I guess that about 60-70% of the toejam I post is to incite a reaction and spool up the right.

This isn't one of 'em.

He was killed by terrorists.

He was more like collateral damage I think.

yeah right, 110 story buildings just fall down on their own, everyday :rolleyes:

He was killed by terrorist committing murder - don't believe the building would have fallen and his death occurred otherwise

Post by: Ripsnort on August 14, 2002, 07:19:56 AM: Jochen,
the intent was to kill as many Americans as possible. He was another casualty that the terrorists were successful in killing. They were hoping for the buildings to fall over horizontally not vertically, as to kill many more. This was the attempt in 1993, and again in 2001. To say it was collateral is simply ignorance at its finest moment.

Post by: Fishu on August 14, 2002, 08:00:50 AM: I would agree that curiosity killed the cat.
Considering how he could have stayed few blocks away, but chose to go nearly underneath..

but like said by many war photographers, it doesn't seem so scary through the lens - until you get hit.

Post by: midnight Target on August 14, 2002, 09:39:46 PM: The reason I wrote "He was killed by terrorists." was that i felt the "curiosity" quip was a little out of line. I guess it is still a little fresh for me to be making jokes about it.

My question to Jochen would be "Who exactly weren't collateral damage?"

The folks in the building that fell? The folks on the floors above who burned? How about those poor souls who jumped? I guess the NYFD was all collateral damage too huh?

Idiotic statement if I ever heard one!

Post by: Masherbrum on August 15, 2002, 08:06:27 AM: Jochen, every person that didn't perish due to that, is collateral damage. A little piece of most humans not "directly affected" had piece of them ripped from their hearts when that happened. Yeah, I cried when they showed the funeral of the chaplin. Had some water works going too. But IMO, everyone was collateral damage.
