Quote:News reports today, and what I saw on CNN at lunch mere minutes from the time of impact, indicate that a private pilot (allegedly NY Yankees pitcher Corey Liddle) flew into an apartment building on east 72d street, Manhattan, NY.Do you think he might have been in cahoots with Michael Curtis Reynolds ( See Story ).
NORAD scrambled fighters. President was notified. News all over the place with 'is it a terrorist attack' in the first few minutes as events and first reports came in. Disinformation flew fast and furious.
Osama wins again, and he didn't even have to do anything. The first reaction was . . . if one were to believe the breathless reporters . . . panic.
From what I saw on TV, NYFD seemed to be getting on with it and trying to fight a 4 alarm blaze. Good on 'em.
