An airplane just flew into the world trade center.
9/11/01 3:08:48 PM
My wife just called me again: a SECOND plane just flew into the other tower.
Wow. Obviously a terrorist suicide attack, of horrifying scale.
9/11/01 3:28:04 PM
Heard the first, rushed out and shot photos of the smoke pouring out, and
saw the second impact right in front of me. Unbelievable. If they'd have occured
two hours later there could conceivably have had thousands dead.
9/11/01 3:29:04
I saw the second plane hit....it was heading right for the building. They are
saying the FBI is investigating a possible hijacked plane.
9/11/01 3:34:50 PM
thousands are already dead. The second plane hit after 9 am. Both, apparently,
were airliners.
9/11/01 3:38:04 PM
msnbc is saying that it could be a hijacker on each plane. sick, but
impressive in a horrible sort of way if true.
9/11/01 3:40:43 PM
holy Mother of God
9/11/01 3:46:16 PM
Now they are reporting and I'm seeing huge plumes of smoke in Washington
DC...they are saying behind the old Executive Office Building and also the
Pentagon is reporting fire and is being evacuated...Peter Jennings on ABC.
9/11/01 3:53:49 PM
I can't believe Bush is going to fly back from Florida...he shouldn't be in
a
plane today. We're at war, folks...
9/11/01 3:55:02 PM
One of the NYC planes was reported to be a 767 out of Boston. All airports
have just been shut down.
9/11/01 4:02:06 PM
The South tower just exploded.
9/11/01 4:06:18 PM
The entire city is a mass of smoke and dust...this is catastrophic.
9/11/01 4:10:35 PM
shit, shit, shit. This is devastating.
9/11/01 4:11:28 PM
The news from the Pentagon is sketchy....it looks as tho the plane crashed
outside the building and they are saying everyone was evacuated.
9/11/01 4:20:38 PM
Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine is claiming
responsibility...Fox News.
9/11/01 4:22:32 PM
They may have done it, but this a terrorist's wet dream. Fine. Let whoever
wants to claim responsibility and take them all out. We'll worry about whoever
actually did it later.
9/11/01 4:24:31 PM
Now they are saying the other tower is leaning and the fire is spreading
downward...it's goning to collapse, no doubt.
9/11/01 4:25:57 PM
Per Free Republic, no fly zone over NYC. Military fighters will down any
aircraft.
9/11/01 4:27:00 PM
this is much too much like a Clancy novel.
9/11/01 4:27:25 PM
CBS is reporting a car bomb has exploded outside the State Department.
9/11/01 4:28:11 PM
American Flight 11 to Los Angeles from Boston, the other was from Dulles. 90
and 60 passengers each.Car bomb exploded outside the state department.
9/11/01 4:30:03 PM
North Tower just went down.
9/11/01 4:30:27 PM
Oh, god. The North tower just collapsed.
9/11/01 4:30:57 PM
The second tower of the WTC has collapsed.
9/11/01 4:31:10 PM
The second WTC tower has come down.
9/11/01 4:39:32 PM
Report that part of the Pentagon has collapsed.
9/11/01 4:43:23 PM
A plane was hijacked in Pittsburgh. Another report is that a plane has
crashed in Pennsylvania, but we don't konw if it's the same one. Still haven't
heard about the plane thought to be headed toward Dulles or DC.
9/11/01 4:45:59 PM
The first plane to crash into the towers was one hijacked out of Boston on
route to LA. You have to assume that among the hijackers was someone who could
fly a jet right into a building. The hijackers were trained commercial or
military pilots, it would seem.
9/11/01 4:50:32 PM
UNBELIEVABLE!! F-16's are scrambling to intercept plane headed for
Washington
9/11/01 4:50:59 PM
They are saying a plane is headed for the Pentagon and F16s are circling
waiting for it...
9/11/01 4:52:38 PM
Anyone hear if Air Force One has landed in DC yet? My friends parents saw it
take off in Florida...
9/11/01 4:55:19 PM
They're retracting the car bomb story on ABC.
9/11/01 4:55:40 PM
One thing is clear - it took a lot of resources to pull this attack off and
time it properly -- which tends to implicate national governments. It's going to
be a real mess if it was the Palestinians.
9/11/01 4:59:03 PM
Glad to be safe here in the Middle East.
9/11/01 4:59:57 PM
I heard the other plane is now surrounded by F-16s or something; it was on
its way to DC.There had to be a hell of a lot of money and coordination
involved.
9/11/01 5:02:55 PM
Also, this isn't the work of enthusiastic amateurs, unless many more
attempts were made and failed that we haven't yet heard about. You need
professionals to pull off this kind of thing within this narrow a time window.
9/11/01 5:04:54 PM
Heard on BBC: 'An ashen-faced Arafat condemned the attack on the twin
towers...'
9/11/01 5:04:54 PM
I wonder if it's significant that today, September 11, is a holiday in
Pakistan: Jinnah Day, honoring Quaid-i-Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah, the founder and
first Governor-General of Pakistan.
9/11/01 5:06:44 PM
I think the terrorist networks could accomplish this without any help from
the Palestinian Authority, Libya, or any other government. No government would
be crazy enough to have a hand in this, it would be suicide.
9/11/01 5:06:53 PM
Someone posted on another forum that another plane crashed at Camp David.
WTF?!?
9/11/01 5:08:00 PM
Seems to me that incidents like this couldn't hurt the chances of support
for national missile defense development, if only as a corollary defensive
measure. But maybe that's just me.
9/11/01 5:08:55 PM
and if they could mount an attack like this (I smell the stench of Osama Bin
Laden)...Tom Clancy's nuke Denver scenario becomes scary real
