Except it isn't chaos. Nothing about it has been chaos. I would love to work for the FBi, but at the moment I am just an informed American.

Okay. I just wanted to clarify a few things that seem to be spreading throughout this thread.

1. The Pentagon is not gone. The Pentagon isn't even half gone. The plane crashed into one of the 5 sides. It crashed into the army wing of the Pentagon. This does not mean that the US Army or the US Government is no longer functioning. All that it means is that it is temporarily relocated to a different location. The streets are not going to be run by tanks and stuff like that.

2. A foreign government most likely did not do this. Most governments have already denounced this event as a cowardly attack against not only the US, but the world.

3. This is not WW3, it is not the end of the world. This is a terrorist act. A large act that has cost thousands of people their lives. It is something that will be swiftly dealt with by the government of the United States.

4. There is a lot of speculation about how has done this act. People blame the PLO. Others Bin-Ladin. Still others say that it is a foreign government that attacked the US today. This is all just speculation. Do not jump to conclusions. Do not say "towel-head" and other racial slurs when speaking of who did this. An act of violence now against any racial group is completely uncalled for. Those who did this will be found, and will be punished. It is not up to the people to punish others because of their nationality.

As for the other 7 planes that were reported in Italy, I am not certain if this is true or not. People I have been talking with have been saying that they heard this as well, but there hasn't been anything on the news at all about more planes missing. The US military is in a high state of alert right now, and the military around NYC has been ordered to shoot down any unidentified planes, so I do not think that is something to worry about at this point.

Once again, if you have an opportunity to help out in any way, beit consoling others, donating blood, working with the rescue officials, do it. I cannot stress this enough, please everyone work together not against each other. This is how you show the terrorists that they cannot stop a nation by attacking it.

You are so right, I was just about to say these same things.

Very, very true. Racial slurs are not only demeaning to the people you meant them on, it is degrading yourself. "Towel-Heads" and "Sand Monkeys" are not acceptable.

The thing that kinda made me mad was (I don't remember who said this, just heard from my boss) that an Arabic official stated that their country wouldn't have had the money to do such things sine they are such a poor country. BUT nevertheless you need very little money to carry out the plan. All you need is a plane ticket and a weapon. Simple as that.

This was very well planned, unfortunately. The plane that crashed out of Pittsburg had the destination to go to Camp David but there was a problem so the pilot had a bad altercation and it nose-dived. What is scary is that there was a man (earlier I thought it was a woman) that called 911 from the bathroom of it saying they were being hijacked.

Talk about a crazy world with crazy people...

About the country stating that it didn't have the money to pull off this, I believe you are refering to what the Taliban from Afghanistan said earlier. Top leaders in the Taliban stated that they did not think that Osama Bin-Ladin had the resources to pull such an act off. They also went on to say that the people of Afghanistan poor and that they didn't have the money to pull off such a thing.

Camp David is a large place, so probably if the plane felt down on Camp David, only few houses will be destroyed.

terrorist have to find important items. probably if a plane fly near San Francisco, the first item will the the bridge.

This is such a horrible event and will never be forgotten (At least for me). I have just been to the WTC in August. I had a good time there, it was a nice place....well built and now? Nothing? Man thats just crazy.

I live in Canada, but i will very very much feel for those who have innocently died. Man this is such a large event! Bigger than Titanic, possibly Pearl Harbour, i dunno how to put this....

I just gotta hope they dont start WW3!
This fact has shaken all parts of country int he world and today when i was in skool, once the office found out...then froze us in the hallways immediately...all teachers had to return to class IMMEDIATELY. Then we found out and we were all so sad.

When i got home, and my mom told me about it even more, i saw it on TV, it was massive! It seems like the WTC was made out of Cardboard. MAN was this crazy!

I got on ICQ, Msn, Aim later and realize everyone talkin to me about it than i got on MOTL and found it has 12 pages in one day. Man this is crazy!

The death Count...?

To all people that do not live in the USA
I must apologize to you for our ignorence.
Our schools fail to metion things like that.

Yet they have day care centers (in school)
for the pregnant, or the people with children.

Did I fail to mention that they also hand out condoms and birth control to children without letting the childs' parents know about it.

Just thought you should know...

4) It was not a country that did this, it was a terrorist group. If it was a country, their first step would be to eliminate George Bush and the Vice President, leaving us without a leader for a short perion of time. They are both fine.
5) Any country (especially the Middle Eastern ones) would be crazy to go to war with us, unless they use biological warfare. That is pretty much the only way that they can hurt us. And if they did, we would nuke them, and they would cease to exist. End of any wars.

Think about it. We are the most powerful country in the world. WE need no fear other countries. We SHOULD fear terrorists. I am very sorry if this offends anybody.

SerraAngel and all others- I am very sorry about your friends and family. Very sorry.

That is almost spot on. Well said.

My thoughts are with the victims and their families right now. Deepest sympathies to anyone who lost someone in this terrible tragedy.

1) This operation was planned very meticulously, with incredible attention to detail.

2) Not any run of the mill terrorist organization could have done this. The cost of communication gear, weapons, large aircraft pilotry training, aircraft systems management etc. are astronomical. I say aircraft systems management because the aircraft are run near-entirely by computers during flight, and a computer will act to override any manual command when the plane's radar detects any structure nearby, therefore, the computer systems had to be brought down without hampering control, cabin pressure or any other system.
