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.

    It was created by the US to fight the Soviet intervention force (slightly simplified). It is unclear who would (or could) provide similar support for taliban if US invaded afganistan.

    We are now witnessing the new theatre of war. This is how war will be fought in the 22nd century. Along with, expect to see us lose all our rights. Imagine this:

    Us: "We want privacy because..."
    Them: "Just take a look at these pictures showing the World Trade Center collapsing. This is a matter of national security"

    Let's talk about the creation of the Israeli state. Why? Who sponsored it? What justification was there for kicking the former residents out?

    I was standing between both towers on Sunday morning. I guess moving to NYC wouldn't be such a good idea.
