glad Britain is supporting the US, maybe they'll stop sending money to the IRA now

Chewing Wax:
I don't think that's official U.S. policy to give those IRA bastards cash. It's drunken Irish Americans like Heruka who send their money.

Yes. And nylon jumpers.

Now, now. Settle.

Chewing Wax:
I think we just trumped everything in one day. Except the blitz.

Chewing Wax:
At least the IRA take responsibility for their actions.
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 12:00:12 pm)
Cushca:
Right then. This is not going to turn into a mine-is-bigger-than-yours competition. I shan't stand for it. I shan't.

Unless you want me to get the tape measure out...?

Chewing Wax:
Okay.

I posted that before I read your last post.

FAA still has everything locked down.

I want to fly somewhere. Anywhere. I just want to be up in the sky, free and American.

Responding to an earlier conversation, I do not think the folks on the pland that went down in PA deliberately took it down and here's why... They did NOT know what was going on in the world. They did not know that planes were being crashed into buildings on suicide missions. Now... historically, hijacked planes were used as leverage in negotiations between terrorists and officials. The people on that plane probably didn't think they were going to die. They probably thought that they were only going to be held hostage for a while. So since they had no idea that they were going to be sacrificed, why would they deliberately crash the plane??

Meantime, I am liquidating my entire VHS collection, several hundred videos, to generate money for food and bills. Including hte jewel in my collection's crown, the two My So-Called Life box sets, worth about $200.
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:05:43 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Except you are wrong. They had cell phones and the hijackers didn't seem to care who they called.
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:06:03 pm)
Chewing Wax:
One caller on that flight said they were going to overwhelm the pilot.
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:06:35 pm)
Queenie:
I'm trying very hard to not care about these things I am selling. After all, they're just things, right? You can't take it with you, as they say. And the truth is, I barely watch them. But geez they're nice to have, especially the My So-Called Life box sets. It's nice to have something you know is rare and valuable.
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:07:05 pm)
Queenie:
So you think the people on the plane KNEW that they were going to be crashed into a building?
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:07:30 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Yes. They were told about New York. I think they put two and two together.
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:08:24 pm)
Queenie:
The temptation is great to sell stuff I got from my grandma when she died, like her vintage Dr. Pepper sign worth several hundred. But my family would kill me. And I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:08:32 pm)
Queenie:
Who told them about New YorK/
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:08:40 pm)
Queenie:
There is a lot of military activity in the sky today over Portland. Low planes, low and loud. Loud enough to startle the shit out of me.
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:09:01 pm)
Chewing Wax:
People talking to them on the cell phones. Should I slow down and start again?
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:10:14 pm)
Queenie:
Four planes, three guys per plane, equals twelve men willing to die for the fact that they hate Americans. Where do they dig up these people? And this Bin Laden guy must be a real charmer, a real Charles Manson type.
(Wed Sep 12, 2001 - 1:10:59 pm)
Queenie:
So they called their loved ones on the cell phones and their loved ones told them about NY and DC? Possible I guess. We'll probably never know.
