Can't watch this at work...

(just to clarify, because it still upsets me, even 16 years later, not that I was unable to watch it due to it being blocked at work)
In conclusion, I can leave you with no better advice than that given after every sermon by Msgr Vincent Giammarino, who was pastor of St Michael's Church in Atlantic City in the 1950s:

    "My dear good people: Do what you have to do, When you're supposed to do it, The best way you can do it,   For the Love of God. Amen"

Chestertonian

I still remember the dusty haze over the river and the smrll of chemicals and the eerie quiet throughout the city
"I am not much of a Crusader, that is for sure, but at least I am not a Mohamedist!"

9/11 wasn't the first time we saw the use of transportation to terrorize and kill.  We didn't back down then nor should we back down now.

Réquiem æternam dona ei, Dómine.     
R. Et lux perpétua lúceat ei.     

Requiéscat in pace.
R. Amen.     

Anima eius, et ánimæ ómnium fidélium defunctórum,
per misericórdiam Dei requiéscant in pace.
R. Amen.

Never forfotten, never forgiven, but being a conspirorist, maybe the object of my non- forgiveness is different from yours, Red.

Read an interesting article about the so-called "jumpers."

http://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a48031/the-falling-man-tom-junod/

I can't, personally, view it the way I would more ordinary "suicides."  After all, how can jumping away from a fire caused by murdering terrorists truly be suicide?  And many of them grabbed any fabric they could as makeshift parachutes -- it didn't work, but surely a sign of wanting to live, however slim the chance (and the chance for those who stayed above the point of impact was nil, especially in the North tower -- a VERY small number were able to get out above the point of impact in the South tower).

No it was not.

If he had threatened to have the horse bowl them over, with the horse heading  their way, that picture would have qualified as accurate.

I amended my post and apologize to everyone for any confusion I may have caused.  Kaese is right, in that this wasn't the first time transportation was used to terrorize and kill.  My thought with McVeigh was that it was the explosives that did the damage and left people dead, but on 9/11, the actual plane itself was used for the main part of the damage. 

I've got to get out of the hair splitting business.   :popcorn: :beer: 8)
