We were just talking about how carefully it was staged.  Two hits at each
location (though the second hit to DC fell short), timed closely- but not
too close- so that media crews would be focused at the scene.  Ask yourself;
how much did your heart sink when you actually SAW that second plane hit?
The message was extremely vivid.

I think it is a wise move to pay very close attention in the near future-  I
agree that the possibility of subsequent high profile activity is pretty
reasonable.
