I've been watching this story unfold throughout the night (in Australia) and it has been sickening. Watching the second plane cannon into the World Trade Centre was something out of a movie. The loss of life must be huge, spare a moment for the emergency service perssonel who died when the first tower collapsed. CNN is doing a great job.Let's just hope America acts swiftly to avenge these tragedy's.

I live in NY... not the city, but upstate. I know it's not anything compared to the people who are actually in the city, but I've been there a number of times, been on the trade towers, and stayed in the Mariott Hotel that connects the two. It's so creepy to think that entire structure is GONE.

For those of you that keep calling the Terrorist, COWARDS , how would you have gone about blowing up several buildings? I think what they did was the correct way to go about it. Also, as I said before, on your definition of cowardly use of weapons, the only "non-cowardly weapons" are ones hands/feet and knives. Stop saying coward, why don't ya?Street Fighting uses what is there, Terrorists do the same. Edit: And I thought I was an idiot/uninformed.... Originally posted by Type1isFun: Anyone think that OUR government did this to stimulate the economy? Yes, of course. The best way to stimulate an economy, is to kill thousands of people, shut down NYC for a Day if not more, overpopulate hospitals, blow up our nations Tec center, stop the Stock Market and crash a bunch of planes.... Unless you are trying to stimulate an economy of maggots off of the corpses, then no way in hell is that a good way for stimulating economy. The intellegence of your posts are starting to slack, please stop rambleing on and on, with nonsenseual iditocy and leave this topic unscathed... __________________ ~Stupid Rambleing Ends Here~ E-mail: imthefirestarter@hotmail.com AIM: NaimOfNone I'ma gonna rock JSS 01-02 with style.

Please do spread, we've stated almost everyting else, and i'm wondering if there would be ANY reason? Seriously, now I need to know what you mean, 5 more minutes till Bush speaks. It seems like a movie, I never thought that I would live to see a speech that could be declaring war or anything like that. Man, now the Pentagon is on fire, again. This is not good.
Ill post again soon, -Dan

Same here Anthony, there was nothing of importance, I want to know what we are doing about this and when. If we dont strike soon we will seem easy to attack and it will only lead to more problems. That sucked to make it short, WE WANT DETAILS. And I want Clinton back. Grrr, he woulda given us real answers. -Dan

You are entitled to your opinion no matter how WRONG it is. Come on honestly I don't think any government would ever do such a thing for an economy boost... How can your econemy be boosted if your citizens are Injured or Dead and you loose Planes, Buildings, People, money to begin with.

The Bush address was disappointing... I'm willing to bet a cookie the US knows right now who did this... they're just not opening their mouths, they're either keeping it in a strategy or altogether just keeping it under wraps until further action is taken.And WW3, we're waiting. __________________ "It's OK.

I think that the level of information that was presented was adequate at this time. The purpose of his speach was to ensure the public that the United States government and our economic facilities are still working. I think this was accomplished and we will see in the next few days what will be done about the disaster. - Matt __________________ Matt Tobia AIM: TobySU03 gbs3769@hotmail.com Ref-list H/W List #2 Poster in Syracuse, NY (Does anyone live in Syracuse, NY?)

GottaLoveElves, IMO, if we were close to a war, Bush would have said something already, that is something that he should not and cannot keep under wraps, I was talking to my dad and he says hee remembers looking in the Paper during Vietnam with his brothers to see if there draft numbers were caled. ! of his brothers was called. All of them went together and they all came back. I think that if America sticks together we will get through this. God bless America and unless something important happens, Goodnight.

I thought I heard earlier on CNN that they had found the voice recording boxes for one of the flights that crashed into the WTC. I am not 100% or even 50% certain about this, but I think I heard it. - Matt __________________ Matt Tobia AIM: TobySU03 gbs3769@hotmail.com Ref-list H/W List #2 Poster in Syracuse, NY (Does anyone live in Syracuse, NY?)

GottaLoveElves: Yes, of course the Government knows who did this...maybe not for sure, but when they say that they have their suspicions, they are damn sure of who it is...they aren't positive though...and thus, don't want to point a finger just yet. I do not know though as for who did it, but don't rule out Lybia.As for the thought that the Government did it to boost the economy...how stupid is that? Think about it...half a billion dollars worth of damage...to boost the economy??? come on now...you sound like kids... As for the Bush address, I think that it was surprisingly short, but the more I think about it, I realize he said all there is to say...and in fact, it was a good breifing of the governments opinions on the day's actions. He also seemed to raise some of the spirit of America...so I think his address is good. __________________ Alright, who's the dead man that hit me with the saltshaker?
