Yes, I almost forgot. I pray for the best for AoA and family.

To the NYC person who can't get home (forgot your name and can't see it now): How are you getting on the web anyway?

All the news websites are blocked up. All the phone lines & channels are clogged. We've been ordered off the phones to allow for emergency calls. We'll post whatever we hear, so keep it right here for the latest info! <img src="biggrin.gif" border="0">

I'm absolutely in shock. We visited New York last summer and were at the top of the WTC. Glad we went when we did. To all those in NY (AofA, Sekong, at least), my prayers and thoughts are with you and your families. I cannot imagine the horror and fear.

EDIT: forgot to delete my sig, but apparantly I can't after the fact <img src="mad.gif" border="0"> Sorry all, hardly seems appropriate (or maybe it is?....)

Well Matrix is right. We'll find out who did it soon enough.
 
Man this is scary. I mean, it's not that hard to. It's enugh with 5 people! Think if this would happen for instance.

1. 5 people decides to kille the president.<br />2. They go to their nearest gun-stor and buy some guns.<br />3. They bribe a guy working at the washington airport.<br />4. You take controal over a airplane under gunthreat.<br />5. You kill the pilot. And replace him with a pilot of your own.<br />6. Send the plane to crach right into the withehouse.

This is scary!!

How the hell do you defend yourself against this?

<br />And btw, it don't have to be a plane. Just take a boat and put alot of explosives in it and send it to the harbur in NY and blow it up.
 
AS I heard, a 767 plane crashed near a small airpport southeast of Pittsburg. It seems to be American airline(?) 77 from Dulles(?) to Los Angles.

My condolences goes out to all the Americans that have families and friends that work at the World Trade Center - and to all Americans in general.

This is nothing less than a deliberate attack on something that is the very symbol of America - For once I think (hope) that it's agood Thing that Bush is in the oval office, because I think that he might actually do something - all I'm doing is waiting to see which country will be turned into the worlds largest parking lot with in the next few days.

And I pray for the safety of all CFC members that live in NY and their family and friends, AoA and TF!

I just can't believe that anyone can be this stupid.......

Yes, there was a large plane crash 80 mi south of Pittsburgh. It may or may not be related to the attacks. There's no target I know of there. It could have been a mistake while grounding all the planes.

I also heard a report that Camp David was hit by a plane.

Somehow I don't think it's Palestina. As Dutchman I don't choose side between Israel and Palestina and although Palestina is somewhat more violent than Israel, I don't think they'd be capable of such an act.

Who can they be? Iraquees? Perhaps Palestinians independent of their government? Bin Laden?
 
is canada going to be involved in this? i hear a plane is coming to canada?

<img src="frown.gif" border="0"> pray for the safety of everyone
 
I hope and pray that AoA and family and all other civfanatics in the attacked areas are ok.<br />This is terrible, and there will be a mighty search for those responsible, and a devastating response.<br />Israel will hit the Palestinians hard, whether they did it or not. Say goodbye to any hope of peace in Middle East, as all territoires will be reoccupied, and PA shut down. <br />CONUS on Threatcon Delta, and forces on Defcon 3.<br />There will be punitive strikes.<br />If the finger points to Bin Laden, then Afghanistan is going to turn into a nuclear wasteland. The Russians are moblized on the Tajik border.

This is a massive tragedy. Thousands dead, unprecendented in the despicable annals of terrorism. Bush will probably be in safety over atlantic in kneecap (nacap).

This could just be the beginning, and I don't want to be a panic monger, but there could be bio or chem attacks taking advantage of large amounts of grounded people at airports. I hope not.

Whoever did this must die. This is war against the whole of the civilized world. Everyone is in shock, even down here. God knows what it is like for everyone in NY and DC.

These were coordinated attacks using hijacks on commercial, military and political targets. Only a few groups have the capacity to do this, and all are gonna be hit hard by the US and the world.<br />The nearest precedent was in 1972 when almost 30 bombs went off in Belfast in an hour, but this is an apocalypse.

There will be definite bank holidays, and the economy will be shut down, affecting the world. There will probably be a backlash against Arabic communities in the US, and the West, including attacks on civilians.<br />National Guard will be called out in those two states, and maybe even military used in law enforcement/search role. Bases will be sealed tight. Loony right groups will be monitored and shut down even (eg militias)

THIS IS SO LIKE THE ****ING TURNER DIARIES!!!!<br /> Also similar to Debt of Honor (Clancy) and Under Siege (Coonts)

But these bastards will not win, and will be smashed by the people of the world.<br />I consider myself a sort of growing expert in terrorism, as it is my thesis subject, but this suprised me and makes me physically sick. It is the first attack on CONUS since 1812, I think, and really makes me want to both learn as much as I can and crush the tangos, but also to quit the whole subject.

There were rumours in the past few months that Bin Laden was preparing something, and he has the funds to do something like this. Also anti-Taliban leader killed the other day.

No one can conclusively say what happened. This is an unprecendented tragedy, and I pray for the victims, and their families, and especially for all those still uncertain as to the safety of their loved ones. May God help us all.
 
Reports I've heard are that a plane crashed NEAR camp david, not into it. Bush of course was in Florida, speaking to a grade school, and is currently in the air on his way back.

Since most American Airports have closed/banned takeoff's and landings international flights are being diverted to Canadian Airports.

I'd evacuate the CN Tower.
 
but attacks are directed at US, why would they attack us? im scared now <img src="frown.gif" border="0">
