[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]Yes it was a horrible day for just about everyone. As a former New Yorker I am sure someone I knew died as a result of that attack. Fortunately my cousin had just retired as a Battalion Chief of the NY Fire Dept located in far Rockaway. Otherwise he would have been there. His former crew all rushed to the scene. He knew several fire fighters who lost their life in the Twin Tower tragedy. [/size][/green][/font]
[font "Poor Richard"][green][size 3]I would guess that our many of our leaders knew that such an attack was eminent however, this is a big country with millions of places to stage an attack of some sort. Where do you start? Too many people have short memories and do not want to be inconvenience in any manner that might interfere with their daily activities. I guess that I should stop here otherwise I might get some folks too upset to go fishing? LOL[/size][/green][/font]
