[BNM] [OT] Conspiracy solved

[Paul Silver]

I remember there being a lot of talk about the US military having to
shoot down planes, but don't remember hearing that they actually had. I
thought that was the plane where the passengers / crew caused it to
crash, rather than it being shot down? (I'm guessing not as you point
out the debris field.) 

When the first crash happened I thought it was some "stupid American" in
a light aircraft or something, then we had it on TV in reception, I
couldn't have been more wrong. I couldn't bear to watch it live with
some of the other people so went back to the IT office. People jumping
off buildings rather than burning to death is not something I really
need to see, especially live.

Still surprises me how many people in the office knew someone either
working in or near the WTC. One friend of a friend went to the gym for a
change that morning, best decision they ever made.
