Pretty neat. Pretty too. Good post.

That's really cool. I love how, at about 2000-2100ish Z, the east coast looks like it explodes.

If the animation had run another 5 hours you could have seen me flying NW of Denver... in the middle of the night. Every time I see the animation of the planes landing on 9/11 I look for myself because I suspect we were one of the few planes in southern Idaho.

Very cool!

Reminds me of this one:

Once the big red blob hits Memphis, all I can think of is the line from Monty Python: "Run away!! Run away!!"
