had collapsed.
I was totaly amased, and totaly shocked.
I went to bed about 3hrs latter after watching both BBC, CNN and ABC that were all shown and are still being shown here.
Im amazed Peter Jennings is still on ABC, he was there looking very tired when it happened, now he looks like walking dead, but they've just stoped a Truck in New Jersy which is apprently filled with explosives, and there reporting 900 dead in the pentagon. And No. 7 world trade also collapsed.

No one will ever know how many were killed in the WTC.
Its not only an attack on America, as the Former Isralie Primeminster Butcan (spl) said [quote]"its an attack on our Civilisation."[/qoute]

Its an attack on one of not only americas symbols of power but a symbol of the power of capitalism, and economic globalisation.

The rest of the world is equally shocked, and is concerned, Twin towers in Singapore have been evacuated, and im sure similar steps have been taken all over the world in comercialy sensitive areas.

We are all with you on this, this is as much a global catastrophe as an American one. Remember this day everybody, it marks a major change in our global history, far greater than anything else since WWII.

Prst Bush has shown himself to be a weak fool, and said nothing more than this is horrible, and we will fight back!
To me these are the words are of a scared toddler who has just been threatened by a bully. Not traits I would look for in such a powerful leader. Right now more than ever he needs to be STRONG and CALM, and lead America and the Western World in acting the same way.

This was not a signle counrty that attacked the US, but a small group of Terrorists, you cant send the army after them, and you cant drop bombs on them, because they dont exist as a single geographicly located group.

ABC is currently showing footage from the site, theres nothing there but piles of rubble, and a few small isolated spots of fire. Through the smoke and dust can just be seen a stump of one of the towers. And a skelton of the Fascade of the other tower.


My condolances go out to all of you.
Good luck, and be strong.
Anger at an unknown enemy will achieve nothing. Strength and Unity are the best weapon we have.

5 million?? shit i'll pop a cap in his towel, i mean head, for that much.

there's no way that 900 people are estimated dead at the pentagon. the section they bombed was newly renovated so it was very uninhabited.

Yes but they said that the missing person count was anywhere from 100-800 people

Well this really puts a dent in the renovator's time schedule.....

haha that's funny, cause george w. bush did act strong and calm. It looks like he has everything under control, on every news channel they're complimenting on his actions today.

He'd be an idiot to do anything drastic today

I don't see how anything made him look like a "weak fool", "scared toddler"

what do you expect him to do? Explain their whole plan so far? so then everybody knows what they're gunna do?

i don't think you really know what you're talkin bout. I'm grateful George W. Bush is president, what if Al Gore do if he was elected? or if Bill Clinton was still president? The whole country would be screwed! At the present moment, i don't think there's a better leader IMO

if you can find that cock-a-roach (in a Tony Montana, Scarface accent)

Its way to early to judge the response of our government leaders. However, I can only hope there is a Reaganist type response. Obliterate them!
