Terrible

I read the article this morning.....terrible.

So very sad... Nuke these bast%%ds...

Madeline Sweeney, R.I.P.

"A hijacker also cut the throat of a business-class passenger, and he appears to be dead," she said.

Perhaps we have another heroic passenger who tried to intervene, in addition to those on the flight that crashed in Pa.

Could be. Why would they slash his throat unless he tried to protect the pilot or maybe the stewardess. HOW SAD! Just looked out the window and its pouring rain here in New York City - those poor firemen and rescue workers!

Everyday, new stories to curdle my blood.And I don't like being drawn to them like a gawker at a car crash, frankly.How very sad for that woman, and her young children.

And what are liberals in American concerned about? Anti-Arab, anti-Islamic sentiment;isolated cases of violence, the perpetrators of which will feel the full force of law. We don't have to just crush those who destroyed the WTC, we have to crush certain Americans too.

Has anyone considered the use of attack trained dogs on the airlines? Does anyone have ideas as to the feasibility or downside to the use of dogs?

Trusting that you mean "crush" ideologically in the second occurrence, I'm with you; you nailed it. Incredible, all this carnage, and they're concerned if someone draws a bad guy who happens to look like what the terrorists looked like.

What a pointless needless loss of life.

Expose, mock and let everyone in the country know what they are. Many say these are just a whacked out few. They are not. They are the ones who control our Universities, they are in every left wing group under the sun. Underestimating the damage they can do would be a disaster. They need to be hit and hit hard. I hope these stories about Jennings's affairs with Palestinian women are coming right out of his FBI, CIA and NSA file.

Bump for later reading

Perhaps we have another heroic passenger who tried to intervene, in addition to those on the flight that crashed in Pa.

I'm sure there are many we'll never know about.Did you see the Time magazine with the path of Fl.93?

Flew right over Weirton. Last words out of my husbands mouth that morning before he left for the Fed bldg in Pittsburgh was "we're safe here in Pittsburgh", as I pleaded for him to avoid that bldg and the tunnel........

Yes, I heard it went right over Hancock County. Don't you wonder if somebody in Weirton or New Cumberland just happened to look up that morning and saw it, wondering why it seemed low or on a wandering course?

After NYC and D.C., there could be no rhyme or reason to the next city selected for a terrorist attack, and how could we predict it? Pgh's skyline - especially with PPG and the USX buildings - might be an inviting target, although I fear the next attack may be chemical. I'm starting to appreciate what the relatives in Ogulin, Croatia went through in 1995 when their home was bombed!

From today's (9/20/01) Washington Times:

Inside the Beltway -- Worth Repeating

Over the airplane's public-address system came a most incredible announcement from the captain of United Flight 564 as it was about to pull out of the gate at Denver International Airport last Saturday, writes Peter Hannaford, a public affairs consultant in Washington and former advisor to President Reagan.

"I want to thank you brave folks for coming out today," the pilot began. "We don't have any new instructions from the federal government, so from now on, we're on our own."

The passengers listened in total silence.

"Sometimes a potential hi-jacker will announce that he has a bomb. There are no bombs on this aircraft and if someone were to get up and make that claim, don't believe him. If someone were to stand up, brandish a knife, and say, 'This is a hijacking' or words to that effect, here is what you should do:

"Everyone of you should stand up immediately and throw things at that person -- pillows, books, magazines, eyeglasses, shoes -- anythjing that will throw him off balance and distract his attention. If he has a confederate or two, do the same with them. Most important: get a blanket over them, then wrestle him to the floor and keep him there. We'll land the plane at the nearest airport and the authorities will take it from there.

"Remember, there will be one of him and maybe a few confederates, but there are 200 of you....Now since we're a family for the next few hours, I'll ask each of you to turn to the person next to you, introduce yourself, tell a little about yourself and ask them to do the same."

The end of this remarkable speech, Mr. Hannaford says, brought sustained clapping from the passengers."

That's obviously her wedding picture. God Bless her and her family. She is an American Hero.
