still can't believe what happened. i am praying for all those involved, especially the firemen/women, and any rescue teams. this makes me too sick to worry about computers today.

i extend my condolences to anyone who has family involved.

I doubt this is the case...as sickening as it may be, some people take advantage of situations like this and think it's "FUN" to scare people and do copycat bomb scares. But as of now, it just *may* be true...after today, anything,as far as I'm concerned, is possible.

<< ok....im praying for all of the families of these victims, but I just had a thought...if the world trade center is down, is our economy gonna be screwed? I was told that without trade, the economy will collapse. Im not trying to be mean or anything, but it's just a thought.. >>




It is bad for the economy, but it would be worse if the NYSE got hit.

"It is bad for the economy, but it would be worse if the NYSE got hit."

The NYSE is harder of a target than the WTC towers, which stuck out like sore thumbs on the coast of Manhattan Island...Wall Street is harder to find, harder to target with a massive plane.

And that is why it would be untrue. The Chain of Command is generally not in the same place in case of a disaster like this.

"This is not good, especially for the Muslim community inside the US (including me)."

I sincerely hope the United States government has the decency not to repeat what they did to Japanese-American nationals during World War II...

Just a quick note.. the 2 planes could easily have taken out the towers even if made to withstand them if extra explosives where on board.... I have no idea if they did or not just giving posibilitys

In 1996 they thwarted a terrorist attempt to blow up 12 jumbo jets 747's in many locations
who was responsible then?

But, 90% off all the Wall St firms and several other exchanges including the diamond, gold and bond exchanges were localed in the WTC. This WILL have an effect.
