Big slowdown. But not tanking it. I think that some

The WTC was not a key and real production resource? The WTC WAS our
economy (in a most abstract sense).
As for the recurrence of such attacks, I think that it
is unlikely.
The lax security at most US airports will experience a quantum leap
tomorrow. But expect extremely long delays.
I for one am holding my breath. This may just be a precursor to something
far more sinister to come.
