I'm looking at it right now (we can see the WTC from our office) and it looks like a second plane just hit the second tower (we just saw it happen). I can't confirm it but it's absolutely crazy...

This was no accident. No way.

All trading has been postponed 'indefinately' on Wall Street.

WooHoo!!!!!

First dramatarded comment?

my greatest fear is how our government is going to respond. more erosion of freedom in the name of security. mark my words.

a close friend offers the following piece of advice to unix geeks around the world on this tragic, tragic day: rm -rf /bin/laden. In other news, Capitalism Magazine's coverage is available here. My condolances go out to all who are affected by this vicious attack on all that is good and decent.

It's over for Osama.

DON'T DRINK TAP WATER. My mother who is CEO of a hospital in upstate new york just got a biological warfare warning from the CDC. She told me not to drink bottled water (personally I was heading for the vodka figuring the alcohol would kill any microbes). The radio just mentioned that biological warfare has been suspected although there is no evidence. The only disease they have specifically named is anthrax, but still, better be careful. - miss-lapin
