It gives me no pleasure in posting this but can we restrict this on confirmed news of the death toll?
I hear at least 800 in the Pentagon 200+ as a result of passengers on the 4 planes. ------------------ |

10,000 -- Early number given by U.S. Rep. Jim Moran of the possible dead in the World Trade Center. An estimated 30,000 to 50,000 might have been in or near the center's twin towers when they were hit by hijacked jetliners Tuesday morning. How many of them escaped before the 110-story buildings collapsed soon after remained unknown.
800 -- High estimate for fatalities at the Pentagon, where fires raged for hours after a commercial jet slammed into it. 300 -- Firefighters feared dead in New York, most engulfed by the collapsing hulks of the twin towers of the World Trade Center, as they attempted to help victims out of the burning buildings. The total could climb much higher. 266 -- Persons aboard four jetliners, transformed by hijackers into suicide bombs, two aimed at the World Trade Center, one at the Pentagon, and one that crashed in rural Pennsylvania, which appeared to have fallen short of a target near Washington, D.C. No survivors expected. 85 -- New York City police officers thought to have died during early emergency efforts in lower Manhattan. 7 -- Known dead at New York hospitals late Tuesday. The small number provided little consolation to city authorities. Most of the dead never made it to hospitals. In all, as many as 1,400 or more are known or presumed dead, with thousands more unaccounted for and feared dead. Some 1,400 injured were admitted to New York area hospitals, many in critical condition with extensive burns. thanks to CNN ------------------ |

Other news.......
They are receiving cell phone calls from inside the rubble. That means that, God willing< there are more survivors. They had an interview of one of the nurses, and they said that they saw a hand pointing out of the rubble, they were excited, to maybe have found some body. Unfortunately, it was just a hand. There are body parts ecerywhere. We need to get the bastards that would do this!! P.S. Most of the NYC web sites are down, as of 7am this morning. ------------------ |
