Yeah, the entire NY Rangers team was supposed to be staying at the hotel inside the WTC as well. I'll dig around for the article if I get a chance. Apparently they moved their training camp due to lack of locker space at the proposed training facility (near the WTC).

<< Chan was to have starred in Nosebleed as a Manhattan window cleaner who foils a terrorist scheme to blow up the Statue of Liberty. Backers MGM say it is still to early to say whether the film's content will now be altered. >>


I'd say it's safe to say that movie's script is in the shredder now..

Jackie would have kicked some terrorist a$s!

Seriously though, I'm glad he wasn't.

Glad to hear it. His films are great and it'd suck if he was added to the list of dead at the WTC.
BIN LADEN, YOU SUCK!!!

I live in a very small upper middle-class NY suburb and we have a lot of NY execs in my town. Fortunately, there was a power outage the night before, so almost everyone was late to work. We only lost 4 people I think (of 8000), but had that power outage not occured, it probably would have been closer to 100.

Man that was close I can't imagine that there wouldn't be a Rush Hour 3.

But if he had died you all know that China would have been really pissed! They probably would have taken out Afgan by themselves.
