<<What stood outside my window stands no more. The
World Trade Center Twin Towers was removed from
this earth by our Middle Eastern friends. Pearl
Harbor II. >>
For our international members, a least 4 commercial jetliners were hijacked on the
Atlantic coast of the USA. They were mainly flights bound for the Pacific coast and
loaded with 15,000 to 20,000 pounds of jet fuel. The two planes that hit the World
Trade Towers carried some 156 souls. The towers have a worktime population of 50,000+
and some people made it out. Other firefighters and rescue workers were killed by the
collapse of the towers.
Two more commercial jetlines are reported gone, crashing outside the US Presidential
retreat in Camp David, Maryland and 80 miles out of the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
airport. 110 souls aboard these flights. In addition, something has caused a major
fire at the Pentagon, reported as another commercial airliner crashed there.
Air traffic across the USA is shut down. 22 international flights are bound for the
USA and have yet to land. 50 long range domestic domestic flights are also in the
air. Government leadership has been evacuated from Washington, DC. The President
left Florida and is at an airbase in Lousiana.
Many pilots on commercial airlines are former military pilots. Commercial pilots
would have flown the planes into the ground before crashing into the World Trade
Center. I presume they were killed before the crashes. The planes were Boeing 767
and 757's, easier to fly than some others.
We will have a national day (week?) of mourning here. Big buildings in Chicago are
closed and the workers are sent home. Business meetings this week will be cancelled
as the national air traffic system will be in a confused state.
This is another Pearl Harbor sneak attack. It will mobilize American opinion into a
rage for revenge. And I feel that rage myself... No mercy for the attackers, for
their families, for their relatives, or for their sympathizers!
