Default OT- Power outage in NY. Coincidence?

I was kind of wondering the same thing.

Default OT- Power outage in NY. Coincidence?

Within the last couple of days they arrested two guys at the Seattle airport.
One was on the "do not fly" list.
Both had Pakistani passports, and had slipped illegally into the US across the
Candian border at Blaine.

Both guys paid cash for one-way tickets to NY.

Was it a coincidence that they wanted to be in NY this afternoon?
Probably.


If the terrorists could knock out electic power without being caught
wouldn't this be an effective way to blackmail us? Why would they
need to do other stuff?

Hey Chuckie, nice try with this attempted link to terrorists. But the sky is not
falling so relax. Have you read the paper the last few days?

Relax Chuckie. The sky is not falling. There are no terrorists involved in this.
Please take the time to read the paper and get informed.

Gee thanks, Jimcrack. You're no smarter than when you were Dennis Compton, are
you? Go back and look at the first post in the thread. The one where I said the
terrorists taken off the flight to NY the day before the balckout was most
likely a "coincidence".

Two points:

1. If the power outage was terrorism the USA could be quickly defeated
in this way alone. But I don't think it was terrorism, I hope not
anyway.

2. Why are we talking about this in rec.boats? :-)
