Can we please leave this off the list? Messages unrelated to the
humanity and tragedy really should be left off the list.
There was no flight Q33. They used that specificially because the
character "3" in the Wingdings font is a sheet of paper with writing on
it. If you are told it's a building, you might think so, but it's not.
Apparently people's memories are so short or their fact-checking so
poor that they accept that Q33 was a flight that hit the WTC.
Go to http://www.snopes.com, look at the current hoaxes, and read the
explanation about this. It's a known "easter egg" with Wingdings and
Webdings fonts, and has purely harmless, benign intentions.
P.S.: Much cooler is the face in the smoke, an actual "thing" even if
meaningless.
