I am saddened to say that those planes were fully loaded with passengers. This is a most terrible day for us here in the West. I am so blown away that I am unable to do much of anything right now at work. At least I have my feelings. At least I have my meds. I pray for all the people that have just died, I guess even the terrorists who have just died for a dark cause. May HaShem, G-d, judge them and cleanse them of the stain they have put on their souls.

But to fly airplanes into buildings holding 40,000 people -- and causing one to collapse (I'm sure a goal of the terrorist) -- I'm sure the terrorists of the world will salute this act. I've always felt another's pain pretty deeply. I need to make sure this does not trigger me -- my t is going out of town, I'm having surgery, but this is awful -- I'll never understand why anyone thinks death brings answers. I'm terrible saddened, terribly saddened.
