Thanks for that.
Watching the whole thing unfold from half way around the world (Perth Western Australia) from the first tentative reports to the second aircraft into the WTC and beyond, I was amazed (and relieved) at just how quickly you guys got your act together locking the place down in the initial confusion, bugs or not.
I suspect that they were not the only targets.
Whether the scumbags intended for the towers to collapse may or may not ever be known.
But it seems the fact that they did, raised the stakes beyond any doubt.
It is comforting to know that there are such plans in place and lets those who would be labelled "paranoid war mongers" for their foresight by the more flaky of the worlds population, be seen for the very wise people that they are.
I might not agree with everything your country does, any more than your country does with ours, but that is the nature of true and fast friends who share common values.
Whilst it was your countrymen who bore the brunt, the number of other nationalities with people at ground zero is truly astonishing.
From my little home town population of around 1 million, I have at least 3 Oz friends and my children about a half dozen between them who were either there or close by, safe by the grace of God. I wait, hopefully, for news of of some US friends but do not expect any good news soon.
I wonder if the scumbags realised or understood that they were not going to just draw the US out, but the whole world by the international nature of NY and in particular the WTC.
I doubt there is any corner of the earth now that did not have someone from their community directly affected.
Six degrees of separation?
Nah for this one, lets say only One!
Trite maybe but for them chillingly true, "They might be able to run but there will now be nowhere to hide"
