just FYI, that was Nostradamus 165, not 1654
there are a lot of freaky coincidences going around...
and your nostradamus was incorrect, it doesn't speak of the world coming to an end, it talks of a large war starting because of it. Just throwing in some philisophical discussion.

That was a direct quote, but you're right. I guess these people have no idea what they're talking about and just fabricating things up to scare people.

This is what I first thought, but seeing the video footage, even if only 5 stories start to come down, it's plenty of weight and velocity to collapse the rest of the structure.

I don't know about everyone else, but I'm definitely in the ANGER stage of grieving now. I would like nothing more than to find out who did this and to take them out.

Everytime I see this quote (and I've seen it about 5 times in the last 24 hours) it has been modified just a little more to try and fit with the events. It's basically reverse chinese whispers.

I think the original version was: " the boy stood on the burning deck his pocket full of crackers...."

And no, intelligent people don't believe this guff but they are often happy to pass it on, with just a slight modofication, and ask if other people do.

10 years I hope everyone takes a moment to reflect today. I can still remember standing at the top of WTC 2 with my Boy Scout troop long ago...

Thanks for bringing this back to the top today. I think we all need to read it or at least a part of it.

It's amazing too how much imformation was passed to others who couldn't see the news through this thread.
