So Gibraltar has tumbled. I can hear sirens. I was indirectly alerted to the catastrophe by one of my favourite pop singers, and watched it on a big TV with my producer. Our own handiwork played over the first 2 minutes of footage of blue sky, orange flame and black smoke. From the appearance of a bizarre accident to the unmistakable malice of a deliberate strike. The death toll is monstrous. And so many of those on the ground were firefighters and medical staff - the best in New York, of all places - already seeking to do their jobs when the buildings came down, after which they were needed even more, yet gone. That's as sad as anything about this disaster. I see that Alasdair Cook has posted - *again*. His words will demand my attention, soon. Jefferson, I think we're lost, indeed. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!
