Okay, so I thought approximately 11:30pm AEST was a dream. I was working on my Literature Review which I still have not finished and my Dad kept calling me to watch the news. After several requests I gave in and went upstairs to see the WTC buildings with smoke pouring out of them. This totally had to be a dream. Then the most unbelievable thing happened, I saw _live on tv Tower 2 crumble to the ground. I think my heart stopped a few seconds, and soon after Tower 1.
I remember my high school principal once said, the worst terrorist is the one that is willing to take his own life. When you have people believing that the more christians they take with them the higher you go in heaven then you have deranged lunatics and a recipe for disaster.
I think (without pointing the finger but let's be serious, this wasn't the work of boyscouts) parts of the Middle East in the next few weeks will be the world's largest sheets of glass.
On random side note, the linux kernel mailing list has had limited posts since this happened. I find it hard to do any work now, this is something we will be telling our grandchildren about and the events that are about to follow.
