They're tied in with bin laden and 9-11. They begged for donations of blood for NYC victims. People lined up to donate blood, but realistically there's no way that blood was sent over there. It was used elsewhere. Same thing happened during Katrina.

I also remember seeing a crawler at the bottom of the tv during all the coverage mentioning bin laden family ties to red cross but it's been so long I can't recall all the details on that one. Apologies
