Attacks
The Abridge Nine Eleven Time Line
Poses many questions especially about who
knew what in advance. Huge share dealings took place before the
tragedy. Was there insider knowledge of something?

German Navy Salutes America Recently
Below is an e-mail from a young ensign aboard the USS
Winston Churchill to his parents. (Churchill is an Arleigh Burke-class
AEGIS guided-missile destroyer, commissioned March 10, 2001, and is the
only active U.S. Navy warship named after a foreign national.)
Dear Dad,
We are still at sea. The remainder of our port visits have all been
cancelled. We have spent every day since the attacks going back and
forth within imaginary boxes drawn in the ocean, standing high-security
watches, and trying to make the best of it. We have seen the articles
and the photographs, and they are sickening. Being isolated, I don't
think we appreciate the full scope of what is happening back home, but
we are definitely feeling the effects.
About two hours ago, we were hailed by a German Navy destroyer, Lutjens,
requesting permission to pass close by our port side. Strange, since
we're in the middle of an empty ocean, but the captain acquiesced and we
prepared to render them honors from our bridgewing. As they were making
their
approach, our conning officer used binoculars and announced that Lutjens
was flying not the German, but the American flag. As she came alongside
us, we saw the American flag flying half-mast and her entire crew
topside standing at silent, rigid attention in their dress uniforms.
They had made a sign that was displayed on her side that read, "We Stand
By You." There was not a dry eye on the bridge as they stayed alongside
us for a few minutes and saluted. It was the most powerful thing I have
seen in my life. The German Navy did an incredible thing for this crew,
and it has truly been the highest point in the days since the attacks.
It's amazing to think that only half-century ago things were quite
different. After Lutjens pulled away, the Officer of the Deck, who had
been planning to get out later this year, turned to me and said, 'I'm
staying Navy.' I'll write you when I know more about when I'll be home,
but this is it for now. "Love you guys." And here's a picture of what
that scene looked like:
