A few hours after the events in New York and Washington one of my railfan newsgroups published a statement from Norman Minetta, the U.S. Sec'y of Transportation. Mainly it dealt with the closure of U.S. airspace and other disruptions to general transportation. In it he mentioned that upon being informed of the emergency the Canadians had unhesitatingly allowed all inbound overseas flights to be diverted to Canada. This was a huge favor and a brave one as well; since no one knew when or from where the next attack might come. In trying times you find out who your real friends are.........
