Anyone Staying Out Of NYC on 9/11/2002?

Anyone else besides me worried a bit about a 9/11 anniversary attack this year?

I would like to go into the city for the memorials, but I do worry...........

Highly doubt those bastards would do anything on the anniversary. Most likely will do it on a day we're least expecting.

Which bastards? I still have to see the evidence that Bush and Blair said they had. I mean who did it is a bastard, but who was it?

19 Muslim fanatics, all from Saudi Arabia, backed by about $1 million and pilot training.

There was a Con Edison transformer fire a few weeks ago. Three fighter jets zoomed through the sky as it was happening. NYC is under constant surveillence. Don't think there will be a repeat.

I truly hope for your sake that you're not half as stupid as you appear.

British Air will not be flying to the US on that day.There were hardly any people wanting to fly,so they cut the flights out for 9/11.
We will be here though,going to a couple of memorials for friends.
Being glad that the US is still pretty damn safe compared to a lot of other places in this world.

I don't know Jack - there's a lot of people who do have to go to work and I believe they'll all be there.

Same thing here in D C - we'll all be the Pentegon - We learned a hard, painful lesson - we ARE vulnerable. But should this make us scared, and frightened? I hope not - it should make us all a lot more observant of what's happening around you.

Just a small note, but have any of you considered that the Muslim calendar is lunar? The anniversary of Sept. 11 2001 on the Hijri calendar is actually September 1, 2002, the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.

British Airways has not cancelled all flight in/out of JFK and EWR on 9/11.
There are at least 6 flights into and 6 flights out of JFK and EWR to Heathrow.
They cut a couple of flights due to demand, that's all.
Geez.

Some of these people need to go back to high school debating class.

They say there's no real "evidence" that points the finger at the 9/11 hijackers, and that the rest of us are just sheep who'll beleive anything we hear.

The hole in their "logic": They never define what, for them, would be sufficient "evidence." So their criteria can never be met.

If Osama bin Laden himself walked up to one of these idiots and said, "I did it," they'd say, "Oh, that's not bin Laden. It's an imposter."

And, no, I'm not staying out of MYC on 9/11. Screw them.

I am a New Yorker who had a very interesting conversation with a Pakistani limo driver last night...He and most of his friends/family sincerly believe that 9/11 was carried out by Jews who were upset that Gore/Lieberman lost the election and wanted to make Bush look bad...Shows you how sick and twisted this world can be.

Oh my God, ANON, that's absolutely incredible that anyone could believe such rubbish. Reminds me of the Holocaust deniers, it's the same delusional mentality. Scary and sad.

I'm more worried about being bombarded by the media than by terrorists. I'm so SICK of seeing the images of the WTC every day. I don't WANT to be forced to relive these memories when they are still so fresh.

If I'm not on a free Spirit Airlines trip on that day, I'll be here in NYC, at work with everyone else.

I'm with you suzanne.
Unfortunately, Spirit's website has been overwhelmed all day
I'll be here at work and a very sad and proud NYER.
