Why did so many people have to die? I hear this so much and must clarify it. They did not! God does not interfere with our freewill but his angels send us impulses, feelings, urges and all kinds of notifications of impending problems but we do not heed these gentle urgings. We are too busy doing what we feel we have to do or are afraid not to do.

Those four planes held 1,000 people but only 266 died--do you think this was an accident? I have flown this route many times and they are always full. THe World Trade Center buildings are ususally full at 50,000 capacity plus over 10,000 visitors per day yet only 20,000 were there! Do you think this was an accident? If the two 110 story buildings had toppled over when hit many more would have died---but they did not---there was time for many to get out and yet they fell right where they were. To say that God was not present is so wrong--my God was there with our angels and so was yours! The bravery of the people on one of the flights saved many lives, the bravery of so many others shows the good and decency in humanity---let us give thanks for this great God who tried to reach all his children and let us listen carefully without fear in the future--for it is only God who can help us to find and bring to justice those whose minds are riddled with hate and hoplessness before other terrible acts are perpetrated upon humanity!
