C. Hyde: “That was earlier, i think i heard that before i came to work. it was one of our unmanned surveillance planes (supposedly).”
Kim Hollis: “Hmmmmm...that's supposed to be classified.
*******And I so hate posting this. The south tower of the trade center has collapsed and is gone.**********”
Musubi: “Oh dear God. The world has gone fucking crazy.” - Our first West Coast staff member awakens to the horrific news
C. Hyde: “Human beings are just a nasty, vicious lot. Same as it ever was.”
Musubi: “I know, but...this is just fucking...I don't even have words. I am just filled with sadness.”
C. Hyde: “Yeah, me too. It's completely, totally insane.
The FAA has just shut down all flights nationwide.”
C. Hyde: “Damn. We're getting some reports here that one of the hijacked flights may have been out of Logan Airport, a Boston to LAX flight..
Of course, we're also in the rampant rumor phase, so.....”
Woody: “Where did you hear LAX? My mom was on an American
flight out of Logan to FLA this morning.”
Kim Hollis: “Boston is what I'm hearing, yes.
Doing much running between the newsroom and the computer.”
Lexy: “Anyone know if they've closed the courts in Manhattan? My dad is on jury duty this morning and I'm wondering how he'll get out of there. He had a bad knee and can't walk too far...subways closed...and phone service is spotty.”
Kim Hollis: “Lexy, All official-type buildings are being evacuated.
Confirmed: Three planes hijacked. Two from Boston, the third from somewhere else.
The plane that hit the Pentagon was a small commuter plane.
Again, this is all rumor, but the Boston info sounds pretty sound.”
Duke Fleed: “This is how you start a war.
This is so fucking bad.
They just anounced a car bomb outside the state department in addition to
the Trade center and the Pentagon.
Fuck, another plane has been hijacked.
Really fucking bad”
David Mumpower: “I disagree with you here. This is what you do when you aren't strong enough to start a war but want to impress your enemy.
Guerrilla warfare is the great equalizer but what hasn't been properly considered here is how bloodthirsty the American people are going to be after this.”
Ursine: “Amen to that. They have evacuated the downtown EPA offices; Mrs. U is on her way home in the train, where she reports that the trains are loaded to the gills.”
Musubi: “I'd agree with Walid, if someone were fucked in the head enough to try to start a war with the US (and you would think no one would be that stupid), this is how I would think it'd go down. Someone is going to fry for this, though. Remember the West Wing ep when the US helicopter is shot down and Bartlett wants to set up a 'disproportionate response?' I image that's how this is going to go down.”
