Dr. Manhattan

YET ANOTHER UPDATE: Even though the Afghan responsability is yet undetermined, the American quick need for a scapegoat has sentenced that cruise missiles are now hitting Kabul. Ah, the joys of brute force.

UPDATE: The WTC has completely collapsed, as did part of the Pentagon. Another airplane has crashed on Pennsylvania, and apparentely four other hijacked planes are still on the air. There are celebrations on Islamic nations, which is another factor turning them into scapegoats. Expect missiles to start flying into Afeghanistan, Iraq etecetra this time tomorrow. I think that the men behind the attacks are not the obvious Muslims (can you say 'Timothy McVeigh'?), but America will probably learn to be careful about the people they give money and weapons to.

UPDATE: The World Trade Center tower hit by the second plane has just fell. And the Pentagon has been hit by an airplane. And there was an explosion on Capitol Hill. All airports in the USA has been closed. September 11th 2001 might be the new Pearl Harbor.

The kind of thing you thought only happens on comicbooks: It is yet undetermined if was an accident or a delibarate attack, but as I write both the World Trade Center towers in New York are burning as two (!) airplanes have colided against the twin towers, one of those a Boeing 737! The images on CNN are absolutely terrifying, it's incredible how the towers held up after the impacts. Two accidental crashes into the same landmark within 18 minutes are quite improbable not to say impossible, so maybe someone decided that a van full of explosives wasn't enough.
