BTW - Hope you had a full tank of gas this morning. Was out a little bit ago and passed several gas stations with looong lines. The gas station employees were raising the prices as I drove by. Filled up not long after it all started and it was $1.40 a gallon, drove by later and it was $1.99. Heard gas was up to $5 a gallon in Tulsa. Wal-mart was packed too..
Listening on the scanner and they are "appropriating" any empty vehicle they find to transport cops and rescure personnel. They just ordered 5 Coca-cola trucks to a relief area. They are sending out search parties to try to find medical personnel that are trying to get into the city. Sounds like things are pretty crazy there. Our bombing here in OKC was bad and relief efforts went on for over 48 hours. Can hardly imagine how long they will go on in NYC.
Wow.. they just reported seeing some "middle-eastern" people jump out of a van in the middle of the street..the cops aren't going near the van. Amazing to listen to..

Have been listening to the police scanner at http://www.nj.com/policescanner
Some pretty interesting stuff. One cop was telling some other cops to visit all area supermarkets and take whatever first aid supplies and food could be found to give to the injured.
They were just now trying to get to a white van that was floating and on fire near some docks. They were kind of worried..some were saying it was very suspicious. News reports are saying it is calm and orderly there but the cops on the scanner were calling their station saying that whole blocks were in panic.

Mike I don't think that is a complete list... notice it didn't even include the pentagon crash plane.
So we know that at least 5.
My big question is how and why did the other two planes crash? Did the pilots find out what was going to happen and purposely crash the plane or does the us govt have the ability to "remote control" commercial jets & crash them if necessary?
How did those other 2 jets crash?

I am starting to hear the criticisms now from experts in the field of security. This just shouldn't have happened. The scope of this attack, the success of this attack, is just tragic how it could have happened.
The #@$*!! Pentagon was bombed! Hitler and the Japanese never came close to doing what these freaks did today to America.
What if as New York and the country try to recover and bury the dead and grieve these fuckers come back for more? They are like a shark who has tasted blood, watching the most affluent powerful country suffer, bringing it to its knees, has got to be some kind of narcotic to these bastards.

Sheikh Yassin, leader of the Islamic militant group Hamas, said "no doubt this is a result of injustice the U.S practices against the weak in the world."
From Gaza, Islamic Jihad official Nafez Azzam said "what happened in the United States today is a consequence of American policies in this region."
Both Yassin and Azzam said they were against the killing of innocent people.
In the West Bank, Qais abu Leila, leader of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine, denied any connection to the incident and said it has always opposed "terror attacks on civilian targets, especially outside the occupied territories."
He added: "We call on the U.S. administration to review their attitudes and policies towards the Palestinian question because this policy arouses the hatred and anger of Arab and Islamic peoples and urges them to harm U.S. interests in our region."

This morning, I went to sleep at 8am EST and woke up at 10am, turned on my TV wall and thought I was still dreaming.
I have friends & partners living and working in Manhattan and have not been able to reach them.
I wish I was still dreaming.
What is truly disturbing is the flights that were chosen, all bound for California, were FULLY-fueled... very organized, precise and certainly not over yet.
AllFirst Bank had already closed all branches before noon today and may be closed tomorrow. Bank of America is not allowing more than $500 withdrawals at certain locations.
Still amazed that Osama Bin-Laden's people have denied responsibility. They are always willing to take responsibility without fear of repercussion.

Just heard Greyhound is also shutting down its services for everything east of the line from Cleveland to Atlanta and some states to the west also. A plane with a bomb was found in Colorado. And someone was apprehended in Seattle with explosives. The Hoover Dam has been blocked off. In this neck of the woods banks and government offices are closing early. This is some scary shit.

IF it was hijacked, it appears the mission was not comleted. Did one of our fighters shoot it down? Did the pilot ditch it?
I am curious about this part.
Also it appears the Pentagon is going to be ok - maybe no deaths there.

We drove IRAQ out of KUWAIT and devastated their country. The Iraqi military was hiding. Soldiers reported that at the first sight of U.S. military the Iraqi's threw down their weapons and surrendered without a single shot being fired.

I agree, Peaches. Anyone who's surprised that something like this has happened is just fooling themselves. It was only a matter of time. I'm shocked at the magnitude and organization of it, but not terribly shocked that it happened. It was only a matter of what where & when. My condolences and thoughts go out to the thousands of families that will be hurt by what's happened today.
That said, I'm seriously hoping that we won't see a reduction in our freedoms here. Terrorism isn't about dead bodies, it's about instilling fear. If we see any reduction in our freedom, then they've won. Of course, there are things we could handle more intelligently, such as airport security, but you'll never have perfect security unless you're totally locked down. With freedom comes risk, and I'm willing to take that risk to have the freedom I've always had. I'll have no qualms about stepping onto an airplane whenever I want, or going into tall office buildings, etc. Fuck 'em, they aren't going to intimidate me.
And as for the people responsible, well, I know it's not realistic, just a gut reaction, but I could see making a list of every terrorist organization or individual that's threatened the US in any way in the past, and just start working our way down the list with "the big eraser." Then see how many times something like this happens in the future. But I know that's not going to happen, and may not be the most sensible solution to this problem.
I'm done on the subject, I have work to attend to.

"I remember a long time ago when I was in high school that a teacher of mine said we will NEVER win a war against an Islamic nation or force. They are far too eager to die to get their point across and far to fanatical in their hatred of others to listen to reason or try to negotiate. If this is the way they "negotiatie" then I think we need to wake up and take a look at how we respond."

This is ALL surreal. I didn't even know anything until my son called me. I was just blissfully going about my day eating breakfast and reading a magazine.
The US has been extremely slack for years. Jim's example of the airport is repeated 100's, maybe even 1000's of times day. When I worked at the Atlanta Airport I had access to everything - the tarmac, the planes, the international terminal, etc. and there were NEVER any checks run on me. I was a subcontractor for a company that didn't even know my home address or phone number, let alone any way to investigate me.
We allow anyone and everyone access to our country. I find it ironic that they're "Closing the Mexican/US border" ??!! Uh, WHAT border? All of a sudden we're going to stop people from coming into the country? I'll take $1 for every Mexican that gets through "the border" today and then I'll retire..... There are MANY known terrorist members that are living in the US LEGALLY. Our "It can't happen here" mentality has to stop. How many times have there been "crackdowns" at the airports, merely to be quietly lifted in a few weeks or months? Security is a hassle - it takes longer to get into Government buildings and to travel. HOPEFULLY we realize that we have to be aware that there are countries that want us zapped off the map.
My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone that has friends and family affected by this tragedy. A friend has a son that works in the WTC that she hasn't heard from.
Finding WHO to obliterate will the hard part, but let's pray the US does it before we get hit again :(

I am relieved to hear that one of my best friends who lives in New York is fine. He works in the World Financial Center across the street from the Trade Center, and was actually walking to the office and watched from the ground as the second plane hit the Towers. Amazingly enough he bumped into his brother in law during the mayhem(another good friend of mine) and they are trying to get out of Manhattan and back home....
Please say a prayer for my friend Pete whom I have not been able to contact yet. He is a conductor for the PATH train and works the Hoboken to World Trade Center run. He was pulling into the World Trade Center during the bombing a few years back and managed to escape uninjured. I hope he was that lucky again.

"I would say a good place to start the attack is on the West Bank where they are cheering.
I would like to see how cheerful they are while being sprayed with napalm

These guys are cheering.. yet they are driving Ford Cars & Vans.. they have Oakley stickers on them... Yet they say they hate the US.....
Blow them the fuck up.
We are heading up north to my in-laws house for a few days until things calm down. Now is a good time to spend some quality time with your families.. You never know what kind of whackos are around you...

Jeff --
I also see it as an act of war, something that was very difficult to explain to my son this morning --
but I also think that careful deliberation in choosing one's battles is a key to a decisive win.

I agree with whoever made the statement that you don't let the bastards scare you and keep you from living your life. But you also don't go on about your business whistling past the graveyard.
Because one of these times, maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, they will use nuclear weapons against us. And it won't be 10's of thousands who suffer but 100's of thousands or more.

JMM,
I agree with you that this is an act of war. What Bush does now will set the tone for future terrorist attacks. Bush is looked upon as a joke by the rest of the world and his reaction must be strong and swift or this will keep happening. Nothing was done after the bombing of the U.S.S. Cole and now look what's happened.
I will not be at my computer too much today, I'm trying to get through to most of my family in NY. My mother and I have been going crazy because we can't get in touch with my brother and sister-in-law.
I'll be checking e-mail periodically if anyone needs to get a hold of me.

"Is anybody else here seeing NO CHANGE in bandwidth? "
I can assure you that there was a big drop in porn surfing. We're seeing a 15%+ drop in the adult surfing across the 45,000 sites we count for..

The last time America was attacked without warning how did it end? The Bomb. That was what Harry Truman decided was the only way to protect more American lives from being lost and the American way of life.
Why is this a different situation? It's not. It's actually worse.

Terrorists need to know that this is only a temporary set back to the nations pshyche. The United States will not be intimidated, and will continue to lead the world towards freedom.
Knocking out a few buildings, and martyering thousands of our brothers and sister will only galvinize our resolve. What the United States of America is cannot ever be destroyed, it is an idea. No buildings, military equipment, or peice of real estate that is destroyed can put out the becon of Liberty this country provides the world.

I would say a good place to start the attack is on the West Bank where they are cheering.
I would like to see how cheerful they are while being sprayed with napalm

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.

-May God bless us all and the decisions we must make.
