Post Getting tired of the WTC scapegoat

Without undermining the seriousness of the event itself, the global economy was already in a decline prior to Sept 11th. I was surprised how prompt statements were made to the effect that the event had had a severe effect on airlines business, but passenger figures and the nett effect were released in hours. The longer term view is that people are returning to the airlines, certainly many of my recent flights are as full as they were prior to 9/11, but now the news is telling us Polariod have folded QUOTE: market conditions have become bleaker following the 11 September terrorist attacks, forcing Polaroid to admit defeat

I'm sorry, Polaroid have gone because of the arrival of digital cameras. Will corporations please stand up and admit their own mistakes instead of using this tragedy as an excuse?

We could start with my own employers taking note ..
