I strongly agree with John on this. The SI issue must not be affected by this tragedy. But I'm strongly in favour of rebuilding the World Trade Center Twin towers to exactly what they were a few days ago - even putting the same offices in the same floors in the same towers with the same floor plans for each floor. Maybe reinforce the towers with more heat resistant steel. However if the building were to be in SI I wonder if the new towers would still be the exactly the same as the original ones? I greatly feel for the victims of the tragedy but feel for the towers themselves too. alfred -----Original Message----- From: kilopascal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 12, 2001 8:19 PM To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:15235] Re: Attack on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon 2001-09-12 I hope this world wide support doesn't include accommodating the US in the use of FFU. I hope this incident doesn't cause the EU, out of respect and sorrow for the US, doesn't back of its commitment to be totally SI by 2009.
