Pvt. Ryan Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 The potential loss of life is greater than at Pearl Harbor. CNN said there could have been as many as 50,000 in the two towers when they were hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priest can you tell us what you have seen on CNN?? Thanks again -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PawBroon Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Storming Heaven by Dale Brown. For what it's worth, it was ALL in the book. Some towelheads had learned to read I'd say. As for flying CAP (since it's so very much like this book) there is still the fact that you'd have to down an airliner full of civilians and then have it crash anyway somewhere. That's a bad one. Rome and some other European airports shut their services so that no more planes fly your way and to avoid possible bombing of US assets abroad. God help you all guys...

Stefan Fredriksson Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Apparently the force of the collapsing parts were too much for the remaining structure. AP apparently reports a big airliner going down in Pennsylvania. I can not understand this. I still expect it to be some kind of sick joke.

Priest Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 They have footage of the second plane and then both towers collapsing. It would seem that the 2nd tower is still semi up (barely) and the Pentagon is collapsed but a very small percentage compared to the WTC. Secretary of Defense is being evaced now. There is now fighter cover over NY. [ 09-11-2001: Message edited by: Priest ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Priest Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 Supposedly there is a plane heading north away from the US with fighters in pursuit. All planes in the air have been asked to land and an indisclosed amount of airliners have not responded. That could be real real bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chasd Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 This is very unnerving, even down here in Australia, I cant see myself getting to sleep for a while unless I take some drugs. My heart goes out to those who have lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holien Posted September 11, 2001 Share Posted September 11, 2001 :eek: My heart is burning and I hope those responsible can be found and brought to justice. I am gutted and truely torn by what I have seen and what I can imagine. As many of you are US citizens I can give you nothing but my words of sorrow at what has happened today. The world will be worse for what has been done today. H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
