First, my sympathies and prayers go out to everyone affected by this, directly or indirectly. There is no way I can come close to feeling the pain of the families who have lost a loved one. May you recover a stronger person for having loved the ones you lost.
Second, we need to remeber someone willing to use this many innocent lives in such a horrendous way will not hesitate to hide behind more innocent lives to protect themselves. There has been enough pain and suffering already. Wisdom in vengance will get us further than brute force.
Third, may we become stronger as a country, as families, as friends and as individuals by holding each other closer to our hearts and not allowing this to break us.
We will recover.

Horrifying Terrorist Attacks on the U.S.
This is not game news, but is more important. I am putting this up here because many people are trying to figure out what is going on and this way we can share what we know. Here's what I know so far:
- At about 8:45 a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Center towers. 14 minutes later, andther plane crashed into the second tower.
- Another plane crashed into the Pentagon soon after that.
- A bomb went off at the State Department.
- Both World Trade Center Towers have now completely collapsed, presumably killing everyone who was unable to evacuate in time, and also the firemen and police who were at the towers trying to help people evacuate.
- Another plane has gone down somewhere in Western Pennsylvania. Possibly just a coincidence or possibly an attempt to hyjack it to another target.
Words cannot express the horror.
