Just listening to more "rumors" which may or may not be true. Working for a living means I miss a lot of news coverage during the day. Anyway, heard two things, was going to ask yall if you heard anything similar, and if it is true or not:

1. Apparently there were short interviews with some of the workers who got out of the WTC in time. Many of the people were on the lower floors. When the plane hit their building, their supervisors told them to go back to their desks, it was "just an explosion"???!!! Some decided to ignore said supervisors and leave the building, which in the end saved their lives. I cannot believe after a plane actually penetrated the building, that supervisors would look it it like it was no big deal, and to tell employees to "get back to work." Hope this is a true "rumor" and not a fact!

2. Some guy down in the rubble at the WTC used his cellphone, and ended up calling Canada of all places, saying repeatedly "I'm alive I'm alive." Canadian reported the call to NY police, and they are investigating. Rumor? Haven't heard a thing myself on the news about it, just got this particular info from a family member. Also, does anyone know how many floors of these WTC towers had underground? If there are a few floors under there, do you think the collapse didn't affect them as bad, and they could still be alive down there?

3. Lynchburg, VA Minister Jerry Falwell (sp?) stated publicly, in so many words, that God is punishing us, and what has happened is all our fault! He very soon after that took his words back and apologized, after hearing the outraged outcry from people all over America. True? If so, what do you think? I disagree that God would send out Evil to do Evil myself, I find those comments outrageous and totally an inappropriate thing to say as a popular? Minister at this particular time, what kind of response did he think he would get? Maybe he just needed to word it differently? Dunno..
