US terror attacks disrupt chip imports 
By Linda Harrison, The Register, 9/12/2001

As the reality of yesterday's terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre
in New York starts to sink in, fears are being raised over its effect on
business. 
In the computer industry, OEMs worldwide face huge losses if US flights
- used to transport PCs, chips and other electronic components, do not
return to normal this week, Reuters reports, via SBN. 
US authorities have cancelled all flights in the wake of the attack, in
which thousands of people are feared dead after two hijacked planes
crashed into and destroyed the two towers of the World Trade Centre. 
On top of the human loss of life, the tragedy will affect all products
shipped by air, including PC-related goods, to and from the US. 
Electronics equipment makers are heavily reliant on air transport to
shift products around the world. 
It is too early to predict the knock-on effect on countries such as
Taiwan, the biggest producer of notebooks and other IT-related products.
Yesterday Taiwanese officials said they had no idea when cargo flights
to and from the US would resume. 
Meanwhile, California-based National Semiconductor has suspended all
shipments coming in and out of the US by air indefinitely, SBN reports. 
An AMD representative said disruptions were expected. "A lot of our
products are shipped by air. If they have grounded all flights, then
clearly we will have some impact," he said, adding "everyone's in the
same boat." 
Intel said it was too early to comment, but the chip giant confirmed it
had "beefed up" its security. ®
