What amazes me is that someone actually sat down and figured this stuff
out...? Guess they had nothing better to do:

Date of attack: 9/11 9+1+1=11
Sept. 11t is the 254th day of the year: 2+5+4=11
After Sept. 11th there are 111 days left to the end of the year.
119 is the area code to Iran/Iraq: 1 + 1 + 9 = 11
Twin Towers- standing side by side, looks like the number 11
first plane to hit the towers was Flight 11

Coincidence..there's more....

State of New York- 11th state added to the Union
New York City- 11 letters
Afghanistan- 11 letters
The Pentagon- 11 letters
Ramzi Yousef- 11 letters (convicted of orchestrating the attack on the
WTC in 1993)
Flight 11- 92 on board- 9 + 2 = 11
Flight 77 - 65 on board- 6 + 5 = 11

------- End of forwarded message -------

well, i wasn't trying to be offensive...just tying to lift the mood a little. I don't know about you guys, but this whole thing is taking quite a toll on my mental state. Not that I'm comparing my worried mind to the actual victims, but the coverage, the stories, the crying every day...is starting to get to me.

you're missing the fact that in almost all countries, the day goes before the month, so the date would have been 11/9 ... the Iran/Iraq area code
