The World Trade Center has been attacked!!!

[old.logic7]

Terrorists have flown two large planes into the World Trade Center in
NewYork!!! Just got a call from my mother in law and then saw it on the
news. Condolences go out to those injured and families of those who had
loved one's lost today. (Of which, I was almost one, my brother in law
didn't go to work today because of bronchitis).

Looks quite bad... all the news websites are running really slow!

 

[Testin da Cable]

Can get into Skynews.co.uk. Running very slowly though. They have some pics there.

This is damn serious. These sort of actions could spark a war.

 

[Moving Target]

[WPKenny]

washingtonpost.com is working too..slowly....got some good stuff on it.

It's got a 60 second webcam of the pentagon on fire from a third plane crashing.

 

[Will]

The Palestinian group have denied it... Jesus, I thought you were taking the piss, but no...

[WPKenny]

ARGH!!! I'm sitting in a damn office with no telly nor radio. I'm on a 56k dial-up and none of the news websites are sodding working!

You reckon this news is too late for the "Evening Standard"?

[Nibbler]

Both towers now down.

[WPKenny]

Can anyone confirm for me that the stock exchange in London is being evacuated? I am working on the edge of the Square Mile!!
I wanna know whether to leg it!

 

[Will]

Yes, it has, but just as a precaution, and to stop trading too, I guess.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

George Bush is totally the wrong man to be in office with a situation like this, things are gonna get worse as he overreacts harshly.

 

[old.frankie]

i cant believe this is happening, im very very shocked.

Its sick, it really is. The fucked up thing is that the people who have done this are going to get away with it!

The goverment of the nation or nations who are the enemy of the western world (USA, UK) contact these terrorists group, and give full support to them to carry out the attacks. This was the goverment do not use their own soldiers to carry out this sikening violence. The only way i see to deal with this and to stop it happening again in the furure is to announce war on the nations who supported, and sanctioned this attack. To say that it is an independant attack by a terrorist group would be wrong... certain nations with a grudge fully endorse this sort of actions.

Seeing the WTC's collapse makes anyone in the western world weep. The WTC's reprasent the integrety of the USA, and to some extent the UK. Seeing them blown up in this fasion undermines this, this is why its so shocking, if it was some mall in alabama, fine... but the WTC - Very bad.

 

[old.frankie]

over react?

how so?

each WTC building has 25k workers in it... that means as many as FIFTY THOUSEND PEOPLE could of been killed, plus the people on the plane?

This is war, it has to be... would a nation be allowed to get away with this if it had said it did it? why should the nation still get away with it if they just used terrorists to do their dirty work?
