Today had an unreal sense. Seeing, but not wanting to believe the events unfolding. Can airport security be so lax? I think Bush is handling things well. His speech was short and to the point. Speaking softly, but carrying a big stick.

How Good Were the World Trade Center Pilots? How good a pilot would you have to be to hit the World Trade Center? For the record: We're short of facts, what follows is inference and speculation, the conclusions offered here could all turn out to be wrong. Still, on the basis of the evidence today, two conclusions seem very likely. One is that the original pilots on the United and American flights were removed from the controls, probably by being killed. The other is that the people who replaced them in the cockpit were skilled pilots, probably with jetliner experience and training, and at least with special preparation in the systems and controls of these planes. slate.msn.com
