It happened hopefully before many people went to work, before and around 9:00AM.

They do believe it is deliberate. The planes had no troubles and you could see the 2nd plane bank right into the tower.

I feel very bad right now.

AngelofDeath 09-11-2001 09:21 AM

Word is, that it's suicide bombings. Can you belive this???

I just heard about it on the radio on the way to work, was coming to verify it online. It's pretty bad business. I thought it was a joke the DJ's were pulling; it sounded too "King-Kongish" for words... Undoubtedly, they're saying, it's a terrorist act of some sort.

I'll keep looking periodically for more news on it.

I'm watching the news about it as well, it is shocking, especially the SECOND plane! They are speculating that one or both of these planes were hijacked. I hope that there aren't too many injuries or deaths. Isn't Yorick in Manhattan? Hope he is OK and was well away from the World Trade Center.

I hear the President is about to speak concerning this tragedy.

Mark

Memnoch 09-11-2001 09:34 AM

This is still happening as we speak. It is believed that the second plane may have been hijacked.

<font color="yellow">
NEW YORK (CNN) -- What appeared to be two passenger planes crashed into the World Trade Center towers in Manhattan on Tuesday, leaving both towers in flames.

About 18 minutes after the first plane hit the northern tower, a second plane slammed into the southern tower, erupting into a huge fireball. The harrowing images were caught in live video.

Live pictures showed a gaping hole on the side of the northern building, several stories down from the top. Black smoke was billowing from at least two sides.

The second crash hit the second tower several stories lower than the first in a huge burst of flame.

Sean Murtagh, a CNN vice president, was in an office near the World Trade Center towers at the time of the first crash. He witnessed the crash.

"It was a jet, looked like a two-engine jet," Murtagh said. "It looked like maybe a 737."

Murtagh said he saw the plane "teetering back and forth, wingtip to wingtip" before the plane smashed into the side of the building.

Jeanne Yurman witnessed the explosion that followed the crash.

"At first it was like leaflets," she said, describing the debris that fell to the ground. "There was tons of debris and it continues to fall out."

Yurman said she did not see the plane.

I am watching it now, as well.
International trady (my major) will be hurting for a while.
I hope those people in the towers did not see death coming at them.
How horrible it would be to see that.

Do only Americans work there, or are there representatives from other nations, as well??

A third plane is still un-accounted for. It seems a Palestinian group is claiming responsibility.

Bryant Gumble started to report 2 more planes head for the towers, which turned out to be helicopters....

Pentagon may have just been attacked!

There has been a report of a plane hitting the pentagon, this has not been confirmed and a third aircraft has been hijacked(has not been confirmed either).

I've heard some of it on the radio. Tried to get into CNN, but there is too much traffic. Bush came on and was giving his condolences to those hit in the towers when shortly after the pentagon was hit. Really sad.

They just said they were evacuating the white house too.
