A man on the ITN news programme from Aviation International said that the security system could be responsible. He said the fact that for Americans getting on an inter-state flight is like getting on a bus has been exploited by terrorsits. Apparently in America there are big differences in security between international and domestic flights.

Retaliating so soon is bloody STUPID. Especially against civilian targets.

Building #7 Is a building around 40 stories tall... might be smal;l compared to the main twin buildings, but its still a very large building that would have stood out in any city.-Ron __________________ -We had creative differences: i was creative and he was different -When i say "Jump!", you say "How High?" -Anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible moment. -All generalizations are false DNAforensics@yahoo.com ICQ# 121503916 MOTL Reaches 20000 members!

I live in Canada and even though this is going on in the US, we are all affected one way or another... even in my home town of St.John's, NF. (we recieved many european planes that were going to the US and are trying to find places for the 5000 or so passengers to stay and be relatively comfortable). I know I don't post much on here anymore, but I thought I would come on to post because I would just like to say that I offer my most sincere condolences (spelling?) to all the people of the US and to the families of the victims, in particular, on this tradgic day. __________________ Rules of Life and Magic:"Always say what you mean and mean what you say" "If you fail to plan then plan to fail"

Agreed. There is no need for any retaliation at this point. CNN just reported that it could be part of an internal Afghanistan struggle between the government and rebels. So we may not have to blame the US government yet for making a huge mistake in counterstriking. - Matt __________________ Matt Tobia AIM: TobySU03 gbs3769@hotmail.com Ref-list H/W List #2 Poster in Syracuse, NY (Does anyone live in Syracuse, NY?)

There is no clear report of who did it yet. The government is almost 90% certain that a group tied to Osama Bin-Ladin planned these attacks. - Matt __________________ Matt Tobia AIM: TobySU03 gbs3769@hotmail.com Ref-list H/W List #2 Poster in Syracuse, NY (Does anyone live in Syracuse, NY?)

In any case, I dont think theres any doubt about it, there Will ba a serious retaliation, once it is established who is responsible. The retaliation would probably have to be so extreme as to send a signal that those terrorist attacks are not to be attempted again. Lets not forget, Even though No government may be Directly responsible for this terrorist attack, many governments (Like Afganiustan) finance and support terrorism, and I assume they will also suffer some sort of military retaliation from the USA. -Ron __________________ -We had creative differences: i was creative and he was different -When i say "Jump!", you say "How High?" -Anything that can go wrong will go wrong at the worst possible moment. -All generalizations are false DNAforensics@yahoo.com ICQ# 121503916 MOTL Reaches 20000 members!

Yes, and if it is proven that bin Laden is responsible or connected to this carnage, then Afghanistan will be a target as they have offered him sanctuary for quite some time.No confirmation on what exactly is on fire in Kabul, possibly an airport fuel supply. __________________ 2nd in refs in SC 3rd ranked poster in SC54 and counting on my Yavimaya Barbarian collection...

CNN: If your not watching that go do it. They said over airways they have heard people in realtion with Bin Ladin have been heard saying. " We hit 2" . Very odd if it wasnt him. I'm still not sure.
