Winglet…and this day will turn into weeks, and months possibly. It’s such a scary thought…

I thought the same…these terrorists hit us hard and without any warning…how is it now that it seems there are cases up where careless things such as flight books in arabic writing are now turning up? It just seems too easy and too coincidental. I’m sure there is much that we don’t know that the authorities do know though…I’m sure they are letting certain things become public for a reason…<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
It’s an interesting question and I am sure my thoughts will have some flaws, but my feeling is that, given that the individuals involved directly in the hijacking planned and knew that they would die in the process, evidence left behind mattered little to them at that point. One thing I have heard over and over is that these highly sophisticated terrorist organizations are made up of “cells” of trained groups who remain fairly untraceable to the main organization whether it is Bin Laden’s group or some other. That way Bin Laden, et al, can maintain innocence of the the act however transparent or not it may be. Leaving behind documentation may just be a red herring and not really a decoy (or are those the same dang thing??)
I heard on the news this morning that a man called the FBI to report that he had had a run in with a car full of men in the parking garage at Logan (I think it was Logan, I was on a steep treadmill hill at the time and couldn’t find the remote…) who struck him as memorable in some way. I think it was that they appeared to be Middle Eastern and they were anxious as, in retrospect, if they were in fact the hijackers, they would have been running late for the flights. He mostly remembered them because they had exchanged words over a parking space or some other driving issue. If only they had had a fender bender and he’d had to call the police…
Look at this BB, and at the many threads that are going. We are so VERY lucky to be living where we do. We post what we think without fear. We say what’s in our hearts, without fear.
Our lives have all been changed. Whether intimately or not. Our innocence is gone. But we have more depth than any terrorist organization can possibly understand. And with this, we will rebuild and survive.
It makes me so very proud of our country, and so very sad our world has come to this.
The second plane may have been a Boeing 737.
Prayers to the victims and their families.
Just heard that Ottawa U has been evacuated and some of downtown. Mostly due by a stange package being delievered to the embassy. Scary considering Ottawa U is only a 5 min walk from where I am right now.
Prayers with everyone, this should be over by now (though will never be forgotten)
Barb,
Thank you, it means a lot to me that I was able to help you. You have my email address and phone number, if you need anything…even if it’s just to talk, I’m here.
God bless the NYPD and NYFD

Okay they just announced that the trains and bridges (going OUT only) are being reopened. Thank god. Now others can get home too.
They canceled skool today, my school is about 10 mintues from the nuclear power plant BUT the walls (of the power plant) are 7 feet thick and have been tested w/ the force of being hit by a 747 and it left a black spot so we were assuered it was safe.
Considers stating one’s opionions to be mocking anyone. I don’t think ( though I may be mistaken) that anyone has come right out and said Prez Bush looks like a monkey! 
No matter what anyones thoughts, opinions etc. are, I think the one thing everyone agrees on is that we need to all become “United” to help with the tragedy in New York. Leave the politics to the polictican’s - that is what they are there for.
~Insanity is repeating the same behavior over and over and expecting different results~
You guys in the States have my thoughts and prayers today. What a senseless act.
according to CNN, a passenger in the bathroom of the crashed Pittsburgh plane called 911 and reported being hijacked. They had him on the line until the crash. That’s what they just reported on CNN.
…there are police armed w/ automatic weapons right now surrounding the Weston Hotel nearby me in the Copley Place area of Boston. They may have found a suspect and are trying to get him. It is pretty scary…
Please-this was the same philosophy that was directed at the opponents of the Vietnam War.
While I am in no way likening the current situation to that war, I find it interesting that the proponents of that ideology were proved very wrong.
Why is it so important to have people of other nationalities consider us the biggest, badass country in the world?
Why should those with differences of opinion be forced to leave?
It is my belief that our diversity makes us stronger and gives us an incalculable advantage against societies that enforce homogeneity.
I think that America is the best place to live despite our many “national” faults.
I’m sure that if I were a Canadian I’d think that about Canada.
Why is this even important right now?

Trainers husband is at home and OK. 
I just thought I’d add that I’m really impressed with Mayor Guiliani and the coolness with which he is handling this crisis. There should be more people like that around.

God bless those New Yorkers and Washingtoninans who are now helping in this tragedy. May I say, on behalf of NYC, that New Yorkers are the greatest, gutsiest people on the earth. I know there are many, many living angels among them now helping clear paths for ambulances and nursing the wounded. Never forget, you can’t defeat The City.
