Oct. 13th, 2001 08:10 amI'm sure that in recent weeks, we've all recieved a lot of e-mail related to Tuesday's attacks. And i'm sure many of you have seen this one inparticular. I got one I wasn't very sure of on October 11th, no offense to the sender, i'm just skeptical of e-mail forwards, and have recieved a second, similar one today.
Honestly, i'm not sure what to think. The stories are slightly different, and seem to originate with two different people. It makes it hard for me to trust.
Can other people give me thier opinions?
