World Trade Towers and Pentagon Attacked

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the you-can't-make-this-stuff-up dept.

The World Trade Towers in new york were crashed into by 2 planes, one on each tower, 18 minutes apart. Nobody really knows who did it, but the planes were big ones. Normally I wouldn't consider posting this on Slashdot, but I'm making an exception this time because I can't get news through any of the conventional websites, and I assume I'm not alone. Update We're having server problems. Sorry. Updated info, both towers havecollapsed, pentagon hit by 3rd plane. Part of it has collapsed.

  2. NSA and CIA SIGINT ? by jerdenn · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As an interesting aside, days like this are something that our NSA and CIA are here to prevent. They monitor communications traffic (SIGINT) and attempt to forcast terrorist like events. My question is:

    How many slashdotters will rethink their views on the necessity of CIA and NSA covert SIGINT after today's tragedy?
