Anyways, that made me think of something else about the Atlantic:

Dayton: 'NORAD lied' During the hearing, Dayton told leaders of the Sept. 11 commission, that, based on the commission's report, a NORAD chronology made public a week after the attacks was grossly misleading. The chronology said the FAA notified the military's emergency air command of three of the hijackings while those jetliners were still airborne. Dayton cited commission findings that the FAA failed to inform NORAD about three of the planes until after they had crashed. And, he said, a squadron of NORAD fighter planes that was scrambled was sent east over the Atlantic Ocean and was 150 miles from Washington, D.C., when the third plane struck the Pentagon -- "farther than they were before they took off." Dayton said NORAD officials "lied to the American people, they lied to Congress and they lied to your 9/11 commission to create a false impression of competence, communication and protection of the American people." http://web.archive.org/web/20040804133050/http://www.startribune.com/stories/1576/4904237.html http://www.wanttoknow.info/faanoradaccused

No one usually gives a shit, unless you live in FL. Down here we track every storm.

This one was in the news, but the mind fuck called 9/11 overshadowed everything else. A hurricane out over the Atlantic threatening Bermuda is not big news in the US.

Tropical Cyclone Report Hurricane Erin 1 - 15 September 2001 Richard J. Pasch and Daniel P. Brown National Hurricane Center 20 November 2001 Revised: 25 January 2002 Erin was the third of a series of four "interrupted track" tropical cyclones during the 2001 Atlantic hurricane season. After re-forming, it strengthened to a category three hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale, just to the east of Bermuda. ================== a. Synoptic History Erin can be traced back to a tropical wave that emerged from western Africa on 30 August. The system almost immediately showed signs of tropical cyclone formation, with curvature in the bands of associated deep convection. Dvorak classifications commenced at 1800 UTC on the 30th. There was little change in the system's organization, and deep convection was sporadic for the next day or so. On 1 September the cloud pattern began to become better organized, and based on the satellite presentation as well as drifting buoy data that showed a definite closed surface circulation, it is estimated that a tropical depression formed by 1800 UTC that day, located about 600 n mi west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. With a mid-tropospheric ridge in place to its north, the tropical cyclone moved on a west to west-northwestward heading at 14-18 kt over the following three days. ===================== c. Casualty and Damage Statistics There were no reports of damage or casualties associated with Erin.

SMALL EARTHQUAKES STRIKE NYC Two mild earthquakes struck NYC in January and October of 2001

QUOTE

City Faults Earthquake faults are not unknown in this city. Several that are part of the Dobbs Ferry family run under the Bronx and Manhattan and there are probably others under Brooklyn and Queens. One fault, known as the 125th Street fault, was exposed during the construction of the Water Tunnel and Dr. Seeber was brought to observe the fault briefly by a consultant. "Right after that, they covered the fault with cement, so there was no proper study of it," he said sadly. "It was by chance that we found out. So at least we got to see it and got a picture."

Even an earthquake did not affect the twin towers. And two alleged 767s are going to do what a 6-story fire, 4-story bomb, and a mild earthquake could not do?
