Preserved Topic: Attack Topic III (Page 2 of 2)

who rocks? Britian does...

Got Britian? it Does a country good

Britian - the other white meat

The most up to date estimates of the deaths are in the region of 10,000 - those kind of numbers are difficult to contemplate.

I heard Tony B's speech just now - it looks like they have banned flights over London and stepped up security at the airports but there doesn't seem much else that can be done.

And 3 cheers for Shii's coverage - we all owe you a drink (you might want too space out nearly 1,500 drinks though).

Emps

Cool, but I feel a urgent need to help, so as soon as I can I will give blood, but I understand that it is ok to do it later this week. Is there anyting else we can do to help?

I just talked to one of my old busisness partners who not works for http://shootinggallery.com/ He said he saw the second plane hit out their windows at the office. Sheer Madness.

ABC reports there is 800 people in the hospital,
and 150 people that have been removed by EMT from WTC

This is the largest attack since pearl harbor in 1941!

CNN reports 35 people injured at Pentagon, no reports of deaths yet ...

The US is currently at ThreatCon Delta, the highest threat rating for US Military. All missles armed and ready to go. All bases sealed except for military personnel.

That's what I thought I heard, I wasn't sure. Thanks moaiz

WGN reports that the woodfield mall is closing at 4pm. No trains are going to the O'hara airport and I can only assume that the sears tower is evac also. I pray that they don't attack Chicago...my girlfriend lives 15 minutes away from the Sears tower!

I got a message from my friend... she is alright. She was not on any of the flights, and was just about to leave wfor work when she got the call to turn on the news. One of my cousins is also alright... he works in the State Department, and there was no bombing there apparently. Another cousin... her husband works in the Trade Center... he was on his way to work when it happened, so he too is alright, though they have yet to hear from his brother, who also worked in the building. Thank you to everyone who was concerned.

They have found ALL 4 cockpit voice recorder black boxes so they are hoping this will tell them some type of information they don't know now.

CNN reports that some passengers of the plane that crashed in shanksville, Pennsylania dialed 911 and reported a "hijack" before the plane crashed.

I have heard that too Dark... Good to hear that Human Shield, Shi - Well, maybe we now know who could be behind this...

Just a thought here...

They are telling people here to buy gas and canned goods before the prices go up due to problems of imports ect that may or likely will happen for a while.

How on earth did they already find peices of the plane?

Dark have you read any of the last 3 threads? Everything you've asked and said has already been addressed. Just calm down there...go back and read...All of the info is pretty accurate to what you're hearing on the news...

This may be a regionally isolated event, but a source here has reported that gas stations will be closing tomorrow. There are long lines at the pumps... I'm not sure what the implications are of this - if there are any.

I was wondering if anyone else has similar reports?

Just heard a Rumor From - shanksville, Pennsylvania

I just heard from friend that, a flight controller in the shanksville airport was monitoring transmissions from the planes cockpit radio, and the flight controller says the pilot of the doomed plane is a Hero... and went on to say that the terrorists were unable to gain access to the cock pit area. and just as the pilot realized that they were about to blow the door to the cockpit and take control of the plane, the pilot took the plane into a dive to the ground in a field, before they reached their heavily populated destination....

Again this is still an unconfirmed rumor,
We will soon know if it's true from the recovered " Black Box recorder"
whether or not this is true or not, I just wanted to pass on what I heard......

Can we cut with the looking for reasons to snap at Dark for one thread here, Jeni? I think there are better things to be posting, and considering there have been 3 threads FILLED in less than 8 hours, there's plenty of chances for someone to miss a piece of information. Sheesh.
