I felt it appropriate to set up a special thread for people experiencing panic attacks.
Sign in here and a special team will be along soon to triage you, depending upon your symptoms.
Mild attacks will be dealt with by such band-aid methods as {{{group hugs}}} and smilies. 
More severe attacks will be handed over to the tireless would-be debaters who's verbosity and boring tirades will numb the victim into comotose calm.
As administrative head, I will bear the direct responsability of filing billing charges.
We hope that you will find this service helpful and if you have any problems with any of our staff please notify our complaint department. (Moderators at AW.com)

No panic attacks here, thank you. But it's nice to know services will be available, should the need arise.

No panic attack.
However, may I create one?
Why has this not been on the news?

I am probably in copyright violation and I do not have a link, so restating the question.
A cropduster type Florida State Department owned plane has been missing since Monday. It departed from Turks and Caicos Islands southeast of the Bahamas and was destined for Patrick Air Force Base in Melbourne on Florida's east coast. They have been searching area 50 miles southeast of Freeport, Bahamas. The aircraft is an Ayers AY-65. There is no known connection to the hijackers and only the state employed pilot was on the plane.
Any Floridians have an update? As I understand it, it was only carried locally in Florida. It would be nice if the plane has been located.

What was it a dope duster?
The Turks and Caicos are under British protection and an interesting place.
No income tax, no property taxes, no sales taxes but it is hard to get a permit to live there and harder to get a work permit.
They have dope bundles wash up on the beaches and locals turn it into police.

It was used to spray defoliants (such as in Vietnam) and it is used for drug search I believe. Forgot where I read that but somewhere. I was reading the articles on a board that does not enforce copyright and there are articles but often no links. Only the source is stated often.

Get a grip on yourself and think! Sure breathing into a paper bag does work, but I can't believe you took off your gas mask to do that when all you had to do was plug up the filters on your gas mask for a short time.
Sit back and remain calm. I'm fixing to go out and enjoy the beautiful day. My wife's shift is up and now it's my turn to sit on the roof with the sniper rifle.

Thanks Helen. That was the first bad weather statement that I had seen. Sound like it may have crashed or ditched. Can't be too careful.
Ok, next issue.
(Oh, wait, I need to make sure my source is reliable.)
I like others to panic because it calms me.

Oh dear, Zilvy, looks like you're in need of a comotose post. I must warn you that billing is done on a per word basis, thus you might wish to re-think your refusal for a {{{{hug}}}}.
Jess
The your/you're was just bugging me too much to leave. I hope some of you got a good chuckle before I finally gave in to the call of the edit button!!!!

Ok, here we go. The mosque might collapse:

Palestinian Authority spokesman Ahmed Abdul says it's part of Israel's plot and they will be held accountable.
But the cornerstone ceremony for the new temple has again been squashed. http://www.unitedjerusalem.org/index2.asp?id=58959
Lots of people there:

If the mosque collapses, it might not be considered amusing. Israel will certianly then want to rebuild the temple. Don't you think?

I was just looking at the site that I linked to to check to see if it worked when I noticed that next to each paragraph in the article there is a drop down box.
It says,
"Paragraph #1 contains:"
NO PROBLEM
Bias Partiality
Inaccuracies
BOTH
"Paragraph #2 contains:"
NO PROBLEM
Bias Partiality
Inaccuracies
BOTH
Etc.
How handy would it be if we had that here! Talk about a real time saver!
AW?

Probably the first thing I would do would be paint it white quick - because if everyone has been tod to watch for yellow it could pull up and park on their foot and they would not see it.
