Re: [ga] Condolences

["L Gallegos" <jandl@jandl.com>]

There is no question as to the enormity of this attack.  New York is 
one of the largest financial and political capitals of the world.  All 
the major financial buildings have been closed.  The stock 
exchange is closed as far as I know.  There could be structural 
undermining, electrical and gas problems.

The Atlantic Fleet is sending ships to assist.  The US and Canada 
have shut down all air traffic.

This will effect the world economy and all our lives for some time to 
come.  It is not just a US problem.  There is a critical blood 
shortage in New York right now.  They are asking for donations, if 
there is anyone on this list who could participate.  

We have no idea what the death toll will be, but it will be bad.  My 
heart goes out anyone with family or friends in Manhattan or on 
any of hijacked planes involved.  Another plane has crashed in 
Pennsylvania near PIttsburgh.

Perhaps the members of the GA could now consider the meaning 
of a single point of failure with a non-distributed root.
