"Those SOB's Will Never Embarrass Me Again"

4. I read "Goddamn Kennedys" as well
I read it before at Spartacus
http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/JFKhuntHL.htm

And his source is the interview with Madeleine Brown, LBJ's mistress, on A Current Affair which was broadcasted on 24th February 1992.

It's not that relevant whether it is "goddamn Kennedys" or "SOB's" but he did swear so it sounds like Lyndon. Just like Nixon couldn't utter a sentence without a swear word either.

6. Can't watch google videos
My normal browser has plugs in disabled and IE simply says that there is an error on the page. Somehow google never bothered to fix the error, so those videos never play on my computer.

opera http://www.opera.com/download/index.dml?custom=yes has it from start(as far as I can remember) and firefox can install it easy

10. FAA orders approx 120 scrambles every year


FAA Headquarters:
They're pulling Jeff away to go talk about United
93.
Command Center:
Uh, do we want to think, uh, about scrambling
aircraft?
FAA Headquarters:
Oh, God, I don't know.
Command Center:
Uh, that's a decision somebody's gonna have to
make probably in the next ten minutes.
FAA Headquarters:
Uh, ya know everybody just left the room

911 report page 29

It's funnier than the comic

According to Griffin the military changed the story three times

11. 462 times (September 2000 to June 2001) BTW
Edited on Sun Sep-24-06 02:54 PM by DrDebug
Source: Associated Press ( http://www.wanttoknow.info/020812ap )

It's almost a daily routine because there are plenty pilots who do not pay attention and leave their normal route.

12. I understand that after sept 11 they did it 462 times before only 67
From Sept. 11 to June, NORAD scrambled jets or diverted combat air patrols 462 times, almost seven times as often as the 67 scrambles from September 2000 to June 2001, Martin said.

14. Art Spiegelman did a comic book on the collapse of the WTC towers also.
I don't know if anyone here has read it already - it's called "In the Shadow of No Towers". You might recognize Spiegelman's name - he won acclaim several decades ago with his work "Maus".

15. I only found the first comic (in german)on a polish server
http://www.kultura.org.pl/komix/spiegelman.pdf

It seems he had his daughter in a school near the WTC towers.
