It's easy to criticise those responsible for security.

Who, in their wildest dreams, could predict such a catastrophe?

After all, these planes were on internal flights, and probably didn't deviate from their normal flight paths until it was too late to react.

It has happened. We can't change that. Blaming anyone other than those sick people who actually carried out the attacks will achieve nothing.

Here in the UK we have had to put up with the actions of mindless terrorists for over thirty years - a small minority of senseless 'religious' fanatics with no regard whatsoever for human life.

I'm watching the news on TV in total disbelief - a Hollywood 'blockbuster' with this as its plot would be dismissed as 'too fantastic' to be believable.

Truth is certainly stranger than fiction...

My thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this atrocity.
