World Trade Centers (Terrorist Attacks?)

I am assuming by now that most of you have heard that two seperate planes have crashed into World Trade Center buildings in New York City. Since most news sites are being crushed at the moment, CNN, MSNBC, NBC, FoxNews, etc all not responding, I am posting this here.

The buildings after the crash

Planes Crash Into World Trade Center


NEW YORK – An aircraft crashed into the upper floors of one of the World Trade Center towers Tuesday morning, and black smoke poured out of two gaping holes, witnesses said. Shortly afterward a second explosion rocked the other tower.

There was no immediate word on injuries or fatalities in the disaster, which happened shortly before 9 a.m.

The plane was coming in low and ... it looked like it hit at a slight angle," said Sean Murtagh, a CNN vice president, the network reported.

Large holes were visible in two sides of the 110-story building, one of landmark twin towers.

There was no immediate word on injuries or fatalities in the twin disasters, which happened shortly before 9 a.m. and then right around 9 a.m.

The towers were struck by bombers in February 1993.

"The plane was coming in low and ... it looked like it hit at a slight angle," said Sean Murtagh, a CNN vice president, the network reported.

Large holes were visible in sides of the 110-story buildings, landmark twin towers.

The tops of the twin towers were obscured by the smoke.

Thousands of pieces of what appeared to be office paper came drifting over Brooklyn, about three miles from the tower, one witness said.

I heard that the planes were hijacked, and one of them was from Boston. I apologize if any of this is incorrect, but it's coming in as I'm writing this. American Airlines flight 11 was hijacked by the Palestinians, and rumor has it that the Pentagon just got hit. I can't verifiy any of it though.

A second plane also crashed into the towers, so the smoke is pouring off the towers. Osama Bin Laden is probably responsible. New York is basically in a lockdown, as nobody can go anywhere. All I have to say is that I am keeping New York in my prayers, and to hope for the best.

Minutes after two airplanes crashed into New York City’s World Trade Center towers this morning in a what appears to be the gravest terrorist attack ever in America, a large explosion and fire took place at the Pentagon. Witnesses said it, too, was caused by an airplane.

At about 10 a.m., one of the 110-story World Trade Center towers collapsed.

The tragedies stunned the nation and prompted officials, fearing still more attacks, to evacuate the Capitol, the White House, State Department and other federal buildings. Flights were canceled at all major airports in the nation.

Shortly before the Pentagon fire ignited, President Bush called the New York disasters "an apparent terrorist attack on our country." He hastily departed from Florida, where he had scheduled an education speech, and returned to Washington. Early details were sketchy, but the New York attacks seemed certain to cause heavy losses of life and many injuries.

There were reports that an American Airlines 767 had been hijacked earlier today on a scheduled flight from Boston to Los Angeles, and apparently was one of the planes flown into the giant towers that dominate lower Manhattan’s skyline. The second crash, which touched off a giant fireball in one of the tower’s upper floors shortly after 9 a.m. EDT, took place as many Americans watched live on television.

New York’s airports were quickly closed, the New York Stock Exchange was evacuated, and millions of Americans watched in horror and disbelief as news of the Pentagon fire soon followed.

In Florida, Bush pledged to use “the full resources of the federal government government to help the victims and their families" and “to hunt down and find those folks who committed these acts."

I just saw this on the news! This is indeed terrible! What is the deal with terrorists? They LEVELED both world trade center towers and the Pentagon! How can that happen!? I guess this really shows how well off America! We sure are prepared for terrorists, aren't we? This is actually making me shake now. I can't believe this. It sounds like this is from a movie, only it's real. Two of the tallest towers in our country have been leveled. God, help us!

An airplane has crashed at Camp David. I live in Cleveland, and they said a hijacked plane landed at our airport and it had a bomb on it. I cannot verify that. Our downtown has been evacuated completely. They said a hijacked plane was in our airspace, but I can't verify any of that. My work is a military supplier, and we're going home. My college roomate works in downtown New York and and I haven't heard from him. I've tried his work phone, cell phone, and pager. No response. I'm going to go home, and I don't know when I'll be able to update anything.

Please get on your knees and pray.

God.

Both of the twin towers are gone. The plane just missed the pentigon (it was built strong, it should be fine).

Another plane crashed in PA. And yet another is reportted to be flying near Washington D.C.

Washington D.C. is one of the most restricted air spaces in the world. No one can fly over it.

---
On another note: So much for a coaster between the twin towers.

I pray for the families.

Also, please (if you're old enough) go donate blood anywhere you can. New York City will need it.

All the cells in New York have been overloaded. Phone networks have been shut down. Odds are you just can't get through. Have hope.
