My friends going to Florida on September 11th and she got the flight £500 cheaper than it would have been September 10th. Do you think its a risk to fly again the same day Disaster struck ??

Are you superstitious?
If anything it would be safer, they are unlikely to repeat the same act on the same day. Terrorists are too busy fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan to plot an attack on innocent people.

+ Theres loads of terrorists, they WILL strike the west again.
It'd be safer now for that. Dunno why!
when is the question though
What Dave?
the question is when will they hit
IF they hit.
true :P
Just fly, they will strike at any time on any day so don't think like that or you'll never fly again.
They will strike on any day at anytime that doesn't stop you from doing your normal things?
I'd be poo scared though, I LOATHE airplanes.
i go on an average 4 flights a year
I LOVE flying and I mean LOVE.
Flying rocks, Iv always wanted to be a pilot until I got this problem with my eyes meaning I can never be one.
my friend went to new york on september 11th last year... nothing happened.
You have to release that secruity in airports is extremely high these days, when Septemember 11th happened the secruity was very poor and they showed that. Now your met by police with big guns ready to shoot down anyone who could be a terriost and chuck in jail anyone who jokes about having a bomb...
Not at all-It was 5 years ago
Apparantly, more people die of being kicked to death by horses each year than people die in planes.
Flying is official the safest form of travel according to an assemble we had and the worst been cars. :)Quote:

Yeah exactly, I don't think the date had any significance to the terrorists so no, there won't be a risk =]Quote:

Its the safest mode of transportation, trust me..Quote:

1) New York City has 11 letters
2) Afghanistan has 11 letters.
3) Ramsin Yuseb (The terrorist who threatened to destroy the Twin Towers in 1993) has 11 letters.
4) George W Bush has 11 letters.
This could be a mere coincidence, but this gets more interesting:
1) New York is the 11th state.
2) The first plane crashing against the Twin Towers was flight number
11.
3) Flight 11 was carrying 92 passengers. 9 + 2 = 11
4) Flight 77 which also hit Twin Towers, was carrying 65 passengers.
6+5 = 11
5) The tragedy was on September 11, or 9/11 as it is now known. 9 + 1+ 1=11
6) The date is equal to the US emergency services telephone number
911. 9 + 1 + 1 = 11.
Sheer coincidence..?! Read on and make up your own mind:
1) The total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was
254. 2 + 5 + 4 = 11.
2) September 11 is day number 254 of the calendar year. Again 2 + 5 +
4
= 11.
3) The Madrid bombing took place on 3/11/2004. 3 + 1 + 1 + 2 + 4 = 11.
4) The tragedy of Madrid happened 911 days after the Twin Towers
incident.
Now this is where things get totally eerie:
The most recognised symbol for the US, after the Stars & Stripes, is
the Eagle. The following verse is taken from the Quran, the Islamic
holy book:
"For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle.
The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and
lo,
while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced: for
the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah and there was
peace."
That verse is number 9.11 of the Quran.
Still uncovinced about all of this..?! Try this and see how you feel
afterwards, it made my hair stand on end:
Open Microsoft Word and do the following:
1. Type in capitals Q33 NY. This is the flight number of the first
plane to hit one of the Twin Towers.
2. Highlight the Q33 NY.
3. Change the font size to 48.
4. Change the actual font to the WINGDINGS
That was an e-mail i got sent
It Will Be Safe, I Mean have you seen or heard any terrorist attacks, on planes/to do with hijacks, september 11, is just another day, except something very bad and upsetting happened, one time on that day, doesnt mean it will happen again, and also, americas security in theyre airpots will be to the max, as they dont want a repeat of 911, and so will Uk's Security be good.
Well USA secruity is not as good as the UK's in some aspects.
My dad lives in USA and on his way to the UK he had a knife in his back (he's dopey like that). It wasn't sharp at all and culdnt do much damage it was more of a rectangular shape with a curve at the top. But the USA airport did not pick this up at all and he got on the plane with it.
But apart from that little problem their secruitry is very good. They check your shoes and everything. Their immigration checks are very good aswell.
Takes me about 1-4 hours to go through immigration as they take ages to check each person.
But i flew back with him from UK to USA and the UK airport picked it up when they scan ur bags etc...they then put us in a room and checked all our things and used some machine to test for bomb stuff :P
i remember that the year after 9/11 they had free flights on that day.
i doubt they'd attack again on the same day.
