Just a FYI: our Pittsburgh news station reported around 11:30pm that the Pittsburgh Islamic (church) via letter expressed their joint sorrow to the tragedy and they are supportive of US efforts to bring the perpetrators to justice. They do however ask that until the culprits are pinpointed, if news/media could refrain from speculation on who did this (as so much focus has been thwarted towards the middle east/islamic faith)until it is pinpointed who actually did orchestrate the attacks.

other side of the coin
by spider inperhaps i will be attacked for this thread, i am not sure.i am as shocked as can be by the terrorist atrosity perpetrated today.i have watched all afternoon and evening and still can't quite take it in.. i have heard the people involved described as evil cowards in the west.i accept this statement and as i have aleady stated deplore the action but i feel that the media only shows one side of the coin.. the pilots that commited suicide were certainly not cowards.they believed in their cause enough to give their lives for it.these, along with the many that orchestrated this event put a lot of time, money and sacrifice in to this.. this is the part of the story i am unclear about.this is the part which is not being explained - at least not to my feeble understanding.. why do so many of the middle eastern countries hate the west as much as they do.sure iraq has good reason but what about the others.. there are two sides to every story and as much as i hate what has happened i wonder what theirs is.why do they dance on the streets now?
america has bombed countries.in serbia to get rid of milosivich.they must have hated america then but this was out of a lack of information.. i do not believe evil exists - evil acts but not evil as an entity.it is all too easy when asked why atrosity is performed to simply answer - the person was evil.there has got to be more to it than that.
what brought about these murderous acts.was it the kind of mind control that was perpetrated on us as witnesses.after all, the witnesses would take delight in the coming armageddon when billons of people will die.. is this evidence of a similar condition?.

Radar, I'm confident on my info. It was talked about on the Pittsburgh, PA news stations though I haven't heard them say much about it on the world news. Just an FYI. I doubt it's a rumor.(incase you did want to post info elsewhere)

There is speculation on our local news based on following facts:
*Plane from Newark was headed for Erie region and made u-turn back to
east coast.
*Pittsburgh International airport had plane on radar and made contact
with no response from pilot.
*Person on cell phone called from bathroom of the plane stating it
was being hijacked.
*This was after 1st two plane crashes.
*F16's were confirmed to be flying over Pittsburgh.
*There was sufficient time for the plane to of been located and shot
down by our military. -

Lindy, that is unbelievable! we have a camp in Bedford very close to Indian lake, I was thinking of going into seclusion there and thats when I got the news of the crash. I think the news should report it if that was the case, but I can see why the wouldn't. However, anyone can see that it just doesn't make sense that 3 planes hit their targets and a 4th with minimal passengers would wreck in a field. I doubt the original pilot was flying the plane and the hijackers obviously wouldn't have this in their plan. Luckily one of the residents in that area seemed to of been hit. This day is just one of those unbelievable days. . . . .they just said the somerset local news that the plane hit a strip field and no one on the ground was injured. There is a crater were it landed and everything incinerated.
As everyone I'm so sad, the initial shock is over. Just can't help but wonder what will happen next.

Planes just a diversion... Ambulances had bombs.
by biblexaminer ini feel pretty sure about this, that the planes were just a diversion set to allow emergency vehicles easy access to the basement parking lot.
eye witnesses placed a large explosion just before the south building came down.
one thing is sure, the buildings did not come down as a result of the planes hitting them or any explosions due to that.

Hi, I'm from Greensburg, PA and I'm between Pittsburgh and Somerset County where the fourth plane hit. It's been quite a day. At work today no one worked between the stories from New York and those affecting Pittsburgh. We first heard the 2nd plane was heading for Kennametal in Latrobe, Pa but I believe that was a false rumor. They also couldn't determine if there was 45 people or 400 people on board. I don't believe they have said yet on the news but there has been speculation that the plane was heading for Camp David or the Capitol. It has also been speculated that the plane was intentionally shot down by our own government thanks to a phone call from a cell phone caller locked in the bathroom of the plane warning the plane had been hijacked. They may have been able to of trace the call and shoot the plane down before it got to it's destination. But like I said that is speculation. Our local schools dismissed early today if parents wanted to pick up the children and most businesses/colleges in the Johnstown/Somerset area and Pittsburgh area have shut down for the day. Hopefully, the worst here is over and I can't help but wonder if there were more hijackers in grounded planes that didn't get up in the air.

Hi BE!
Did you ever see the movie Arlington Road? If I'm not mistaken it was the world trade center in NY that got bombed in the end. It had a really interesting twist. The movie just reminded me alot of what happened today. -
