A trait that took getting used to considering in the US whena stranger randomly starts talking to you its generally considered proper to disembowl them and spray them with mace in the name of self-defense... or maybe that's just me. -discovered that the entire irish population are technically alcoholics by american standards. -Ireland, unlike the stereotype is not composed entirely of Red heads but does have a higher ratio of red heads to brunettes/blondes/black hair people than the states. (And yes I did keep a running count, After two weeks I had seen approximatemately 80-90 reads +/- 10 for a margin of error.) -And last but not least the Irish love to spin large yarns and see how far they can drag you behind them until you stop believing them. It's called takin' the piss out of someone. -I met an independent film star named Jonathan Reis Myers. -highly recommend that one and all move to Ireland. -------------------------- Message 8901 from *Chat (#5391): Date: Thu Sep 27 21:11:44 2001 EDT From: Clint (#25170) To: *Chat (#5391) Subject: where?!

These were deplorable acts that we will never forget. But now is a time to look at the other side of the numbers coming out of New York, Washington and Pennsylvania. The sad but somewhat uplifting side that the mainstream media has not reported. The SURVIVAL rates and some positive news about the attacks. THE BUILDINGS The World Trade Center The twin towers of the World Trade Center were places of employment for some 50,000 people. With the missing list of just over 5,000 people, that means 90% of the people targeted survived the attack. A 90% on a test is an "A"'. The Pentagon Some 23,000 people were the target of a third plane aimed at the Pentagon. The latest count shows that only 123 lost their lives. That is an Amazing 99.5% survival rate. in addition, the plane seems to have come in too low, too early to affect a large portion of the building. On top of that, the section that was hit was the first of five sections to undergo renovations that would help protect the Pentagon from terrorist attacks. It had recently completed straightening and blast proofing, saving untold lives. This attack was sad, but a statistical failure. THE PLANES American Airlines Flight 77 This Boeing 757 that was flown into the outside of the Pentagon could Have carried up to 289 people, yet only 64 were aboard. Luckily 78% of the Seats were empty. American Airlines Flight 11 This Boeing 767 could have had up to 351 people aboard, but only carried 92. Thankfully 74% of the seats were unfilled. United Airlines Flight 175 Another Boeing 767 that could have sat 351 people only had 65 people on board. Fortunately it was 81% empty. United Airlines Flight 93 This Boeing 757 was one of the most uplifting stories yet. The smallest flight to be hijacked with only 45 people aboard out of a possible 289 had 84% of its capacity unused. Yet these people stood up to the attackers and thwarted a fourth attempted destruction of a national landmark, saving untold numbers of lives in the process. IN SUMMARY Out of potentially 74,280 Americans directly targeted by these inept cowards, 93% survived or avoided the attacks. That's a higher survival rate than heart attacks, breast cancer, kidney transplants and liver transplants- all common, survivable illnesses. Pass this information on to those in fear and the media. Don't fear these terrorists. The odds are against them. Author Unknown --------------------------
