"It's a sad day in America."
6:20
MAIL from Rich in NY
This is horrific. The local TV station
have much more graphic video than CNN.
People are jumping out of the building.
CNN had the same video of the second plane that I witnessed.
The plane just plowed into the building.
The magnitude of this won't be known
for weeks.
That pile of steel and concrete will
be smoking for weeks. The job of cleaning the area will
take years. If you saw the building
collapsing, you can imagine how far chunks of concrete
and steel were flying. Reports are that
the city has called to evacuate every building south
of Canal St. The effect on business
is devastating. Not to mention that the stock exchange is
closed indefinitely but all the small
businesses that ran off the financial business are no more.
The entire area south of Canal is closed.
The cleanup is going to take years. You
have megatons of steel and concrete laying where the
WTC used to be. 10 blocks around are
covered in rubble. They are going to have to cut the
giant steel beams into little pieces
and put it on one of a hundred trucks and get it out of there.
They'll have bring barges in to take
the scrap. The roadways can't take all that added truck traffic.
Somewhere on the internet I'm sure you
can find out how much steel and concrete went into those buildings.
It's all scrap metal now and it has
to be taken away. How do you rip down the remaining floors?
Grapple hooks don't reach that high.
The smoke hasn't even cleared enough
to see how high high is. The buildings for blocks and blocks
around may have to come down.
The bar was packed at 2 in the afternoon on a Tuesday. Every two
seconds a cell phone was going off.
Everyone was glued to the TV's. The plume of smoke is directly overhead.
The bar is right next to the NY train
station. We were wondering how many cars are going to be in that lot
all night tonight, never to see their
owners turn the key again. I didn't see a southbound train come into the
station all afternoon.
The amount of information stored on hard
drive servers in the WTC is huge.
Many telecommumications firms are (were)in
that building. We have no idea the damage done yet.
The markets are closed.
If the market collapsed today, investors
don't even know and can't sell even if they did know.
This is trouble.
Rich
I'm reminded of Walter Matthau's chilling speech in the original
Fail-Safe.
"There are important documents in NY
that must be saved."
You're right. It'll be weeks before we know what we've lost.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Major League Baseball postponed its entire
schedule of 15 games
Tuesday night following the terrorist attacks and other sports
also called off their events.
Aside from work stoppages, it was the first time since D-Day
in 1944
that baseball wiped out a whole day of regular-season play.

Response?
Excerpt:
THE SCALE of the attacks and the loss of
life — mostly in New York City’s World Trade Center,
but also in Pittsburgh and Washington —
ensured that “no option has been taken off the table,”
senior U.S. officials said. Asked if that included
nuclear weapons, one senior official said:
“I said no option is out of the question.
That’s precisely what I mean.”

It appears that they might have been able to
survive, and 1100 degrees
CENTIGRADE for 30 minutes was far less than
they were exposed to
for about that period of time, before the
buildings collapsed.
Now, finding them.
About taking the buildings down - they survived
the
original impact, but with 255,000 lbs (max
gross
takeoff weight for 757) to 395,000 lbs (MGTOW
for 767)
additional, plus ten or so floors of water
sprinklers
flooding, plus interior structural damage
- down they go.
Give blood, and wave the flag.
America will never be the same.

Barbara Olson was on the aircraft that
ultimately crashed into the Pentagon.
She managed to get two calls out to
her husband on her cell phone.
She said the hijackers were armed with
knives and box cutters, weapons that
probably came in just under the scope
of what is checked for in airports.
Perhaps these items were even commonly
available in the restaurants and
such that are located in the secure
area, and were stolen, hidden in
flower pots and similar such locations
and retrieved this morning.
