Can you imagine the millions of dollars still in the hands of extremely rich and extremely connected families who just lost sons and daughters, uncles and on and on... in that tower crash?
I can. They are living on borrowed time from now on.

Why would you even say that?!

They have also said in the news that if this continues Canada could be the next target, or England even. As for why people would do this, because they are sick and either envious, or attacking because of our peace keeping mission in the middle east. All I know is that this had better be the end of it, for everyone's sake.

Just posting here to give my regards to all those from america (Particularly from NYC) and those who where killed in the unprecidented attacks. I couldn't believe it when I saw it on the news, it's like something out of a movie, like the ones you say "That'll never happen" to. Although I am not a great fan of violence of any kind, any retaliation of the US (Please leave out the nukes!!) will have my (And many others) support. Kindest regards,

In case anyone is interested, there is a Yahoo article giving the reactions of countries around the world.
http://us.news2.yimg.com/f/42/31/7m/dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010911/wl/crash_tradecenter_world_dc_5.html

Basically, everyone seems to think this could very well lead to war, and everyone seems to be behind it.

War sucks!

I doubt that we will have World War III. The terrorists seem to be a group not a country. But if a country gets in the way then who knows what will happen. I hope no one makes any irrational moves.

I am completely stunned. This day will probably become more infamous than the day the Titanic sank...I cannot begin to express my shock, and horror at the events that have just happened. I do not consider this a terrorist attack on the United States, I consider this an attack on the entire world. Thousands of innocent people from hundreds of countries have just been killed in a matter of three hours, but for what reason?

Some people have compared this disaster to Pearl Harbour, however now on we will be comparing Pearl Harbour to this attack.
My thoughts are with those who suffered.

Yeah, this is called the "Second Pearl Harbor" although it is much worse than that.

This is indeed a very tragic day... and unfortunately a day that will go down in the history of the United States of America, as well as the world.

I actually live in the suburbs of DC, near the Pentagon, so this has been directly affecting me. We were released early from school, and people were constantly being called out of classes for reasons obviously concerning their friends and family involvement in this tragedy. I will never forget how nerve-racking it was for me and others sitting there and praying our names would not be included in the long list of students needing to be dismissed being rattled off one-by-one over the intercom by the downcast voice of our principal. Most people's family and friends were okay. However, some were not as lucky as others.

What doesn't seem to make sense is that normally terrorists perform their (cowardly) attacks for more of a political impact - this, on the other hand, was completely outrageous. A pure evil, the worst any humans of this kind have yet unleashed on this Nation, or any nation upon the earth. I can do nothing but hope that this disgusting act is brought harshly to justice, and that we ensure that nothing of this magnitude is ever attempted again.

God bless the individuals killed and wounded in this incident and their families and friends who must be suffering more pain then I can possibly imagine. And finally, God please bless America.

the magnitude of hijacking & steering 4
jetplanes full of living people
(& the optimum amount of jet fuel aboard)

towards an eventual impact with inhabited
buildings shows that----

Barbarianism is indeed *thriving* in our
so-called hi-tech world

do you wonder why there's a great sadness
all over the world today?

evil has prevailed today-
but they'll stand before justice

Try to imagine the thoughts of those on the planes in the distance of hundred yards in front of WTC tower when it was clear the plane is heading to melt inside the buiding. No escape! A few seconds and you evaporate with the exploding fuel!

Nightmare!!!

Try to imagine the fear of those inside the towers seeing the nose of the plane at high speed just behind their window. No escape! A few seconds and you evaporate with the exploding fuel!

Nightmare!!!

Try to imagine panic of those thousands trapped inside falling down towers.

Nightmare!

But this nightmare took place FOR REAL!

What a sick mind could kill thousands of innocent people at the blink of the eye?!

In the name of what?...

I doubt that it's the start of WW3, becuase if WW3 did start, i probably mean the end of the world.

Ya know what... I heard someone talk about a Nostradomus (sp?) prophecy.

"In the ninth month of the new century their third big war will begin when the fire begins..." or something like that. But I doubt that it will happen. I think that the person who found it kind of exxagerated it.

This is indeed a tragic and terrible event!
And I wish to extend my sincerest heartfelt wishes to every one, since we are all effected by such barbaric acts.
Unfortunately, I have seen this type of activity before. My dad's car was bombed during the Munich Games, I served in the army during the times of Ayatollah Khomeni, and was just geeting out when Khadafi started his thing in Iraq/Saudi Arabia.
These people that do this type of thing are cowards, claiming to be following some 'divine' path and clearing the world of Evil! But they hide behind masks and destroy countless hundreds of innocent lives! At least when Japan declared war on us in WWII, they didn't hit civilian areas and hide away in annonimty!

Yes, this is terrible. I actually saw ppl jumping out of the Trade Center on Video because they knew they couldn't get out. From the 70th floor. It was Osama Bin Laden and he will come to justice. No one does this to America and gets away with it. Not to my country.

The Jackals and Wolves run riot. There is no time for sorrow and mourning. Turn to the matter in hand, otherwise you shall open the gate and welcome in a thief.

To kill in the name of Religion is the Gospel of the dammed.

May your souls seek the balance may they teach ours to find the same.

not sure if it's real, but have a look. found from a newsgroup.

"In the city of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart
by chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb, the
third big war will begin when the big city is burning" ----Nostradamus 1654

Yesterday I've seen some new footage of the second plane crashing into the wtc building and I was getting goosebumps all over again
I was discusted and my stumach turned when seeing the video from people cheering and partying on the streets, selebrating their "victory"
obviously those people haven't seen the events with their own eyes, or otherwise you wouldn't celebrate anything...that's just sick!

I still find it very hard to swallow, because this whole crash looks like special effect from a movie.....it's like we're used to it
but unfortunatly it's very much real

but here are hopefully some positive thoughts:

I've just heard that there wasn't a country responsible for the attack, but a group
Pakistan has promised to help America in any way needed to find the people responsible for the horrible event
Looks like the thought of another world war is slowly fading away...

Heartfelt condolances, when I heard about the horrible crash I just can't think of someone is capable of doing such thing in the name of a religion. This is what I called insanely sickening. I have a relative in NY and she was at that very place watching those terrible incident from afar, she told me about seeing a big shadow while she closed her eyes when the plane violently hit the tower(she is close to her spiritual side of being a Buddhist). Then I checked the news to make sure what happened and it's just.... argh! Cannot tell what I have supposed to say.

I checked this forums to see if everyone's OK, I also heard rumors about this will happen in England and Canada. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!! There's no people who wanted to repeat the same tragedy twice! I will pray for everyone in England,Canada, and the world, May God be with you and encourage your spirit. Amen
