...Had the pilots known I'm sure they would have taken a different path of
action. Is it possible, i'm hoping, that is why one of the planes did
crash? Anyone know?

Check out the New York Times articles on-line

This is one of a series of articles about what is known or hypothesized =
about each plane and the conditions on it. Hopefully the link is still =
good... but have some kleenex if you (like me) are a "soft-touch". =20

I'm going to brag on some people who do have their hearts in the right =
places now: The local ABC affiliate in town (Kansas City) and the Red =
Cross put together a Telethon for this evening, using the local PBS =
station's studio (volunteered by the PBS station) to raise funds for the =
victims. In 6 hours, more than $500,000 was raised and they are having to =
find ways for other people to donate since the phones were totally jammed. =

To put it bluntly, tragedies such as those that occurred in NY and DC have =
the power to bring us together or drive us apart - and the choice is ours. =
It's one of the only things we really do have power over. =20

I'll get off my soap box now (and get to practicing, since that's what I =
should have been doing while I read those articles). =20
