'LOW THUD' HEARD IN AREA OF SUPREME COURT BUILDING (FOX NEWS)

[Vermonter]

I'f rather keep this thread for just fundraising activity.

There are plenty of threads to discuss the day's tragedy. See you all later

[Gabz]

Might as well stay here - on days like this we all become that much more aware of how important FR is to us all.

[BADJOE]

Stop All Fundraisng!! This is a National Tragedy.

Pray for our Country.

.

[Mo1]

BADJOE .. I am praying ... OMG .. all those people killed

[steveegg]

Doing. May God have mercy on our souls, and may he have mercy on those of our enemies when the sword of vengeance is swung.

[BADJOE]

Words have consequences.

I pray the "Class Warfare " Tom Daschles, Jesse Jacksons , Dick Gephardts, of the extreme left, will have learned to put our people and liberty in our beloved republic FIRST.

As far as I am concerned their mollycoddling of every extreme left wing goup has brought on this terroist attack.

Talk Hell, Negotiate Hell. This s war.

[steveegg]

World War 3 has begun. I can only hope that it isn't the first throes of Armageddon, though I fear it is.

[tomkat]

ABSOLUTELY !

I WISH THERE'D BE A PLACE IN THE LINES FOR A 46yo VOLUNTEER

I move we put the fundraiser on hold while the national tragedy is unfolding.

I second that emotion.

From the Associated Press:
Grand total 266 dead on the aircraft.

–American Airlines Flight 11: A Boeing 767 en route from Boston to Los Angeles. The plane was carrying 81 passengers, nine flight attendants and two pilots. The location of the crash has not been determined.

–American Airlines Flight 77: A Boeing 757 en route from Dulles Airport near Washington to Los Angeles. The plane was carrying 58 passengers, four flight attendants and two pilots. The location of the crash has not been determined.

–United Airlines Flight 93: A Boeing 757, crashed southeast of Pittsburgh while en route from Newark, N.J. to San Francisco. The plane was carrying 38 passengers, two pilots and five flight attendants.

–United Airlines Flight 175: A Boeing 767. The flight was bound from Boston to Los Angeles. It was carrying 56 passengers, two pilots and seven flight attendants. The airline would not say where the plane crashed.

I expect that every American airport will now look and operate like an Israeli airport. Bear in mind that about 50,000 people work in the World Trade Center and this happened in the middle of an ordinary day of business. Fortunately there was about a one-hour delay between the impacts and the collapse of the towers. A lot of the people in the towers probably got out alive.

At least 266 people died on the aircraft. A total of two United aircraft and two American Airlines aircraft have crashed, and all Freepers are encouraged to pray for the families of those killed and injured. Relief efforts, particularly donations of blood, deserve our immediate support.

It is possible that the losses at Pearl Harbor will pale in comparison to this unbelievably dastardly attack. Total killed at Pearl Harbor, as I recall, were about 2,000. Over 12 times that many were working in the WTC at the time of the attack.

One of the government spokesmen pointed out that all four flights were from the East Coast to California, and that "the bastards knew they would be loaded with fuel." NBC's Tim Russert is reporting from Washington that there is "unprecedented anger" in response to this attack, but they "don't know where or how to channel it." I anticipate that we will know very soon, and that our response will be devastating.

I couldn't agree more. We have been operating at maximum bandwidth all day.
