[QUOTE="EM rider, post: 164517, member: 22910"] Excellent points, but I think the short answer to your question is "not yet." To most, including myself, yesterday's events are so tragic and surreal that the full significance has not been even close to fully appreciated. The video clips look like some kind of hollywood action picture, not reality. But they are reality and this will sink in over the next several days. I work in finance and knew a few people at Cantor Fitzgerald (their floors took the hit directly). It still does not seem real that they may very well be dead. Beyond the loss of human life, the broader economic costs you mention are going to be huge and long lasting. The order of magnitude will be something we (thankfully) only see once in a generation. But, if there is a silver lining here, it is that only the US can fully bounce back from this, in due time. No other nation has the political stability, unity of purpose and generally shared value system that ours does. I've spent time in over 50 countries and with each trip abroad I'm more and more grateful to be a US citizen. You have to see how things are elsewhere to really appreciate what we have here. [/QUOTE]
