Subject: RE: BS: Costa Terror
Someone is going to scream at us for discussing this. But I think it is a matter of counting September 11, 2001 as "one" instead of "zero," as would be proper in my estimation. Perhaps time zones could affect it, but I don't think so. (First plane hit aprrox 9:15 a.m. EST; First bomb today was 7:39 a.m in Madrid, six hours ahead of New York?) But from September 11, 2001 to March 11, 2004, all things equal, is 912 days by my calculator.

Please don't think I mean to trivialize this tragedy a second time. Please. . . .
