On the Spanish >speaking channel, did you see the couple hold hands and jump? Yes, I noticed the Spanish stations had much better (for lack of a better term) video than the English stations...the Spanish stations showed much more graphic video. Even though I don't understand Spanish, I periodically tuned into the 2 Spanish stations my cable system carries, just to watch their videos, both live and taped... >think CNN has that on their website.

Well, having been subjected to more than a few fire drills from a high-rise office building, I can tell you that the last thing you want to be wearing if you want to evacuate quickly via a stairwell is a pair of highheels. I was caught unawares during one of these drills, as I had an important meeting first thing in the morning which required that I be in full office dress, meaning I had to switch from the walking shoes I usually wore to high heels that I kept in the office just for those types of meetings. The meeting hadn't even started yet when the alarm went off...I was on the top floor of a 23-story building, and wasn't allowed to quickly duck back to my office to get my flat-soled shoes... Because I knew if was a drill, and because I was coming from the top floor so I didn't have gobs of people behind me, I just took my time going down. But if it was a real emergency I would have just chucked off those damn highheels and run down the stairs in my stocking feet... >But knowing all about a terrorist organization will not stop a >suicide bomber, something that is known to be almost impossible. Generally, yes. But in this case the pilots seem to have had extensive training on flight simulators, so one has to question how they were able to achieve such training, and why the intelligence community dropped the ball on either finding out about this beforehand, or in alerting the populace to avert the tragedy from occuring... >What steps our legislature takes as a result of this will certainly >be interesting and deserving of our close scrutiny. Well Mizz Hillary was interviewed by WCBS-TV out of NYC this morning, and she had a long laundry list of intensified security measures which she said would 'have' to be instituted to keep this from happening again...in a nutshell, she wants to totally throw out the Constitution and Bill of Rights, but is that any surprise? :-( >Has anybody heard an informed speculation of the total? I would >not be at all surprised if it goes as high as 15,000 or even >higher. Will the real total be suppressed to prevent the perps >from feeling such success? I think it would be hard to totally suppress the figures...right now it's hard, because the WTC was so huge, it had such a huge workforce in it, it's going to be hard to find out who's dead. It was very sad last night, WCBS was showing people who had come in from the suburbs to look for loved ones who worked at the WTC. They all had pictures of the missing loved ones, a couple of people had even made up posters to put up that showed a picture of the loved one, stated where they had worked in the WTC, and giving a number to call if anyone had any information on their whereabouts. One woman was looking for her sister, who was attending a conference being held at the top of the first tower to be hit; she said that her sister had called their mother on her cellphone immediately afterwards to let the mother know that she was alright and that they were starting to evacuate and that she would call back once she got out of the building...but they never heard from her again. One has to wonder if she was one of the people who heeded the advice (command?) of the mysterious 'someone' (who in fact may be more than one person) who other eyewitnesses who got out said was stopping people from evacuating and telling them to stay put. I've heard two separate accounts on WCBS now from people who decided to ignore this advice/command and continued evacuating, and that is why they are alive today... >And though saddened that I am, I do not blame the ones dancing in >the streets for they do not have full news coverage and were not >seeing what was done. So many were little kids and old women who >only see it as the supplier of their oppressor being damaged. I think they'd dance even if they had the full facts; their attitude is one of 'our children and women and old people and other civilians have been killed for decades, why should it be any different for the U.S.?'
