The 2nd plane is still headed towards washington and an F-16 has been scrambled. At the risk of sounding like at total *******, if the plane is indeed hi-jacked do they have any choice but to shoot it out of the sky to keep any more deaths from occuring??

It seems trivial now, but I just heard on the radio that the Sox are actually in a midtown Manhattan hotel and they are OK. They aren't near the WTC. Of course the game is cancelled.

What else could they do? This is really insane. Although, quite frankly it doesn't surprise me that much. It was only a matter of time before something like this happened on US soil. What I don't get is: how could this LARGE and coordinated an effort go down with NOBODY knowing it was coming?

This is what freaks me out about this the most. All of these attacks have been suicide missions. They haven't been able to touch Bein Laden in the last decade. We don't know who is responsible, although it was just reported that Bein laden warned a few weeks ago he would attack american intrests. Who are they going to get? Maybe some lackey of one of these groups will take the fall and spend his life in jail or get the chair or something but I dont see them getting to the real source.

SOP, all flights cancelled, no plane in air, if there is one, the military will take off. The plane going to wash from oversea, once it hit us airspace, 1 of 2 things will happen, 1. the plane will change direction. 2 if not then it will be shot down.

ABC is reporting the United confirm the flight that crashed into PA was from New Wark,NJ to San Fran. Not to or from Chicago, but if it was hiajacked, who knows where it could of ended up.
Camp David report is looking to be hoaks now.
Car Bomb exploded outside State Dept.
The planes that crashed into the World Trade Center had 81 passenger and 11 crew on one, and 58 passengers and 6 crew on the other.
The question of who we will go to war with, is answered with who? Bin Laden does control a country, he is just a rich terrorist. If the US found out there was a country supporting him doing this, well look out. This thing might go nuke, we havn't been hit this hard ever. Right now we are looking at over 50,000 dead or wounded in these attacks

Yes, we will go to war over this, IMO. This is the equivialant of Pearl Harbor except the targets were primarily civilian in nature, from the sounds of things.
Strange days...
Somewhere, someone is going to pay for the slaughter of 100's and possibly 1000's of innocent civilians. Matter of time or not, this was beyond reprehensible, beyond barbaric. The people must be dealt with. If a country shelters the people responsible, then they too are responsible.
The gloves are going to come off now. The beast is awake and they are fuking with the wrong country. NATO will be involved, and it's test time for our ally Russia. Time for them to put up or shut up...

It seems to me that there is going to be a VERY large and SWIFT counter attack against someone, somewhere. Diplomacy is not the forte of the Republican party, and I doubt GWB is going to consider the 'feelings' of any country harboring terrorists.
Personally, I think we may see sweeping attacks, on many fronts, against any possible group that may have been responsible for this, and I hope the US strengthens its support of Isreal, as that may be the most effective counterattack.
I am disgusted, and extremely uneasy about the coming time. I, too, think you will all remember where you were on September 11, 2001.
I happened to be drinking my coffee and watching TV at home when they were discussing the first crash, and there was considerable confusion over the nature of it. That confusion quickly melted away, as I sat there shocked after I saw, live, a second plane slam into the second tower. I couldn't even speak.
Hopes and wishes are with the families and victims of these terrible attacks....

It's amusing to me how these terrorists hope to scare the $#it out of the U.S. when all they seemed to really be doing is pissing everyone off. I share most people's feeling of deep anger and resentment towards those who would do such a cowardly act. Remember, there was a reason why Adolf Hitler was really angry with his Japanese allies after he wasn't consulted on the Pearl Harbor attack. He knew that a bunch of jacked up, pissed off American soldiers would be entering the war soon and tip the scales towards the Allies.
If anything, this day has united our country. I've already seen 3 businesses that have "God Bless America" plastered on their marquee signs. I worry that what occured today may only be the beginning of something on a larger scale.

Ok firsts things first.
1) It was a horrible act.
2) It was horrible to watch live.
3) There is no way in hell we will find Bin Laden
It is almost impossible to find Bin Laden now. He is in the middle of Afghanistn, hid in some mountains, and I highly doubt we will ever find him. Also a senior official from the radical group Jihad said this was because of our actions in the middle east. We all knew something would happen, but not to this magnitude. We all have to admit that whoever planned this attack almost crippled our whole government. They took out our Defense, Economical, and if they hit Pittsburgh, that would of crippled manufacturing throughout the US. This was a VERY well planned attack, and it worked like clockwork.
My dad was flying to NY today and COULD have gotten killed, luckily his plane was diverted to Detroit, and he is driving back to IN today.

No war will happen because of this unless George Bush gets his way.
This isn't a state or anything. I believ Yasser Arafat when he said the PLO has nothing to do with this because:
A) He's not that dumb to attack the United States. I mean, cmon. Why would you take the limited resources to have to attack the U.S. full knowing they'll retaliate and punish you beyond your wildest dreams.
B) They have bigger problems across the street. The PLO is using its limited resources to attack Tel Aviv, not New York City.
The question we should all be asking isn't who did it? It's why did it happen? What can we do to change the mentalitly of the U.S. so people don't get so pissed off at us to get the balls to hijack a plane and kill themselves? This isn't a cowardly attack. This is a crusade...
Please don't get me wrong. This is a TERRIBLE tradegy, bu I think to just go after whoever did this is a little misguided. We have to figure out why they hate us so much....

This plane went down right at/near, a small runway in Summerset, similar in size to Kankakee airport, the plane would have been able to crash-land, but not take off. That, to me, sounds like a pilot trying to ditch before the plane was taken over....heroic.....

Randar, you may be right. CBS is now saying those 'shot down by military' rumors are indeed false. They also said the black box from that plane will likely be recovered. That could be a major piece of evidence towards figuring out who was responsible for this. Amazingly, this plane took off from Newark, made it all the way to Cleveland, and then U-turned and headed back to the east coast. That was probably the source of the "Cleveland" rumors I heard earlier as well. You're right, there is a ton of false info out there right now.

Why must we find who did it? Will punishing them make this any better? Not in my eyes, it won't.
We have to find out WHY they did it. If it was Arabs (and I'm sure it was. This IS NOT RACIST, but who else has more reasons to hate the U.S.A. more than the Arabians. We stole their land. We steal their oil. We bomb them every now and then...), we've got to understand why someone would hate us enough to pull this off.
Crazy people can't do this. This was a masterpiece of terrorism.
Maybe I just haven't been brainwashed into thinkiing the U.S.A. is always right, but compared to what we've done to the Arabian states, we should have known (and probably did) that this was coming, but to say that this is unrprovoked is wrong and to say that we should retaliate is wrong.
I feel deeply sorry for the people killed, injured, and all the families and friends who will feel the ripples of this, but I don't feel bad because it happened to America. I would feel just as bad if this happened in France or England. People are people. I feel bad every day for the NUMBERS of people all around the world who starve to death because they have NOTHING, while everyday, when I walk to school, I can't throw a rock without hitting a gas guzzling SUV.
Is it any wonder they hit A) The Pentagon - the boys with toys and B) The World Trade Center - the most blatantly obvious sign of American excess?
As long as we continue to live our lives the way we do in America, this sort of thing will happen. To place the blame solely on whoever did it and not blame ourselves for provoking such an attack is utterly superficial.
And to call it a "cowardly attack" I also think is wrong. Hey, they are in an anti-American crusade. They took their lives because they did what they feel is right. Does that make it right? Hell no. But if we think for onew second we can look at ourselves as a nation and feel that we are the innocent victims of a terrorist assault is extremely arrogant. They didn't do this just because they had nothing better to do. The Arabs had bigger problems with the guys across the border in Tel Aviv and such, but they chose to attack America (which makes me believe its an individual organization - possibly even Americans) to get their point across.

I know I may seem a bit controversial, and I understand everyone is angry, and quite frankly, I am, too. This is a blatant attack at human life. They planned this out to hit the WTC after 9 AM so there would be people there, but cmon...

I'll try to answer as best I can...
1) We are hated because we are powerful and we like to push people around. I mean, cmon, the ONLY thing the Middle East has going for it right now is that they have oil. And we don't like paying for it. Thus, there is a conflict of interest.
Now, this doesn't mean countries like the United Kingdom, France, China, Japan, and such hate us. But countries like Iran, Iraq, and the Middle east sans Israel call us the Great Devil, and when you think about it, you really can't blame them for doing so. We pressure the U.N. into placing sanctions on these countries that in turn starves their people. We may have the right goal in mind, but these plans clearly don't work.
Basically, we use the third world as a means of cheap labor to keep ourselves the unchallenged superpower in the world. We didn't like it when the U.S.S.R. rivaled us in terms of world power, and we are determined to remain alone at the top. Thus, we're not to popular.
2. No, but do you NEED an SUV? Do you need a closet full of clothes? Do you NEED to have so much money you don't know what to do with it?
I'm not saying we should all be poor. Hell, all we have to do is try and make life easier in the rest of the world and our problems are solved. I'm just saying, hey... We live in a world of excess while many others live in poverty. Sure we can't blame our parents for wanting the best for us, but we can blame ourselves for wanting to stay #1 so badly we're willing to essentially push the little guys down.
3 & 4. Well, as long as the third world is deprived and it feels the United States not only helps it get better, but actually wants things to get worse, then there is no way to stop terrorists. That's it. As long as they see as as the Great Devil, they will continue to attack, and there is really nothing we can do about it.
5. That's fine. Like I said, I don't think this was cool. This was stupid. It was a blatant attack on human lives, nay, innocent human lives, and I apologize if I offended you. I know I am a bit controversial, but that's just the way I am. But to simply make ourselves to be the innocent victims is wrong. I never want things like this to happen, but I see no way of stopping them with the way things happen now.

" Hello everyone,
This is Nicholas Longo, the CEO of CoffeeCup Software.
As you may have heard the World Trade Center and Pentagon
were attacked about 45 minutes ago.
The Team at CoffeeCup would like to send our heart felt
sorrow to those that perished in these attacks.
We would like to also say on record that if any country
is found responsible for these attacks, we call for that
country's complete destruction and annihilation.
Do not let terrorism which is designed to create fear
and stop production, halt your life or work.
Stay focused and do not stop what you are doing."

That's fine. I respect you and your right to disagree with me. I'm just passing along my opinion.
The reason, if it was an Arabian attack (not racist! Who has more reasons to hate us?), then I see why they would. I obviously do NOT agree with what they did because it was stupid and pointless, but desperation makes you do irrational things.

I have to go, but before I do, let me state how I feel so no one gets the wrong idea of me...
I WILL NEVER CONDONE VIOLENCE AS A MEANS OF GETTING ANYTHING DONE.... If that were the case, all problems would have been solved hundreds, if not thousands, of years ago.
I AM NOT ANTI-AMERICAN, nor do I want us all to take a vow of poverty or anything. I'm just saying that we really have to realize how blessed we are and we have to share that blessing with the rest of the world.
I am truly sorry if you read one of my posts and were upset with me. I never meant for that to happen. I only say somewhat controversial things on this board because I feel that everyone here is intelligent enough to read it and think about it, rather than just pass me off as some anti-American scum. I understand everyone is in shock, and so am I, and full of anger, as am I.
This is a truly tradegic event, and, once again, I DON NOT CONDONE VIOLENCE AS A WAY OF GETTING THINGS DONE. This is a terrible thing to do, a terrible attack on human life, and a day that will forever live in infamy.
Please remember the people killed, injured, and all the families and friends who will be scarred for life. They need our prayers now.

Many times, while seating in the first class, i saw how the flight att would open the cockpit door, i have always thought if that this would be dangerous. It is logical that is what happen. These guys flew the damn plane, so they talk the talk of the Air Traffic, and was able to get it done. The security really needs to be check.

The reason for retaliation by the USA is simple... it must never be allowed to happen again, period. You track down the people responsible and hammer them until they bleed and fall down. Then you keep right on kicking. Every terrorist state and group must be kept on the run forever until they are eradicated or locked up.
Frankly I don't care if you think America is to blame for the deaths of your people by supporting our ally, you just declared war on the USA. Now it is time to put up or shut up.
If you specifically target our civilian population then you must be punished. "It's like that? I didn't realize it's like THAT! I guess I won't be needing these gloves I was wearing..."
Don't like that response? Don't bomb our country. It's that simple. Now the mightiest war maching ever built by man or God will be unleashed on something somewhere and if you thought you would have less casualties by making us think about our own security, think again. This country knows how to make war. Knows it very well and has won almost every war it has ever been involved in. With the aid of our allys (Russia has a pretty nice war machine too, and now they can start earning that aid we have been giving them for free), the people who did this will be paid back in blood.
I'm a pacafist too, but this is an act of pure barbarism... there must be more than retaliation, there must be punishment, so that no one ever believes they can attack us with impuity. Not yesterday, not today and not tomorrow.
Don't like that response? Well *** You then...

I think everyone is just so tired from being in shock all day they're losing grasp on their emotions. I'm not saying don't be emotional, but use it the right way. Focus on the victims and not the snakes who did this.
And I know doublem, he's a good guy, so at least give him a chance to defend himself whenever he gets back. For now, just try to check your anger and think about the people who are hanging on to life by the thinnest of strings.

with that said.......KILL 'EM ALL AND LET GOD SORT THEM OUT!!! :)

The wierd Nastradamos web site with 911 listed as the subject is jus too wierd to ignore. I sent it by e-form to the FBI, and I was glad to see Cerberus had done the same by phone.
What was the weather like in NY on the first??? a Saturday, anyone know???
OK, well, Afghanistan is responsile simply under the prose of hiding Bin Laden. As long as he lives and is allowed to perate, his supporters will only grow in number. Whether or not he is responsible, he and his group must be eliminated.....
End of story. I tried not to be too hard on doublem, because he makes decent points, but this is not the time...there is NO ecuse whatsoever for these attacks. I feel it was an act of terrorism the PLO would have blushed at back in their hey-day...
Our wishes are with the friends and families of the thousand killed or wounded....

i heard on the radio and i agree, that it would be in the interest of other countries like russia and china to join forces with the use. china is having the olympic soon and russia is just starting to get things together. i dont think russia would want anything like this to happen to them.

Here is a brief section of the article.
Read the whole article as well.
In the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people poured into the street shortly after the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and government targets in Washington.
Demonstrators distributed candy in a traditional gesture of celebration. Several Palestinian gunmen shot in the air, while other marchers carried Palestinian flags. Nawal Abdel Fatah, 48, wearing a long, black dress, threw sweets in the air, saying she was happy because "America is the head of the snake, America always stands by Israel in its war against us."

What must they have been thinking as they realized that something was horribly wrong, beyong being hijacked and scared...
This is not the way you wage war, or if it is, then two can play at that game...
Does America deserve this act of barbarism? Does anyone deserve an act like this? Even if you look at it from their perspective it is hard to find a justification for killing potentially 10000+ American civilians in one stroke. There can be no justification for this act ever.
Congratulations, you wanted a war with the USA? You got a war with the USA... This doesn't even leave room for the idea of no retaliation. This HAS to be punished... sheer stupidity and sheer evil...

If we go in there and wage a war with the government of Afghanistan, future countries will think twice about housing such violent fundamentalists.

I just reread doublem comments and there is nothing there to justify what happen. If you hate us b/c we treat our family right, you hate us b/c we don't suffer as much as you, look at the inner city projects where the poor is.
We have had the opportunity to make the best we have, to be given a chance to better ourself, i saw what the europe has done to themself, and the war there. All we have done to to help people. Many nations owes us huge, b/c of our money.

First of all, I didn't defend everything he said, because I don't agree with everything he said. What I said was, give him a chance to defend himself whenever he comes back.

Here is the deal: We got BOMBED. A terrorist took our own civilian planes and then bombed one of our countries most prominent buildings with our OWN planes. That is like the big bully who used to take little kids arms and then hit the kid over the head with it. If we just sit here and take this up the ass, like some of you are suggesting, what prevents others from doing this whenever they get a little angry at us. We are supposedly the biggest baddest nation around and we need to prove it. Any of you who think that we should just forgive and forget can move their ass to Canada for all I care. There are going to be over 10,000 casualties when this comes to an end and we cannot just sit and take it. That is all there is to it.

Today will go down as one of the truly darkest day of modern, free world. THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE TO ALLEVIATE THE SITUATION OR EVEN DESCRIBE IN WORDS THE PAIN AND SORROW THAT HAS OCCUPIED THE HEARTS/MINDS OF THOSE WHO LOST SOMEONE CLOSE TO THEM TODAY. And the worst part is that this unprecedented catastrophe was man-made. Who could have thought that in the 21st century......
Having said that, I find it it hard to believe that some of you would attack doublem and a few other posters for speaking their minds. Sure, at some point they became devil's advocates, but that's EXACTLY what should be done by someone in a situation such as this. I didn't perceive their posts to be "anti-American" or worse "condoning such acts"....what did surprise me is that sucjh intelligent poststers as FarWest, JM and a few others have been barried away in their response, almost inciting further attacks. Next time close the boards altogether lest something radical/unpopular should be said.
It is obvious that this act of terroism has been expertly masterminded by a very few, insterested, influencial people. One would presume that the Holy Order, a few oil magnates/sheiks, some "shadow" players (perhaps even Europe based) aided by the terrorists like bin Laden are all that's needed for this. A common man such as myself would never even dream of understanding the true motives (or EXACT persons involved) of those evil enough to carriy somthing of this magnitude out in the US, but I do know that they OBSIOUSLY have considered the repercussions (or are they dump arabians too?), ranging from retailiation to full-scale invasion of some Arabiac countries. The fact that they still went ahead says something in regard to the strenght of their convictions (no matte how vile they may be) and the amount of blood they are willing to sacrifice. Remeber that innocent people will die on both sides as a result of a decision made by select few. In addition, "they" have probably (my guess is that despite being rightfully labeled "fanatics", they have rationale in ABUNDANCE) considered the possibly embargos, sanctios, ect. The point is IT WAS STILL WORTH IT TO ENOUGH POWERFUL PEOPLE.
Now I hear read that they could possibly be as many as 30 more attempts in the next 3-4 weeks. With HUGE security holes wide-open, I don't see what can prevent even 1 of them from reaching the target...and no matter what those demagogues in Washington are going to say, the only thing they can do now is to kill as many innocent Arabs as possible. Yet the smarter ones of you have already figured out that bin Laden or even Arafat (who appears to be nothing but a PAWN at this point) DON'T GIVE THE RAT'S BEHIND ABOUT THEIR OWN PEOPLE. The only thing they know is that they owe billion to the US/UN and their rights to vast lands have been violated by the "white devil" for too long a time.
So tell me, oh wise BMR, will it make you feel better if 100, 000 arabs die in the next 3 weeks or so? I know that I myself do not envy our government (not to mention the victims' families) since it has NO CHOICE WHATSOEVER.

And the worst part is that this unprecedented catastrophe was man-made. Who could have thought that in the 21st century......
Having said that, I find it it hard to believe that some of you would attack doublem and a few other posters for speaking their minds. Sure, at some point they became devil's advocates, but that's EXACTLY what should be done by someone in a situation such as this. I didn't perceive their posts to be "anti-American" or worse "condoning such acts"....what did surprise me is that sucjh intelligent poststers as FarWest, JM and a few others have been barried away in their response, almost inciting further attacks. Next time close the boards altogether lest something radical/unpopular should be said.
It is obvious that this act of terroism has been expertly masterminded by a very few, insterested, influencial people. One would presume that the Holy Order, a few oil magnates/sheiks, some "shadow" players (perhaps even Europe based) aided by the terrorists like bin Laden are all that's needed for this. A common man such as myself would never even dream of understanding the true motives (or EXACT persons involved) of those evil enough to carriy somthing of this magnitude out in the US, but I do know that they OBSIOUSLY have considered the repercussions (or are they dump arabians too?), ranging from retailiation to full-scale invasion of some Arabiac countries. The fact that they still went ahead says something in regard to the strenght of their convictions (no matte how vile they may be) and the amount of blood they are willing to sacrifice. Remeber that innocent people will die on both sides as a result of a decision made by select few. In addition, "they" have probably (my guess is that despite being rightfully labeled "fanatics", they have rationale in ABUNDANCE) considered the possibly embargos, sanctios, ect. The point is IT WAS STILL WORTH IT TO ENOUGH POWERFUL PEOPLE.

i would feel better if noone would die and the entire world was free. we represent freedom and must respond...

In addition, this is OUR COUNTRY, we are talking about, not our baseball team. There is a world of difference between the two. Anyone who bashes their country, deserves what comes to them......

yes, but HOW? "They" obsiously could care less if you do since it is not they who would suffer. Bin Laden (or someone else involved) would have been turned in by his own people as the response to embargo and other threats LONG time ago if there were no other interested/influencial following similar crusade/cause....he will be caught, but much too late. The problem of the root will stil remain I am afraid/
And freedom doesn't preclude evil few from existing....terrorists will ALWAYS be there; and don't confuse US with Utopia.
Yes, the sight of some arabic kids dancing in the streets (in the US too!) was nothing short of abominable.

I respect your opinion, but please keep to one or two points, so i can understand it. You are allover the place here. Its not my job to figure out what the right thing to do is.......i dont want more innocent people dying either, but we have a county to protect. In fact, we have the world to protect. IF 100,000 have to lose their lives, to keep peace and order, then so be it.....

From cnn.com
Members of Congress were quick to blame bin Laden, the Saudi millionaire blamed for bombings at two U.S. embassies in Africa. He is believed to be based in Afghanistan.
"This looks like the signature of Osama bin Laden," said Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, who said he had been briefed by officials at the highest levels of government.
Hatch added: "We're going to find out who did this and we're going after the bastards."

Doulbem spoke his mind and i spoke mind....... so.
Ref fw and other who are intelligent posters, do you want them to be puppets and can't voice their opinion, esp is it goes against what you may perceived as vile. Whether they want to close the site is their choice not yours or mine. Doublem post was in a way to downplay this attack and asked us to take a look at the reason. The POINT IS THERE IS NO REASON ON EARTH TO JUSTIFY THIS.
When i was in Europe, i asked many people who i was associating with, this is a fact of most people outside the US. No matter how many times people have slapped us in the face, we have also forgiven them and later traded with them b/c of the holy $$$ dollar.
Ref to the arabs innocent losing there live.......... oh well look at our sorrow, our injuried or death. You back up a nation then you deal with it. In addition how can other people justify this, meaning the arabs, laughing and i just saw that some military people saying that not enough damage was done.
You tell me if you can live with the horrors of today and that we should not do ANYTHING!

how did he "bash" his country? By suggesting that Arabs are so embittered and rendered helpless by the few despots (and futher confused by religion) that they have nothing else to do but to hate?

ref #1 you really don't know what you are talking about. The sanction was done against Iraq was b/c of what they did, blew up all the oil rigs, putting many harmful chemical in the air. 2. b/c they used nerve gas during the war and 3 b/c what they did, the slaughters of the kuwaits.
using cheap labor......... that is sooo stupid.
ref #2, r u really serious on this......... again this is a stupid statement.
What can I say?

you are the one who keeps missing the point. Bin Laden (if he indeed organized it) DOESN'T CARE ABOUT how many poeple will die. Are you planning to annihilate the whole race now? Besides, you know that dying for Allah is worth 30 concubines and a place in heaven, right?
Are you also thinking about the affect the war will have on America?
Paret of me also says, "get the bastards", but part of me is also realistic. Who are going to get exactly? Not the terrorists, for sure. And who know what the birth rate for arans is extremely high, so yo are guaranteed to have generations of hatred-filled people regardelss..
