New Perhaps I'm too sensitive.
Nope. A question can be just as alarmist as a statement.

New While a question can be alarmist,
it's not the same as "jumping to a conclusion".

In this case, it was a request to see if anybody had more information to determine if it was an attack or not. The initial post(later edited) was "I can't get any more details as all the news sites are unavailable.", which supports the "request for info" aspect of the title. No need to get upset with everybody else because you inferred more than what was implied.

I'm sure the question "was it another attack?" was on initially on most everybody's mind when the plane first went down. I know it was were I work. It's not all that surprising, given the circumstance.

New Yeah
I'm just so damned pissed at the media lately that when I saw what I thought was another "would you care to comment on the suppositions regarding the possiblities of the chances of more attacks?" type of question I jumped to my own conclusion. Sorry bluke and others. I shouldn't take it out on my friends when strangers get me riled up. (And you can't get much stranger than some of our news "personalities").

New Know how it goes
I'm fighting a sinus infection and I feel like I'll to scream if just one more person comes up with "oh, you poor thing", "what are you taking", "have you seen a doctor" and so on. Everybody has their limits :-)
