IT IS NOW KNOWN THAT FBI AGENTS SEIZED VIDEO TAPE FROM A SHERATON HOTEL ABOUT 300 FEET FROM THE BRIDGE THAT APPARENTLY WAS POINTED DIRECTLY TOWARDS THE BRIDGE. EMPLOYEES OF THE HOTEL INITIALLY SAID THEY SAW AN EXPLOSION ON ONE OF THE BRIDGE TRUSSES WHILE VIEWING THE VIDEO TAPE, AND THEN MOMENTS LATER THE BRIDGE COLLAPSED. THEY HAVE SINCE CHANGED THEIR STORY AND THE FBI WILL NOT COMMENT ON THE VIDEO TAPE.

He is an 84 year old whom I met the other day.
He introduced himself, told me about his life in Hitlers Youth army, showed me his scrap book, photo's from the war.
He was captured in France.
How would you have reacted?
I am 0zzy, my family is British, i't's hard not to have a bit of resentment. My Grandad was Bayonetted by a German Soldier. He shook Hitlers hand and was very proud of it.

Is it me or are they dragging there asses at the bridge collapse? The pictures look the same the amount of people dead are the same and the reporters are still asking the same dumb questions. A reporter from CNN asked a surviver who clearly was dazed over, "why do you think you survived?" I had my Wheaties today! Stupid Stupid Stupid. The President stands feet from the scene I'll do this and we'll do that... Bull!! Why aren't there barges with cranes removeing all the debris. I'll bet my left n t that there were people alive. It really is scary. I live in Boston and the bridges and highways are one big rust ball. Even our new stuff is fallen apart. I just have a vision of people floating in there cars. I'm scared to go anywhere. New York streets collapse below you, Boston tunnels fall on top of you, step on a manhole cover and get electrocuted. This is way more than simple paranoria. What do you think?

Since stuff about OJ is in the news again this week, I will ask this for you forensic pros.......we all know the famous "If the glove won't fit, you must acquit!" used by Johnnie Cochran. Why did the prosecution/lawyers not use an identical brand and size glove to test it for themselves. Everyone knows that leather changes shape/size once it is dampened whether by water or blood. So the glove got damp and shrank. Use a similar glove of original size.

Why didn't the lawyers do that? If they had done that with the identical new glove...it would have been case closed! Any thoughts???

I live 30 minutes SE of the bridge location, and it seems like considering the handful of lives that were lost, that a lot of money and attention is being thrown at this, from the media and the federal government. Besides being a huge local traffic hassle, I don't see how this is a bigger deal than Hurricane Katrina, or the countless other bridge collapses in American history, or the countless lives that have been lost for numerous other reasons. Is $300 million federal dollars really needed to reroute traffic and reconstruct a single bridge in this midwestern battleground, gop convention-hosting state?

Aside from your brother's, friend's, uncle's 1st grade teacher who just escaped the towers...has the threat had any specific affect on you. What exactly are you afraid of when it comes to this threat and what is your response to the threat?

"ORGANISERS hope an official day of celebration for Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin will become a public holiday.

The first annual Steve Irwin Day, on November 15, will attract the interest of millions of people worldwide.

Irwin family spokesman John Stainton encouraged all Australians to take a day off for Steve and do something in his memory."

At the risk of alienating everyone on here since I know speaking ill of Steve Irwin is punishable by death to a lot of people (ok slight exaggeration) but a call for a public holiday for Steve Irwin?

Get real, I don't really mind the guy, but all he did was torment animals to get a reaction out of them so he could run around saying 'Crikey! He's an angry fella!'

Besides being Australian myself I know the real reason is just another excuse to get a day off work because we are a lazy bunch of bastards! lol.

When American celebrities like Danny Glover, Sean Penn, and other travel to Venezuala and fraternize with Hugo Chavez, are they or are they not commiting treason against this country. Treason is defined as follows: " a citizen's actions to help a foreign government overthrow, make war against, or seriously injure the parent nation." Wether they agree with the current administration are not this is certainly an attempt to seriously injure the United States. What say you like minded liberals out there.

It annoys me on here, some people are so horrible and nasty yet they are always the ones who wont allow IM or emails.
If they can not say anything nice then they should keep there mouths shut especially if they not prepared to take as good as they give.
