I heard (I think fox news) that the price of gasoline will go up to $6/gallon. Don't know if that is correct, just heard it once - but if people panic it will drive the price up too.

Amen, Shi.

As I've said on another Forum:

Call your mom, your dad, brother, sister, friend... whomever.

Even if you weren't anywhere near New York or Washington, I'll bet there's someone who'd love to hear from you. Someone you haven't talked to in a while. Someone who's just as rattled as you are. Call 'em up, tell 'em that you're alright and that you love them. Check in.

They'll appreciate it, and as this morning so sadly illustrates, you never know what tomorrow may bring...

Synthetic- I was talking to my friends at lunch about the chance that the pilot of the plane that crashed in shanksville might have been crashed there on purpose. I was thinking what I would have done.

~Terriost~ "Fly the plane to DC"

~Pilot~ "Fuck you" (Crashes plane right then)

,but the idea that he locked the door to the cockpit sounds better. What I wouldn't give to hear the blackbox...

Excerpts from USA Today:

"A fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed near Pittsburgh after a passenger used his cell phone to report the plane was being hijacked, officials said. United said 45 passengers and crew were aboard the Boeing 757 bound from Newark to San Francisco."
...
"The next confirmed crash came around 10 a.m., near Jennerstown, Pa., 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. WPXI-TV in Pittsburgh said a passenger had called an emergency dispatcher on his mobile phone to report the plane had been hijacked."

Shiii, last I heard over here is that London Heathrow (Terminal 4 - Transatlantic flights) is pretty much no go, people are being put up in hotels near the airport.
Security over here (especially airports, military bases and London) is on high alert.
PM Tony Blair has issued a statement saying that the UK position with America is shoulder to shoulder (no compromise), and he's asked for all America's allies (European Nations inc Russia) to come together to erradicate the terrorist cancer in our world.

Concerning blood donations, again from USA Today:

The New York Blood Center sent all of its inventory to hospitals, in some cases hand-carrying it through chaotic streets, and mobilized blood banks throughout the region to collect more. "There's enough to handle emergency needs at the minute. That could change in an hour," spokeswoman Melissa McMillen said.

The American Red Cross did not call for emergency blood donations, saying it had 50,000 units ready to ship to New York if needed. However, it urged blood donors throughout the country to keep any appointments they have this week to give blood.

Officials at the city's largest blood donation center said they had only 40 points of O-negative blood left by mid-afternoon and could run out by evening. O-negative can be given to any patient, but only 5% of people have it to donate.

The president is on the move, this one from abcnews:

"The president had started the day at an elementary school in Florida, but landed in Louisiana shortly before noon. He was to leave there on Air Force One and continue traveling to undisclosed locations, said ABCNEWS White House correspondent Ann Compton, who was with the president. The pared-down press corps traveling with the president were not being told where they were going."

CNN TV reports that he may go back to Washington soon as a show of American strength. Wait and see I guess.

Rumor has it (my local news) that eventually the President might come to Wichita, Kansas (my city) becuase the Retired Air Force One , which just retired a few days ago sits in a hanger at McConnell Air Force Base while its being restored.

I guess the reasoning would be so there would be an option as to departure or maybe a distraction as to what plane was used if needed.

I do not know why they would bring him here but maybe my theory is correct.

Airports are going to be closed for a while, this from Charlotte NC news:

"Airports across the United States are closed for the next 48 hours after one of the most devastating attacks ever against this country. "
...
"Meanwhile, hundreds of people are stranded at the airport in Charlotte, either looking for rental cars to leave or hotels where they can wait out the grounding of all flights.
"Airport director Jerry Orr says people will be fed at the airport. "

And look for special editions of most newspapers to come out today. I work for a newspaper in Morganton NC, and we are throwing an edition together now. I'm helping get some negatives through our sloooooow printer.

Again from the Charlotte news:
"And for the first time in 10 years, the Charlotte Observer is publishing a special extra edition today on the terrorist attack on the United States. It will be available at racks and newsstands during the afternoon and evening.
"All proceeds from sales of this extra edition will be donated to relief efforts.
"This is the first extra edition The Observer has published since the onset of the Gulf War, January 17, 1991."

KAL jets escorted to Whitehorse landing
Tuesday, September 11, 2001

By STEVEN CHASE
Globe and Mail Update
Origination unclear, but Canadian air force treats them with caution
Ottawa ? Two Korean Air Lines planes ? one of which declared an emergency and was being treated as if it might be under the control of hijackers ? have been diverted to land in Whitehorse under escort from what are believed to be both Canadian and U.S. fighter jets, CBC said.

That's according to Yukon Premier Pat Duncan who spoke to the Globe and Mail today.

It is not clear where the aircraft came from or whether they are connected to the bombing attacks in New York or Washington.

Reports said the jet fighters that escorted the Korean planes were CF-18s.

Seems like Vladimir Putin (President of Russia) is backing a strong counterstrike towards terrorism as well:

-----------
Russia put troops on alert Tuesday after a spate of unprecedented attacks rocked Washington and New York as President Vladimir Putin told his US counterpart he supported a tough response to the strikes.

"The series of barbaric acts directed against innocent people fills us with indignation and revolt," said Putin in a telegram to US President George W. Bush.

"Such inhuman acts must not go unpunished," he said, according to the Interfax news agency.

Just pulled this off CNN Europe.

All civilian flights over London have been stopped and UK defence facilities around the world put on the highest alert. Key buildings in London shut down, including the London Stock Exchange.

In France, armed troops have been deployed at airports and metro stations. Border controls have increased.

The U.S. Embassy in Paris is closed and will be shut again on Wednesday. The embassy is warning Americans in France to be careful about speaking English on the streets.

NATO Secretary-General George Robertson urged all non-essential personnel to leave the alliance's headquarters In Brussels and said they should not report to work on Wednesday.

Israel evacuated its diplomats from its U.S. facilities and closed its airspace to commercial aviation.

There was widespread confusion and congestion at many European airports, as airlines cancelled flights to the United States and recalled or diverted planes already in the air.

A spokesman for Canadian Minister of Transport David Collenette said all air traffic in Canada had been grounded, except for emergency and humanitarian flights.

F1, not much to report yet, this is from cbc.ca:

"TORONTO - Schools and government offices in Whitehorse, Yukon were evacuated Tuesday as jet fighters escorted two commercial airliners to unscheduled landings, after aviation authorities suspected one of the aircraft may have been hijacked.
"One of the airliners is a Korean Airlines 747, the other an unknown 747. Both landed at Whitehorse airport. The jet fighters continue to circle over Whitehorse.
"Peter Novak of CBC Radio in Whitehorse told CBC News Online that aviation authorities said one of the aircraft may have been hijacked. Novak said highways in and out of town may have been closed, and a bomb squad was at the airport."

Hope that helps a little ...

Someone in an earlier thread had heard rumors about gas prices going up. The following is excerpted from USA Today site:

"The Secretary-General of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries Ali Rodriguez said that the Arab-dominated cartel would ensure world oil supplies and price stability.
"OPEC member countries are committed to their promises to guarantee sufficient oil supplies and their policy of strengthening market stability," Rodriguez said after the attacks.
"Furthermore OPEC's members are prepared to use their spare capacity, if deemed necessary, to achieve these goals."
"Rodriguez said there was no chance that any cartel members would threaten to use oil as an economic weapon in the Middle East situation.

Sung to "The Battle Hymn of the Republic"

Mine eyes have seen the eagle, body bloodied, feathers torn.
Head bowed in sorrow and remembrance as he mourns.
The clenching of his talons and the vengeance he has sworn.
The Eagle will fly on

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
The Eagle will fly on

Through the fires and the bloodshed you can hear the call resound.
At the altar of redemption, we will gather all around
Taken up across the country, heavens shaken by the sound.
The eagle shall fly on

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
The eagle shall fly on

You can hear his cries of fury ring from every mountainside.
His shriek of fiery justice will no longer be denied.
He will strike the bloody-handed for the innocent who died.
The Eagle still flies on

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
The eagle still flies on.

With Golden eyes of judgment and a beak of blackened steel
To avenge the wrongly fallen, he will heed their last appeal
He will fly unto the wicked and bring them all to kneel.
The eagle still flies on

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
The eagle still flies on.

He will rise above the maelstrom, he will soar upon the wind.
He shall fall upon the guilty and reward them for their sin
From the ashes of destruction he will rise to fly again.
The eagle shall fly on

Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
The eagle shall fly on!

Ok then...this isn't Skaarjj talking (well, it is now, but it won't be soon)

hello everyone i just wanted to say how sorry i am that this happened and i hope that the american government get these sicko soon i just wanted to give my sympathies to the families of the victims.

*Back to Skaarjj*

I wholeheartedly agree. These people need to be taught that although they may not have morals, it is still not acceptable to murder large numbers of people (or quite frankly anyone for that matter) to prove a point. there are more acceptable ways to go about it, but they have lost that opportunity now.

My cousin was late for work on Wall Street this morning... his car was stopped with the rest of the traffic entering South Manhattan just as the second plane crashed into his building. Thank God for little miracles.

My deepest condolences to those whose families are affected by today's tragedies. As a seriously homesick ex-pat, it is my prayer that wisdom is eventually able to transcend emotion in the handling of this situation.

OK, I apologize if I'm repeating anything that has already been posted, but I'm currently at work (I work at the D-FW CBS affiliate) and do not have time to read all the threads. In fact, I was called in early this morning, shortly after the tragedy, and have been here nearly 14 hours and expect to be here a few more.

Two commercial planes were hijacked and collided with the World Trade Center this morning, the second approximately 18 minutes after the first. Shortly after that, a third plane hit the Pentagon. A fourth crashed just outside Pittsburg, which is believed to have been headed for Camp David.

Many people were witnessed jumping from the upper floors of the WTC to their deaths. Many were able to evacuate. (I know personally of an acquaintance who was working on the 27th floor of the first tower hit, but was able to get out.) However, both towers collapsed a short time later. A few hours following, another building in the WTC complex (Building Seven) also collapsed, but had already been evacuated.

All four planes were destined for California and were apparently chosen because of their large fuel load.

We got unconfirmed word that the second plane was delayed from takeoff for fifteen minutes and so may have been intended to collide in unison with the first. (Again, that is unconfirmed; I don't want to start any purposeless rumors.)

The casualties in New York are suspected to be in the tens of thousands, but it could be weeks before a more accurate number can be determined. The number of casualties in the Pentagon is also vague and has been estimated to be between 100 and 800. (That is not a typo -- the actual count is extremely difficult to determine at this time.)

The FAA shut down all flights in the United States, save four (that we know of here) that were allowed to leave DFW for New York, carrying assistance.

Who exactly is behind these terrorist attacks has not yet been determined, but a retaliation is eminent.

The bombings that were later witnessed in Afghanistan have been confirmed not to be initiated by the U.S., but apparently part of the civil war going on in that area.

As for gas prices skyrocketing, this is a panicked rumor according to Congressman Joe Barton, who we had in the studio earlier this evening. A few stations have raised their prices (up to $5.00 per gallon in Oklahoma), but these are actions taken by opportunistic gas-station owners. (Such actions in this state, incidentally, violate the Texas Trade Practices Act.) Many stations near our studio have already run out of gas, however, due to the panic.

On an additional side note, David Angell, executive producer of the TV show "Frasier," and his wife are known to have been on one of the hijacked flights.

I will try to check in again as soon as I can, but when I get out of here, I'm going to collapse in bed and will probably get up just in time to be back here again for further coverage.

God bless us all.

I don't this this has been said yet..

The Australian Prime Minister, Jhon Howard was actualy in Washington at the time of the attack. He was in a hotel not far from the Pentagon when it was hit. He's currently safe in the Austrailan embasy and it planning on flying back to Australia tonight. He's given his full support to the American gonvernmane and it's people. We've had non stop coverage on every single free-to air TV station here since the events happened (SBS even stayed on-oline), however were mainly just getting the CNN footage.

I was shocked earlier to find hords of people blocking the Queen Street mall of Brisbane City watching the huge 10 foot TV screens installed for the Good Will Games recently held here, and there's not one happy or netural face umong them. Many people had tears runing from their faces... the whole world seems to be sharing Americas pain...

My sympthies go out to anyone affected by this...

This would have to be the sadiest event I have ever witnessed in my entire life, even writing this brings a tear to my eye...

I'm not a religious man, but I fell the need to say, love all and god bless.

Drac.

Personally, I think that this day will be known as the day when World War 3seemed just around the corner. I hope to the Lord that we don't all die.

I offer my condolences to all of the families around the world who lost their loved ones, and to all asylum members who have lost a special part of their lives. My heart goes out to you.

God Bless, and Best Wishes to all of you.

Who was it that asked if today was a special day for the bombing, with some significance. I think I found it...

Last year on September 11, exactly one year ago, there was a major protest in Melbourne, Australia. They were protesting against world trade and globalisation...

Whether the two are related or not, this is still something that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. The fate of the global economy, of the American nation,and of the future of the world is hanging on a knife edge. Some think that there may be more terrorist attacks, but I am praying to God that they are wrong...

I was wide awake when I awoke to my alarm for school this morning. It's been unbelievable to hear everyone ring up the radio station and say what they feel to the whole of Melbourne and Melbourne and Australia are so affected by this. It so overwhelming.....Had most of my art classes on today where we have the radio on all the time.....there was a deathly silence as we hung onto every word uttered about this surreal, emotionally draining situation.
I really hope all you guys here at the asylum are coping as best as you can and you keep your spirits up.
HS I hope to God that you find out that that person you know is fine health.
Shi, what can I say...........I will offer all my thoughts and prayers up for you. I am so deeply crushed to hear about that person you knew. I will be thinking of you.
The Australian Prime Minister John Howard is still over there.........thankfully our Lleyton Hewitt is safe in Adelaide. All though our politicians here cop a lot of flack they really do a good job when it comes to the crunch. They've dealt with it really well.
Apparently Ben Larden was responsible for the attack.......I heard just recently. He is the biggest . He needs his fucking head kicked inside out and all those people who are celebrating.

If worst comes to worse and WW3 hapenned then I would seriously think of going and kill every fucker that comes my way that had something to do with the WTC. And that I would do anything to help other countries and defend Australia. No ones gonna stuff Austrlia....I love it too much......
Must go....my Dad's being a wanker and telling to turn the computer off or else I get grounded for the rest of the year. HAte it when he gets overtired......bloddy poof.....I'm upset enough as it is.

I gotta say though, the S11 protestors had nothing to do with these horrendous bombings. I've got a very good firned who is a protestor, and he knows.

[edit]Tracy Bartrum, a radio show host in Australia read this out today, a note of good hope, a ray of sunshine on an otherwise stormy day.

ARE YOU BLESSED?

If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep ... you are richer than 75% of this world.
If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish someplace ... you are among the top 8% of the world's wealth.

If you woke up this morning with more health than illness? you are more blessed than the million who will not survive this week.

If you have never experienced the danger of battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... you are ahead of 500 million people in the world.

If you hold up your head with a smile on you face and are truly thankful ... you are blessed because the majority can, but most do not.

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you, and furthermore, you are more blessed than over tow billion people in the world that cannot read at all.

Have a good day, a GREAT WEEK and count your blessings.
