World Trade Center Disaster

My sympathies go out to all of the innocent people involved in this.
I truly think the entire world is in shock.
It is horrible...;(

I agree that two wrongs don't make a right, but I'd certainly expect those responsible to be held accountable in some form. It's altogether too easy to jump to irrational conclusions and make a hasty judgement, so I hope our elected and appointed officials act wisely as well.

Unbelieveable!

I'm so in shock, I'm almost crying over here. My heart rate must be at 140...

Very Sad
Over here we're on full tactical alert and Lockdown.
(Thank God I work from home) but some of my family and friends are on lock down in Los Angeles and cannot move at the moment...
(But I truely think the attacks are over, they've already done their damage)

Amen T-Man...
wonder what will happen next in response to this?

Not only do I wonder about what the response will be but what about continued attacks? Will we wake up tomorrow only to find out other disasters have occured?

I dunno this is really scarey =/
there is still one plane running around unaccounted for over here by us, so everyone is on complete LockDown =/
I don't "think" this incident will go unresponded to one way or another something is going to happen, don't you think?...

I think its pretty obvious that there will be some sort of retaliation. How much retaliation? That will depend on many factors with the biggest one being 'Who is responsible?'

Numbing, is the only way I can describe how this news affect me. These events certaily make one feel very vuhnerable. I certainly do. My deepest sympathy's and prayers go out to the victims of these attacks.

i think the only punishment is death

Well, if it turns out that the pilot of the plane heading for Washington to take out the white house actually fought the terrorists and brought his plane down in a suicide crash where no one else would get hurt then I think that person was a true hero.

my heart and thoughts also go out to all the people directly effected by this very dark days events. My heart also goes out to any innocent people that will be unluck to get caught in the area around the people that planned this horrific attack.

I am so sad that all this is happenning. The thin that makes me mad is that all these people are doing is repeating the same thing over and over...kinda annoying...this may be the beginning of WW3

Pray to God no one turns that dark corner Red_Baron, and yet...it might have already started. Maybe that was the plan! I, like millions of others hope that day never comes.
My heart does go out to all those people that lost their lives today, and also to their families wherever they maybe. It's bad enough when someone dies as a course of life, but in this inhuman and insane way? It doesn't bare thinking about.
I just hope to God that whoever the evil sick minded fanatics who perpitrated this masacre are, they get their just reward, and please dont preach at me about an 'eye for an eye' never solves anything, ask all those families and friends who are suffering at this moment, some not knowing if their loved ones are alive or not. A slap on the wrist or cutting off diplomatic channels is all well and good, but do you honestly think the kind of mind that carries out atrosaties like this gives a damn? I dont.
They are willing to die for their cause? Then let them. But not at the expense of inocent people.
If there is a hell, may they enter it as soon as possible and rid the world of hate and war mongers once and for all.

yeah. hopes ww3 never comes however. too many got nuclear power. can you guys say glass earth?

but i hope those that did it will be punished evenally.

They won't probably. Anyway, I feel sorry for those in the planes and those trapped in the towers. Nasty ways to die.

Condolences and praiers is all I can do at this moment ((
For sure, this will not just affecting US...it will afect the whole word.
PEACE!

Makes you kinda stop and think for a while......

Well, I'm not sure how many more attacks were actually planned, or how many they will carry out if there were originally more planned. But about an hour ago, we heard a couple of loud "booms" and the windows starting rattling in my area. I just heard on the news that there are reports of a plane going down somewhere near the Dayton OH VA Medical Center (has not been confirmed yet). If it was a plane, it was probably headed for Wright Pat Air Force Base.

There is no doubt the US will retaliate after this. I just hope that Bush handles this better than the other situations he's been faced with.
It's kind of odd. First, we're in a war when his father is in office, now with him, it looks like it will happen again.

I'm still in shock... I feel as though the world has changed forever for me. I feel such anguish and pain, and I pray for all who've been hurt by these insane acts of violence.

This is unimagineable, if you have never been to the World Trade Center and vicinity, you have no idea of just how many people are in this area especially on a weekday. The horror of this attack has yet to be realized. Today we're in shock, tomorrow sorrow, after that only anger.

I agree. I've been to the WTC on several occasions, have a security badge even for it. The building is immense. 50,000 people work there plus typically another 5,000 to 10,000 visitors at any given time.

Imagine a medium sized city being erased at once. I don't know what the death toll will be. But it was reported that half of New York's fire fighters were killed (245 dead) and 78 police officers were killed.

If there were 50,000 people (25,000 per tower) that means that probably at least 20,000 people died there alone. The problem was that in the first building, evacuation was impossible above the floor of the collision and they were slow to evaucate in the second building.

The first question people as is who, the second question is why, and the third is what are we going to do in response? I wish I knew those answers tonight, my friends.

Almost as painful as the un-necessary death, it hurts very deeply that there is so much hate in the world. I pray for peace and comfort for all involved with this disaster as well as for wisdom and knowledge for our government to make good decisions. I fear the retaliation my be worse than the actual act. Don’t get me wrong, anyone responsible should be punished but the entire world is now at risk. I am very proud to be an American and blessed to live in this wonderful country. I hope that other countries will help us to stop all the unnecessary violence. – Sorry for the rambling, I just had to get this off my chest.
