I've been following the thread as best as I can between classes, since we can't get any of the major news service sites up here at work. It's perfectly fine to express grief or other emotion about the news, but please, people, try to refrain from exploding at members of other races. I have friends in Denton who are Middle Eastern students and I can only imagine the terror they are going through right now, fearing retaliation from others.

It is a horrible, sick, terrifying situation. My supervisor whom I think the world and all of is a sergeant in the US Army Reserves. She is due for retirement in May. I dread the thought of her having to go to war, if that possibility arises.

Keep posting news here, guys. It's the only link some of us have (at least I do until I get home and to a TV.)

Oh, okay. See, I DID misunderstand. But even what I thought you meant IS possible. We have enough self-proclaimed "anarchists" here that they might have helped.

I'm watching the news in my classroom.

They (ABC)are reporting that a large passenger plane hit the Pentagon. It drove through one of the sides and ended up in the middle courtyard. The building has sustained a lot of damage and is partially in flames.

What does this mean for National Security? In the chaos, imagine who could get into the middle of that very sensitive building.

I simply can't understand how anyone can get a gun onto an airplane these days.

I don't think anyone officially" claimed responsibility,


8 planes were hijacked, there are 5 still unaccounted for.

VERY good question!!!!! But I don't need to get into "conspiracy theories" here, do I?

It seems they managed. My speculation: someone at one or more of the airports was aiding the terrerists. I hope that's not true...

This picture has nothing to do with the other part of my sig. It's just cool.

I agree to that, Sazerac. We must remember that no matter WHAT certain terrorist organisations did, most of the people in Palestinia had NOTHING to do with it - if it was Palestinia There is no proof, and I for one will not condemn anyone else without proof. Sir Kenyth, please remember that many of us do not live in the US. I personally think that retaliation would only make things worse - WWIII. Oh God... I feel so sick...
