I like the idea but wonder who dreamed it up - it's still light on the west coast at 7:30. There are enough earth resource type satellites that they could have done this an hour later to get the entire contiguous 48 states.

Hi Mark,

I also wondered about the legitimacy of the message, which was forwarded to me by the manager of a major Salomon Smith Barney branch here in Northern California. These guys knew a lot of people at the WTC in NYC, so I passed along the message with 'blind faith'. I'll light the candle and see what happens...

Regards,

Ken Prager
