More common sense from the The White House

It was stupid not to notify the city in advance. When you have people running out of buildings crying, you did something wrong. I don't think people outside NYC realize how much 9/11 effected them - so much more than any other city.

The City was notified problem was no one told the mayor.

Saw this of the people freaking out as it flew over. Sounds like they scared em pretty good. Today, it's no big deal, but if it would have been a Bush mistake, people would be talking about lawsuits for mental trauma caused by his stupidity.

You are so right PS. 9/11 affected everybody in the country, but unless you lived in the area there is know way of knowing how it really felt.

Like with the Oaklahoma bombing, i felt it deeply, especially with some children involved,
but know for sure i didn't really know how they felt being so far away.

Out of sight, out of mind, just part of human nature.
