<surlly> Maeks a difference to me
<pilgrim`> g800 to the Americans yes
<g800> why
<Twobar> 'nigerian' wont trip the bot
<surlly> Caus it mighte be someone I know
<^rcane> hi
<pilgrim`> well were I american and changed my mind and did not board I would not be dead.
<g800> yeah right, what are the chances of that
<Hiddekel> rams` is banned (Requested by KoooK - Reason: pickle said BAN ON SIGHT so... )
<Lupine> g800: for the same reason that if there is a house fire in Nevada, I couldn't care less. but if it is next door, hell yea I want to hear about it.
<pilgrim`> that would be somewhat important...to me
<DStewart> There we go.
<surlly> Theres a chance. I knew a guy killed on 911
<g800> not the same
<Lupine> Ah, okay. that makes sense :-)
<KoooK> hidde is a bit slow
<pilgrim`> surlly I did know 2
<g800> know anybody flying to nigeria?
<pilgrim`> one was a computer op in Building 7
<Lupine> surlly: my best man at my wedding was killed. Well, he died just ~6months ago, but due to injuries sustained in it
<pilgrim`> the other was on a plane
<Twobar> by the way, if we're going to ban rams, we need to ban him in the other form...
<DStewart> Syria's Foreign Ministry adviser on Saturday said his country was an easy target for U.N. investigators examining who was behind the ******ination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri. Speaking at a news conference Saturday to refute a U.N. report on Hariri's killing, Riyad Dawoodi said just because Syria had a strong military presence in Lebanon did not mean it was involved in the former prime minister's ******ination.
<DStewart> "There's a presumption taken by the (U.N.) commission that the very presence of Syrian troops and the Syrian security organs in Lebanon is something which should imply so and so and so," said Dawoodi, speaking in English. "You cannot put any weight on the idea (that) because you are present in Lebanon, everything happening in Lebanon ... should be done according to your knowledge and you know about it," Dawoodi said.
<surlly> I knew a guy that died on the flight that crased in PA
<Twobar> oh he left
<Swigert> surlly: Flight 93?
<DStewart> Nice job: Response for the gullible. The report didn't use any such reasoning. It actually adduced evidence, not ***ociation.
<surlly> I hadnt seen him in years. I watched a special on TV about it and saw his name and picture at the end of the show
<surlly> Seigert
<Lupine> He was one of the very last people to make it out of the tower before it collapsed. Literally was running out the lobby door when it came down. Was hit by falling debris, and pinned for ~6 hours.
<surlly> Yea
<Swigert> surlly: heroes
<surlly> Maybe
<surlly> I know this. He almost certainly was in 1st cl***
<pilgrim`> surlly weird ain't it. Guy I knoew ont he plane was prez of a start-up. I knew him professionally and only a little
<surlly> So god knows what happened to him
<pilgrim`> the start-up colapsed and another guy in it I know went to another company
<Swigert> surlly: he died prematurely at the hands of cold-blooded terrorists who thought it would help their insane cause
<DStewart> The hijack tactic lasted about 45 minutes.
<Kaliuna> so it seems
<surlly> http://www.post-gazette.com/headlines/20011028flt93delucabiop8.asp
<surlly> That's the guy I knew
<pilgrim`> surlly wow
<surlly> Like I say, I hadnt seen him in almost 20 years
<Swigert> surlly: my mentor had a colleague whose two sons were in the WTC that day. One was called out of the office at 8am, and lived. The other, well you know.
<pilgrim`> did Morgans? taste
<gopp> what new
<FozzyB> your mentor?
<Swigert> I keep thinking what was going through the minds of those fearless firefighters as they charged up while others ran out
<Swigert> fozzyb: grad school
<surlly> I dont mean to take away anything from the firefighters, but I dont think anyone expected the first tower to collapse like that
<Lupine> Hey Gopp: guess what?
<pilgrim`> there is a simple way to end it. but the nerve to do what it would take, died with a particular tribal hetman of the steppes long ago.
<^rcane> Swigert: I know exactly what was going through there minds
<Rockfish> Surlly, by that time everyone knew it was going to collapse, it was just a matter of when
<Swigert> surlly: engineers were amazed it didn't fall over immediately
<Swigert> rcane: and that was?
<^rcane> Swigert: "****, i hope they catch those bastards, hope I paid up my life insurance in full"
<tnzr> Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right there, in the room, talking to you, which is why I don't like to read good books.
<Swigert> rcane: that's insulting
<^rcane> Swigert: they knew they were going to die
<^rcane> Swigert: it is not insulting
<CryArvach> hrmmm...
<^rcane> Swigert
<^rcane> they knew that they were most likely going to die
<Kaliuna> hmmmmmmm sighhhhhhhh
<Rockfish> I suspect the majority of their minds was focused on the job, with a little bit of hope that they wouldn't be hurt
<Swigert> rcane: part of the job
<Swigert> rock: firefighting is still a very dangerous job - they know the risks
<^rcane> Swigert: does not mean they do not think about it
<pilgrim`> I do not believe in justice. only oen word describes what is needful here:
<^rcane> Swigert: and rescuing people from a 100 story building is not "part of the job" as usual
<pilgrim`> vendetta
<FozzyB> You don't even need to have a dangerous job to think about death, daily.
<Swigert> but 343 of the bravest men of NY's Bravest died that day - and 23 NYPD, 37 Port Authority and 11 other law enforcement died that day
<Swigert> rcane: seldom happens anyway
<Rockfish> I don't know that they knew they were going to die, I'm sure they recognized the possibility but nobody knew when the towers would fall
<Kaliuna> and a lot of civilians as well
<CryArvach> Wilma...shmilma....**ywn
<Swigert> kali: still can't get that image of people jumping out of my mind
<Lupine> Did they recover all of the firemen?
<Swigert> lupine: not all
<^rcane> Swigert: yea, they knew that a 100 story building was going to implode upon itself when they became firemen
<Kaliuna> swiggy -- I know...
<Lupine> Cry: Looks like you'll have a great seat for wilma.. of course, looks like barely a cat 2
<CryArvach> Lupine...they may need looter control in Cancun!!!
<Kaliuna> but can we talk about something ELSE??
<FozzyB> Burn me alive...I hate heights
<pilgrim`> I hate tall buildings; always have
<Kaliuna> Cry - seems so...
<Swigert> kali: a Marine went up to his general and said "It'll be a hell of a war, sir. They want to die, and we want to kill them"
<redfish> i hate short buildings
<CryArvach> Lupine..as i say.... **yawn...
<Rockfish> I remember when the FD priest died of a heart attack that day, it was just like rubbing salt in the wounds
<Swigert> i've been to the WTC, Empire State and Sears Tower
<CryArvach> mmmmm :P~~ breaded fish!
<Lupine> Cry: eh? they ALWAYS have that there :-)
<Swigert> rockfish: he was hit by debris
<redfish> cryarvach soaked in lye
<redfish> not breaded
<Lupine> Cry: egg Wilma on, so it'll go up and destroy Boston
<Lupine> take out Kerry and Kennedy
<Katey> Crylutfisk!
<CryArvach> Lupine..they are one wasted place now though
<Kaliuna> Cry - speaking of fish -- you see that article about dead fish in some pond in DC -- a pond that HAS no fish --
<Rockfish> I thought it was a heart attack, it's been four years, I'm kicking myself for not remembering his name
<Kaliuna> Cry - they wonder where the fish came from and why they died...
<KoooK> redfish did you get all worms out of your throat? and the eggs, remember the eggs they lay
<CryArvach> :P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Breaded WOMAN!!!!
<Swigert> rockfish: Father Mychael Judge
<tnzr> wireless question: is there any scenario where 802.11a would come in handy? (maybe a situation where 802.11b/g arent practical/available?)
<redfish> koook i never had zombie worms if thats what yre talking about
<Kaliuna> CRY! sheeeehskabob
<Swigert> imagine being on one of those FDNY trucks racing to the rescue, only for it to be a one-way trip
<CryArvach> :P~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ D-Licious~~~~~!!!!
<CryArvach> Katey..only Duffster gets rolled into traffic
<gopp> hi
<Kaliuna> is KOOK still here -- they got bird flu in Sweden
<Rockfish> Every time one of those trucks rolls it could be a one way trip
<Kaliuna> ehh now duffy is at work tonight...
<KoooK> Kaliuna, some kind of flu yes
<CryArvach> What did the blonde say in the US when Bird Flu was reported in Sweden.....Well, it can't hurt us...we are american!
<Kaliuna> KoooK -- just read about it -- dead bird - some kind of flu ya
<Kaliuna> Sox beat Astros 5-3
<Rockfish> Final Score Chicago 5 Houston 3
<pilgrim`> I was reminded what all our brave men are fighting for today.... I got my property tax bill
<Swigert> rockfish: I imagine a captain speaking to his men: "Guys, this could be it." One FF says "Follow you anywhere, cap". The rest agree.
<CryArvach> Yearghhhh!!!!!
<Swigert> YES!
<redfish> grippe aviaire?
<Swigert> I still liked how the Yankees and Mets wore FDNY and NYPD caps after
<Kaliuna> pilgrim don't remind me -- should get ours soon too
<Rockfish> And PAPD
<^rcane> just because a bird has the flu does not mean it will transmit to humans
<pilgrim`> Kali sorry ;)
<Swigert> rockfish: and EMS
<CometBaby> If any HOPs see this .. when Timur comes in .. give him voice please :)
<pilgrim`> it always brings out the best in me ;)
