Plane crashes into World trade Center

This has huge implications and meanings.

The awakening of the sleeping giant. :(

So according to Refried we should continue to let them bomb us all they want and we shouldnt fight back. Awesome.

BTW: The National Guard officer posted to our building today just confirmed, we are at Defcon 3.

I was playing Tribes 2 here in Hong Kong when a few guys jumped on the server and started talking about the attack. I quickly ran over and turned on the TV and immediately wished I had not. I feel sick. Absolutely sick. The kind of sickness you get when you are so angry that your stomache is pure bile. I am shaking right now.

We can not give in to the terrorists. We can not let them think that they have won.

As Doc and PJ both said, the world has forever changed. No country in the world has faced the sheer size of terrorist attacks that the US has faced. Israel faces very small attacks compared to the US: Beirut, embassies in Africa, housing quarter in Saudi Arabia, first bomb attack on WTC, now this attack. Enough is enough. Fuck Afghanistan and the fuck the Taliban. If they are uncooperative then they best get the fuck out of the way. Complete and total erradication of all middle east terrorist groups is now called for.

"Let nobody think that Americans are incapable of facing this foe and defeating him. Let nobody think that this country is any less able to 'face the naked days' than she was in 1861, in 1917, in 1941 and 1950. We shall rise to this. We shall take our revenge. We shall absorb these blows, and strike back a hundred times harder. Let America's enemies crow today: Tomorrow they will tremble, and weep."

Yes, NY National Guard has been activated.

Pearl harbor was different. The enemy was clear and the world was already at war. It's pretty hard to declare war on a terrorist group.

well Dio your friends family will end up in my city, all flights to new york are coming to Pearson international in Toronto

Toronto's gov't buildings and Ottawa's have just been evacuated too as precautionary.

It is time for war, and I for one hope my country gets involved too.

I firmly believe the only reason we are not "officially" at Defcon 1 is because we are setting our sites.

There are two Naval bases here, as well as a nuclear sub base about 20 miles north, anyone off base has been called back, I believe because we are preparing our warships to leave.

Also a bomb squad has been sent to the Southtrust banking headquarters here to investigate a suspected bomb.

Life has changed. It will never be the same again.

heh, phal..we were just talking about that.


sry, the pace of this thread is kinda fast

The thing about Bush is that he may not be the smartest president we've ever had, but he surrounded himself with the smartest people. Gen. Colin Powell is not going to take this lightly, and if any of you remember his reputation earned from Desert Storm, there will be swift and severe retribution paid to those responsible.

This attack goes so far beyond anything I've ever seen in my lifetime... this isn't a car bomb outside of an embassy, or a suicide bomber on the West Bank. This attack was an act of war, and there's going to be some serious things happen in the next few days.

heh, I know it..
I'm in a copm class, and of course were all just watching T.V...
so I'm hitting f5 everytime I read the last post..2 posts per time I hit it..I cant keep up.

They said the kids were throwing candy and such...

My heart goes out to everyone involved in all this. To some extent we are all involved.. Im crying here.. :(

pretty scary you want to kill people who dance because they are told the reason isralies have much better weapons is because of america. if you were told it was some country who did this you'd dance if we attacked them and then if it wasn't them they'd want you killed and if they attacked they would be justified like you would be.

think about it.

I'm like 5 min away from person. I'm at Seneca@York. I hope this dosn't cause more traffic! Damn terorists. ;|

It was a US terrorist attack... Bush would be pretty stupid to drop bombs on our own country.

Everyone should be watching the news. Not guessing if it was Arabs or not.
