    Nice try. Is there a browser that will interpret this inline?

    Nancy is OK... and it won't fail because of a stupid name.

    Just think about Bill Gates who named his company after his dick.... didnt stop him.

    Sure, the situation you describe might have been very interesting (great, people sending live-video from *within* the towers....how would that look on CNN...not good, believe me...the calls from the plane were alreaduy "too hard").

    The wireless networks would have collapsed within three minutes, having the same net effect: no video coverage at all.
