World Trade Center-Plane Crash

[Cheyenne]

Thank God they closed the Sears Tower- hopefully Hancock Building, too. If I were in ANY skyscraper at the moment I'd get my ass out of there NOW.

The capitol, the UN, the Sears Tower, the Treasury, and several other major buildings in the capitol have been closed. AF1 just took off with Bush in it, aparently aimed towards DC.

God help us

I have never been frozen before. I sat here watching "Today" and watched the second plane explode. Now, the Pentagon has experienced an explosion of sorts. I've seen reports on the 6:00 news, where terrorism and death is recorded, but that's always OTHER COUNTRIES.
I feel ill.

How many minutes has gone by

since the Pentagon explosion? They are saying that these have been about 20 minutes apart. Where would they strike next?

 

[Pokerman]

Subways shut down now....


Am really stuck on this fucking island now

 

[Ask For More]

I doubt anyone in NY will be here at the moment...

I'm running upstairs and downstairs from computer to TV....I'm trying to access the BBC news page but its really slow because of all the traffic...

One plane was hijacked out of Boston, commercial aircraft, It could have been hijacked any time before 9am this morning.
I also heard something about flight 11 bound for la being one of them. I don't know if they are the same. They are uncertain if there were passengers abourd yet, or not. Or, they won't say.

oh my god

This is all so very wrong.
I feel sick to my stomach. How can anyone justify in their minds such a senseless act.

 

[Cheyenne]

I don't think Sparky works near World Trade Center- he should be fine. Just keep thinking good thoughts.

 

[Gilly Bean]

They just ordered all planes in the us to land immediatly, at the nearest airways, so that if another was hijacked, they can find it immediatly.

 

[bluntforcemama]

What if the US declares MArshall Law?

 

[Guest]

Scary

They are speculating the Boston plane was in route to LA- which means it was boarded. Supposedly, it was being diverted to JFK. Jesus Christ.

The second tower just collapsed. All those people....

 

[Gilly Bean]

At least the top half of the building rumbled, and folded in on itself. There were still so many people alive inside. All the people who were around it. The whole city is covered in smoke.

 

[TN_Vixen]

OMYGOD

it collapsed. Panic in the streets... bodies falling out of the building. I'm in shock, shaking.. crying unreal.

 

[Dillinger]

A second explosion on the 2nd WT tower... looking at the pics of NYC it looks like 1/2 the city is covered in smoke.

 

[Ask For More]

A third explosion....

 

[Dillinger]

"unconfirmed report" --- NBC - "a portion of one of the towers has collapsed"

 

[Guest]

The second tower just collapsed. All those people....

I'm numb. It's surreal.
Speculation- the second plane flew out of Newark.
"Today" reporting, it was a 3rd plane that flew into the heloport at Pentagon.

 

[TN_Vixen]

ANOTHER Plane???!!

JesusGod, help us all.

 

[Gilly Bean]

Unconfirmed... hell, I just saw the replay of it, it folded into itself. It just... fell. The triage center they had set up, all the people being treated, most are even more injured.. if not dead.

I am not a religious person, but I am praying now.
