Scary. Extremely scary.
And to say it was a terrorist attack. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/eek.gif

Hell wont describe what the American people WILL DEMAND after this! No rationalizing no lets talk, its obvious who did this one.
God bless my country, God bless and protect the souls lost and suffering right now and God bless those who come to there rescue & aid and will deliver there vengenes!
This sickens me. Hurting and killing, particularly civilians. My sister's school is nearby and I have an uncle who lives close by with his fiancee. They are probably unscathed but I wouldn't blame anyone for being scared out of my mind.
> its obvious who did this one.
And that would be?
I could name any six possibilities off the top of my head. America has a number of enemies.
And I think we all know that no kind of retaliation will make up for what's just happened - it'll just make it worse.
My sympathies go out to anyone who knows people involved.

This just keeps gettign worse...
Imagus...
Right and wrong... Right attitude, wrong timing...
AND I just heard about the Pentagon...
Things get worse... This is terrorism, until its claimed. Then its an act of war.
But until its claimed, nobody can respond, as Imagus says, the US has a number of enemies, and its getting the right one...
But no mistake. This NEEDS to be dealt with...

And what about the Pentagon?? Is that confirmed? Was it ANOTHER terrorist attack?
Now that the Palestinian terrorist cells confirmed the authorship of the attack, I guess the conflict in the Middle West will be over... soon.

I want to express my sympathies to anyone who knew someone involved in this murder.
Terrorism against civilians is IMO the worst crime of all (my city was plagued by this horror a few years ago, but never on such a scale).
I'm at work now, and hearing some further news from some co-workers. I heard about another attack on the White House and the Pentagon, and the collapsing of one of the tower. I can't check since the Net is jammed, but I fervently hope these are false.
Oh no, there are images on TV... please wake me. I'm no american, but I'm a human being.
I'm now fearing for the peace of the world as we know it.
I'm watching live feeds now, the towers look like their still standing, nope top section of one!!!
Was the US the only country attacked?
Just heard Irafat people might have had some thing to do with this!!!
For the love of all...what the hell!!!

One source alredy has cliamed responesibilty the PDL or Palestinian Democratic Liberation Front to Abu Dabe TV, just the first of main. If they want the credit for it then they should take the punishment for it!
Dan, your absolutly right.
Good point, Dan - I'm really sorry if I've offended anyone by jumping too soon. My pacifist tendencies will out. I'm just as shocked as anyone here and speaking as someone who regularly plays devil's advocate, I can't see any real reason for this one.
My biggest worry is that retaliations will start before the investigators really know what's going on. Memories of Tripoli continue to plague me.
We're just picking up stuff as it shows up here - but the net is kind of locked up right now. As far as I can make out, only the US is being hit - and we think they won't be able to do it again.
My flatmate, who is from Virginia and used to work in DC, is somewhat distraught to say the least.

Two planes were hijacked and crashed into the WTC.
Another hijacked plane crashed into the Pentagon.
The FAA has grounded ALL civilian aircraft in the US. And the Pentagon, White House, and Capitol have been evac.
And the NYSE never opened today. I work for an investment co., so this is HUGE, believe me.
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feel... not so good.

One tower has collapsed I saw the film though I think it was a partial one.
Did someone say that a Palestinian group claimed responsibility for this?
The other tower just came down.
As an American Taxpayer, I DEMAND that we NUKE the the bastards.
Two planes into WTC.
The Pentagon
A Car Bomb At the State Department
THOUSANDS killed.
Nuke them.

It has come home for me, a plane has just crash in Somerset county Pa, which is near Pittesburgh the local news has just broke in.

Ye gods!!! http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/eek.gif http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/mad.gif
(actually PDLF appears to have denied any claim ...)
(strange side effect: the internet looks completely saturated ...)
Apparently, both towers are collapsing.
From what the news just said, at least of of the planes that hit the WTC was a 737 or 757, that had been hijacked. They weren't sure what the other one was (probably something similar)
All civilian aviation in the USA has been grounded.

No, nukes are a bad idea. End of the world would be the result.
Who did this?
I've been hearing Usama bin Laden, but that's just speculation at this point.
Who did this to the United States?
Why didn't the so-called "intelligence community" know?
Too those not american, I think at this moment you better just let us vent, you have no Idea how this is effected us, Nothing will ever be the same.
Who? Don't know. But you can be sure that where ever they are... We will pick them apart.Quote:

Mark my words.
I assure you, this not only affects the US Americans.Quote:

But leave Pandora where it is!!!
This is far more simple than it seems. If it was a rogue Palestinian organization, USA will give green light to Israel to do 'whatever they want' with them, including providing them with some 'assistance' (read: ready ground and air US forces).
That's for sure...
Lets not start bickering amongst ourselves, once the responsable party is discovered the world will turn their eyes to them. Your rignt the US was not the only country effected, nearly any country that did business in the Wall Street area have also been affected.
What scares me is not what what happened but how?
With all the security; with all the resources...
Terrorists launched a multi-pronged attack against the most powerful nation on Earth. Airplanes used as weapons...car bombs...
America has gotten a bloody nose. Hurt in its heart as much in body.
The U.S. will retaliate. It will be quick. It will be decisive. It will be nasty.
The dark times have only begun today. I am truly, truly afraid of what will happen next.

Although I'm not an American, my sympathy goes out to you. The sight of the two towers going down was devistating enough but when CNN announced that 50,000 people work in the buildings it became impossible to hold back the tears.
After today, the world will not stand idle anymore against terrorists and terrorism in general.
They have just lowered the bar. But we will go lower.
We have the firepower. We have the manpower.
We need to go on the offensive.
Time clean house.

We said after December 7th 1941 "Never again" Well. Think we can now sum up US intelligence abilities in the last 100 years as a total and complete failure!

You're not the only one afraid prophetsteve. Dark, dark times ahead indeed ... http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/frown.gif
This is not a crime against Americans, this is a crime against mankind and an act of war as well. I'm appalled by such an act as a human being, whichever my motherland may be.
But however we feel, we should avoid to unleash the power of the atom. For one point, nobody knows who is responsible yet, and any mistake would be of incalculable consequences.
Please, don't start WWIII.

There is too much lag on here.

My dad works at the Pentagon, but luckily, he was not in the area. The Pentagon is constantly under restoration/renovation/upgrading/updating and his section of the building was in the midst of this process, so his office had been moved to nearby Crystal City, Virginia. Luckily, today was a day that he did not have to go into the Pentagon, so he is safe.
My sister goes to college in NYC, about 1/4 mile from the World Trade Center. They have been relatively unaffected and all the students are safe.
I count my blessings on this one and my thoughts and prayers go out to those with loved ones who were more affected than I.
Whoever did this is going to pay.
I've just heard that the UK is on high alert now as well... true?
I saw that an FAA building was crashed into in Virginia... can anyone confirm that?
C5 and everyone else I didn't mean my comment to be harsh or meanspirited, just that when posting for awhile give us all some slack to vent our feelings. As the news builds in the coming days alot of countries will find out they lost people in the towers and begin to feel this, let alone the economic impact, beside the impact as just plain Human beings which you expressed well.
What is wrong with these people??
50,000!?!? GOD help us!
