6/11 Possible Terror Threat

I normally do not read or forward things like this but in this day and age you just never know...

>Hi all I hope everyone is doing well. The reason I am sending out this mass email to everyone is because of something that was brought to my attention the other day that I feel I need to tell as many people as possible incase it turns out to be true.. One of my colleagues has a good family friend who works in city hall. This friend called my coworker on Friday to tell him about some intelligence the city has gotten regarding a possible terror attack in the city (most likely the subways) planned for this Friday and urged him to avoid the subways if
possible. He also told him something about the city placing an order for 2 to 3 thousand extra body bags. Now you have to take these things with a grain of salt because I am sure they get tons of this intelligence that turns out to be nothing. However there are some things that coinside with this Friday that seem to give it a higher probability than usual. The terrorists attacked the WTC on 9/11. They attacked Spain's subways on 3/11. This Friday just happens to be 6/11. Whether that means
anything or not who knows. The thing that really has me concerned however is that all of a sudden a lot of things are now closed on Friday due to Reagan's death. The stock market, banks, Mail and all federal buildings are closed. Obviously Reagan's death wasn't planned but the fact they chose Friday as the day to do this big honoring of him strikes me as a little to coincidental (less people going to work = less people on the subway). The question that I get most when I tell people about
this is why wouldn't they go on TV and warn people. Well I think the answer to that is simple....they can't. They would cause mass hysteria and the city would be out of control. Take this information and do withit what you want. I just felt the need to tell as many people as I could. God forbid something does happen this Friday and some people get hurt or die that I know and could have warned about it and didn't, wellthat would be a tough pill for me to swallow. I hope all this is bull and nothing happens this Friday or any day for that matter.

Besides, if the terrorists knew all the government buildings would be shut down on that day don't you think they would re-schedule?

---

Thanks for posting the other info you found.... just never know anymore.

The 21st century urban legends are now terrorist warnings.

LOL Craig!!

Yes, I don't think that they would be dumb enough to actually tell us when a attack is happening. But anyway something must be getting a little more serious because myself and other staff at the place I work in Times Square was called into a meeting Tuesday with the NYPD. They are supposed to be teaching us what a terrorist looks like:P and what to look out for when people are coming in (bags etc) oy.

So tell us all, NYU, what DOES a terrorist look like? Osama Bin Laden or Timothy McVeigh? We need to know.

Hey, be nice to the mentally retarded population!

...still waiting for the attack...

I am AMAZED that papa is upset with one's not being PC!! "Mentally retarded" may not be PC, but it is not incorrect.

Working in Education & Community Outreach, I was on the phone with a woman who was requesting a ticket donation. In the course of the phone call, I used the term "mentally retarded", and she said rather snootily, "I believe the proper term is Mentally CHALLENGED".

A week later, I received another ticket donation request from the American Association on Mental Retardation.

What gives?
