4th plane was shot down by USAAF to prevent further damage... tgt was Camp David I believe - I surely don't want to be the pilot who was ordered to shoot at his own countrymen...

I guess this was the primary goal of this amazinhunks, to make you feel exposed.

We have growth believing a big army will solve any problem and defeat any menace, how sadly wrong we were.

Our big armies will serve the purpose of revenge, killing more people (in the most part as innocent as our deaths), and giving more volunteers for the next strike.

This world is crazy.

Just want to express my sincerest sympathy to all involved in yesterdays tragedy, and to the people of the US who must be un-imaginably traumatised by these horrific events. From what I know about the US and its people, I feel sure that you will put this behind you and be stronger as a consequence. All right thinking people stand behind you and the perpetrators of this evil will find that they cannot and will not be allowed to get away with this.

If it's true, he's one of many heros that will emerge from such a blackened mess.

There was also some speculation of pilot intervention with the aircraft that hit the Pentagon, since the impact was the helipad area instead of the center courtyard. Guess only time and the black boxes will tell for sure.

Kirin where'd you hear that the USAF shot down the 4th bird in PA? I haven't heard that yet.

I'll bet when they review the flight recorder, the following might be found:

We know that 2 of the four planes they herded passengers to the rear of the aircraft. I'm guessing in that 4th flight, that some passengers held at knife point over powered the terrorists in the back of the plane, then charged the cabin door, once the terrorist pilot knew for certain that control would be taken away from him, he probably augered the plane.

Actually I just heard that the 4th plane was shot down.

That rumor has been dispelled by the US Gov't, Swoop. But we'll know more soon enough, they are currently examining the black box they recovered.

I just heard a senior military person say that the black box is the last thing on their on their mind, recovering survivors, bodies, and putting out flames is priority #1.

he's talking about the black box on the 4th plane. the black boxes of the first 3 planes will be looked for after all rescue attemps are concluded.

Yes, I'm speaking of the Pennsylvania crash.

stock market MAY be open by Friday...very bad news guys..even when/if they open it don't look good for immediate trading...this could be the straw which spins us into a severe recession .. this would be the victory the a-hole terrorists were really shooting for...

Eagler, nothing we cannot overcome, not only as a nation, but as a world. 1929 was the true test...and since then there have been measures placed within the financial world to withstand that kind of market dump. Yep, financial sitution is gonna be bleak at best. We've done it before(withstood hard times), we will do it again. The Euro market was slightly up last I checked, with even a stable dollar..the Asian market was down, but a spike in the market is normal with times like these. Unprecedented, certainly.

Relatives of a passenger on the plane that crashed in rural Pennsylvania said he related during a phone call that men on board voted to try to overpower the three hijackers. Shortly after that call, the plane went down, as it appeared headed for Washington.

also about the "we shot the plane down" rumors... that started by reports of a man that locked himself in the restroom and used a cell phone to call 911 and report the hijacking..... apparently he was on the phone for quite a while, he then said "I just saw a puff of smoke of the wing", then right after that he said they were going down..... I'm not saying the call wasn't made, but how did he see all that from the restroom?
