3. All I see on our corporate cable news channels are corporate commercials

and old Larry King reruns.

The American people are childlike, and the cable news channels cater to that. The European stations cater to an audience of more enlightened adults.

4. witnesses say they saw airplane crashing

One witness described hearing a low-flying aeroplane just before the first explosion, sparking speculation of an air traffic accident. A witness said that several of his neighbours witnessed a plane crashing into the depot, but this has been denied by the police. The depot is about 11 miles from Luton Airport and supplies fuel for the airport.

5. Aren't we a little early for a wikipedia article?

I love wikipedia, but maybe it's best to let events play out a little first. That was only one witness by the way, who might have been a little flustered by the whole thing.

7. If you want an ACCURATE LIVE ACCOUNT...check MY link out

That thread in Latest Breaking News was a LIVE ACCOUNT, we had the GIBBERISH about the "plane" in that thread and it was TOTALLY debunked by both the BBC, SKY News AND the local police.

Facts not rumor.

6. CHECK MY ABOVE LINK OUT...NO PLANE CRASHED ANYWHERE

Please, the plane crashing was RUMOR and it was CONFIRMED by Hertfordshire Police THAT NO PLANE CRASHED INTO THE OIL DEPOT!!

Pure Rumor, Wikipedia needs a KICK IN THE ASS.
