That's it from me for now... no fam in areas affected so I am signing off to clear the Netways of unnecessary traffic and be with family here.

Please, everyone, find someone nearby to hang onto, and don't let this numb you down completely. And breathe real, REAL deep.

Re mobile phones : Apparantly there is a facility whereby the networks can be closed down (closing any existing connections) and then re-opened to specified user groups only. Emergency workers, govt officials etc have priority user groups - and will be able to make and recieve calls (ordinary bods are something like group 6). This is probably what you mean.
As to UK : As far as I can make out all airports have been closed until further notice, Canary Wharf, the City square mile and Houses of Parliament &tc are being evacuated. All planes which left Britain & were able to turn back have been turned back & will return to Britain.
Apparantly there are still two planes lost & out of contact from United Airlines - but obviously everything is very confused & that may be a reference to planes already down.
Feeling terrible for everyone - especially our NY catters.

Osama Bin Laden announced three weeks ago that his people would launch an unprecedented attack against the United States. The rationale was retribution for the US' support of Israel.

This certainly qualifies.

It also answers Mick's question about what could drive people to so desperate a measure.

Our whole team has been told they may go home from the research base where i work if they are uncomfortable there; although I wasn't particularly uncomfortable, my BBW's concerns prevailed.

I am sorry to say that I believe an act of war, and a second day of infamy, is with us this morning. The body count may well match Pearl Harbor's, I have heard.

I cannot imagine what the scenario Bin laden's plannersa could have had in mind would be in terms of benefit to their people or their concerns. If this analysis of the source of these attacks is concerned, Bin laden himself will be buried in a bunker before a year is out. His people will not benefit and may in fact support grievous harm because of his psychotic and juvenile actions.

I am clearly making assumptions here, with very skimpy real data. It is a possible interpretation only.

Stay well, friends, stay brave, and for god's sake stay awake and rational. Striking blindly will be worse than not striking at all. This may be war, or it may not be; it is not chaos.

I'm checking in and praying and so grateful for a place to come and cry and pray- we aren't telling the kids at school, so we are unable to do more than look at each other until we can rush to the office or the teachers room- and home, as soon as possible.
May God have mercy on us all.

I'm just above the U.S. border, here in Toronto. All the TV, all the radio, all our thoughts and prayers are with you, our friends so close. So far as I know, Canada is taking flights for landing. One of my Mudcat friends here told me that his workplace here in Toronto has shut down and the board is having an emergency meeting. We wonder what our children in school know yet. Many here have friends and relatives in the attacked zones.

We send our love and support,

It's twenty years, so I think I'll bring this thread back in sight. But I'm going to close it and ask you to leave this thread intact and post on one of the crosslinked threads.
