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...

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 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.

Porsche · #**129** 09-11-2001, 06:28 PM

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.

S Brake · #**130** 09-11-2001, 06:33 PM

I know Bill Marriot's nephew...

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.

gang$tarr · #**134** 09-11-2001, 06:50 PM

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

Heep · #**135** 09-11-2001, 06:53 PM

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
