READ BEFORE POSTING! World Trade Center Terror Attack?

Just heard from wife who works near Dulles Airport. They've closed her building as reports of hijacked plane flying around Dulles?? Other friends in the Reston/Herndon area also being sent home.
 
The enemies that Clinton's actions fostered have now brought home to our shores what they have been doing to Israel. Yes, now we know what it feels like to be bombed. Should we "negotiate" or retaliate?
 
More than 50,000 people worked in the World Trade Center.
This is horrible. The only silver lining I can find is that it didn't happen two hours later when more people were at work. Still ... it happened around 9 am.
 
Here is the second plane

If we find out this is coming from the Middle East we should use our nuclear submarines to retaliate. F*ck the collateral damage. Make the Middle east one big parking lot.
 
Suppose that's the anniversary they were looking for, Runt?

I was scrambling to figure out a date the terrorist community would latch onto, myself. Good catch!

Ok, here's a serious gut check. I'm active duty Air Force, as most know here at TFL. I've been burning use-or-lose leave this week, when I wake up to this devastation on the news. I haven't been called in to fly, no need for the WC-135W to scramble yet, although Threatcon has ramped up to at least Bravo by now. But I'm thinking about that F-16 pilot who may be given the order to shoot down a hijacked 7X7/DC-X to prevent it taking out the White House.:(
 
?? Significance of todays date?

Any serious history students out there know if there is any significance to todays date as the chosen date for this declaration of War?
 
Brian,
That's conjecture, but (in my opinion) a darned good guess.

-----

just in:

Aircraft which crashed at Camp David hit nothing of value.

four flights hijacked:

AA flt 11 f/Boston to LA (second plane to hit towers) 757 acft 81 souls onboard

United 175 f/Dulles

AA flt 77 f/Dulles to LA, 54 souls on board; possible 767

United flt 93 f/Newark to San Francisco (crashed at Camp David - no real damage)

----

FAA reports some messages from acft before they crashed.

(( We will know who did this..... ))

Air Force 1 in the air, destination of Washington area, exact destination unknown.

-----

Just in: PLO representative says he does not know who is responsible.

Friend that works at Ohare said two United planes are missing. American Airlines was the carrier that hit the world trade center. :( Its not over yet.
 
If you can't do anything else, PRAY for those who have been killed or wounded. Incredible...

Thanks Runt "Today is the anniversary of the Camp David Accords / between the Palestinians and Israelies."

Just a thought on the significance of the date - the month and day are 911.

You look for symbolism where you can find it...

God help us all! Pray for the dead and their survivors.
 
Let's pray for all, but I heard a good suggestion for those who want to do something more. You should find out about giving blood because they are going to need it.
