Right now, people are going to be VERY emotional about it. I know people who
live in New York, and my son's finance is visting there right now.  She could
possibly have been on one of those airplanes.

In a highly volatile and emotional state, it is fairly easy to get people to fly
off the handle and cause horrible polarization.  It boggles my mind that people
would do that, but well, they do.
