UA just announced one of the flights just went down on ABC 7 in DC
Also they are saying that AA information line is 800 245 0999 for those with loved ones on it.
Sorry if a duplicate post but at this point in life, does it really matter

UA has a message posted from Goodwin on the front page of ual.com before you get to the home page. Also, up to date press releases on a special link there.

This is unreal. I was on my way to the ciy on an express bus and was taking a nap. Apparently people in the bus witnessed the second plane crash and the lady sat next to me burst into tears as her son work on the 97th floor of the building.
All the bridges, tunnels and subway are now shut down. I left the Rockerfeller Center office and now in my other office on the east side, which is very low profile.

I am writing from the Hyatt in Belgrade where the eerie remains of our bombs are right out the window. My son travels to the east on business and I have no idea where he is. NATO headquarters in Brussels have been evacuated and a delegation due here from France has just been cancelled. Our embassies in Bucharest and Sofia were evacuated over the last weekend as it is. I am very fearful that the tragedy is not over. My husband and I hope to rejoin our family in CA next week. I am overwhelmed with sadness and grief as we all are.

Dear friends,
I am just about to rip up the sermon I have written for Rosh Hashanah morning. I realize how trivial so much of what we do in life is.
My prayers are with the world, prayers for peace and wholeness.

I think its time to give Isreal the blank check. Its a zero sum game there and I'd rather deal with the Israelis than the scum who profess to serve their "god" by murdering innocent people.

Surely Israel has had a blank check from the USA for a few decades? I do not feel ASSUMING the religion or nationality of who is behind this is wise or fair. No one has claimed responsibility have they? You can rest assured they will be actively sought, but let due process take part in that, not lynch mobs or wild guesses.
