News is now saying the Empire State Building was NOT a bomb.
For those of you who do not know what to look for to identify suspected bombs...
Look for packages, suit or brief-cases, bookbags or similar objects left unattended in public areas. There may be sooty or oily stains visible. For postal bombs, the stains are a good indication, also look for packages w/o return addresses & excessive postage.
If you believe an object might be a bomb, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CHECK YOURSELF! CALL THE POLICE. THEY WOULD MUCH RATHER CHECK OUT A FALSE ALARM, THEN DEAL W/ THE AFTER EFFECTS OF AN EXPLOSION. GET AWAY FROM THE POSSIBLE BOMB & KEEP OTHERS AWAY FROM THE AREA TILL THE POLICE CAN TAKE CONTROL OF THE SCENE.
Keep the Faith, everyone.
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.
