Winston that was a very insensitive and callous post. Whatever the politics of it this is not the time and the place.

I think LCY may be closed now, the skies here in South London are eerily quiet tonight. Today the biggest story was going to be the Concorde test flight. I remember what a shocking event that the Concorde crash was at the time. Today's events were a thousand times more shocking, I still can't believe what I have seen.

This was an act of war. It is significant that all the flights involved were internal - surely targetted because of the relaxed security.

As for the perpetrators, well it's likely to be the Saudi dissident in Afghanistan, but what about Saddam? He could be behind this, and have been planning it for years as a revenge for the Gulf War.

My thoughts and prayers to all affected by this terrible human catastrophe, the like of which we have never seen.
