Bank E-Communications Aid During London Bombings

davidwr writes "Reuters and eWeek report on how the British Banks' emergency chatroom and web site helped them cope with Thursday's terrorist bombing." From the article: "The Bank of England, the Treasury and the Financial Services Authority switched on a secure section of their Financial Sector Continuity Web site to talk to major banks in the City of London's financial hub about how they were coping. A Bank of England spokeswoman said this was the first time the secure site had been used in an actual crisis situation since its creation in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York."

Re:On that note...

I'm saying some of that...but mainly I don't know. What I do know is it's something far from what the mainstream media reported. There are hundreds of little details that make in very very unlikely. The hole and wreckage at the pentagon were clearly not from a 757, no other building in history have ever collapsed by fire. Some of the evasive manuveurs performed with the planes would be hard for skilled pilots, let alone guys who had just learned and were reportadly "hopeless" by their trainers. I'm saying if Al Quida did it, they had alot of help...but most likely they're just patsies.
