Boom Boom Boom.

Sep 11, 2001
This morning it all went down. An American Airlines flight originating from Boston Mass with a full load of passengers was flown into one of the World Trade Center Towers. While video cameras from all major news stations transmitted the images of the destruction to the first tower all over the world, another plane struck the second tower. Both towers collapsed. A third commercial plane struck the outer edge of the Pentagon, penetrating all the way into the inner courtyard.

This is the largest act of terrorism on US soil. Ever.

All flights have been grounded until further notice. As of now there are still planes in the air that may also be hijacked.

Each of these planes originated from the northeast en route to the west coast. That means that they had a full load of fuel. Jet fuel goes boom. Boom boom boom.

There have been terrorist attacks on US stations in the middle east, but nobody pays much attention to those. The world trade center buildings were so huge. Everybody in NYC knows somebody who work(ed) there. These attacks hit us locally, and they hit us hard. And we will have blood for this. The American people will demand it.

Another thing to consider: The world trade center towers are the most obvious comercial/civilian target in the nation. lots and lots of human casualties. The Pentagon is the most obvious military target - not so many casualties, but extremely symbolic. Both civilian and military targets were hit.

A blurb on television suggested that the destruction today will be used as justification for the erosion of civil liberties in the name of increased intelligence capacities. Watch out for that.

Thank fucking god it wasn't Anthrax or Nukes. It easily could have been.

So I'll leave you with these question: Why? The "who?" seems to point to the middle east. I read in a magazine that the largest chunk of the US military's budget... billions of dollars goes to just paying off one of the middle eastern nations so they won't attack the other. Whose toes have we been stepping on over there? Who did we piss off? I wish I was more informed on this topic. Like so many in the US, I haven't cared enough to adequately research it. It's far, far away, after all...

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!
