I originally posted this on the Safehold Forum but for 09/11 I think this belongs here as well!

TODAY is the 14th Anniversary of that horrible event of 09/11/2001! No way of knowing how many of those who died then or since as a results of that attack were some of David's fans, but I am sure that there were at least some! PLEASE fly the FLAG in honor of those who were lost! Remember that 'THE FLAG' does not have to be of the USA, as there were many different nationals who died! One in particular that I will be remembering is Col. Cyril (Rick) Rescorla, scion of Cornwall, England, who later served in some of the hottest action in Vietnam as a US Army 2nd Lt. His actions at 09/11 in constantly saving his co-workers of Morgan Stanley and others reflects TOTAL HEROISM!

Pride & Sadness - They will NOT be forgot! I would be proud if I could, in that (Heinlein Space Cadet) military tradition, answer the roll call with that salute to our honored dead, "I answer for him!"

I have too much of a tendency to not forget it.

It is a physics problem.

How do you analyse what airliners can do to skyscrapers 2,000 times the mass of the aircraft without knowing the distributions of steel and concrete down the buildings?

9/11 is stupid science and that is more important than flags. Especially in the nation that put men on the Moon.

Oh I forget, most SF readers don't care about science.
