Hi Imitation,

If it's only minutes before...how many minutes?...if we're talking enough that the plane wouldn't end up killing that many anyways by diving into several buildings rather than crashing into one...shoot it down and hope no one else dies in the process...

If we're talking about the planes still being in the heart of NY...or would end up there anyways, by virtue of momentum...then chances are that many are going to die anyways so take your pick!

No one expected the buildings to collapse...that was the ' unknown factor '...if they had held up, then the loss would probably be less than a few hundred...so...without that knowledge on hand it would be better to let it crash...than take the chance of killing many more on the street and as a result of debris and crashing into several other buildings on the way down.

Playing Monday night quarterback...I'd say shoot...but if we didn't know that the buildings were going to collapse...I'd say let em' crash, expecting a much less loss of life.
