Ok, seems that people have been able to access the internet before me. I just got home from my school, where I had been tuned in ever since the beginning of the accidents. Here's my notes (in order that i recieved the info):
WORLD TRADE CENTER, NEW YORK ~Beginning about 8:45am, a plane crashed into one of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York. 18 minutes later, a second plane crashed into the other tower. Unfortunately, I don't have the info on the planes, except that at least one of them was a Boeing 767, flight 11 for American Airlines, going from Boston to LA. Most likely high-jacked. ~Helicopter seen circling the towers and leaving before another ball of fire rose from one of them ~stock exchange suspended indefinitely ~all airtravel in US suspended by FAA ~Feb '93, World Trade Center bombed, but rebuilt, til now ~Huge explosion in the second tower (3rd explosion there), perhaps bombs in crashed planes ~Sears Tower in Chicago evacuated for safety measures ~second tower buckles in on itself and collapses ~People seen jumping from top floor of the towers; peopls seen poking heads out of windows before collapse of the second tower ;-( ~all international flights to DC and NYC diverted to Canada ~first tower collapses ~building on Wallstreet starting to buckle under the debris, might collapse ~ over 10,000 emergency personell scramble to World Trade Center collapse PENTAGON, DC ~Pentagon hit in the army corrider on the left side of the 5th corrider by an air craft of some sort (west side of Pentagon) ~Washington mall on fire (unknown if caused by bomb or plane, etc.) ~White house and Pentagon evacuated ~white jet sited over white house before collision at Pentagon ~treasury and capitol evacuated ~state dep, UN, treasury, justice evacuated ~supposed explosion on capitol hill, never confirmed Somerset, PA- what is believed to be an airliner crashes ~Philidelphia landmarks emptied, US supreme court evacuated ~American, United Airlines lose 2 passenger jets each ~US- Mexico border closed ~NY National guard activated ~armed officers on guard outside evacuated white house ~every fed building in DC closed ~president on Air Force one, comming from a visit to a school in Florida ~is believed to be a jumbo jet that crashed into Pentagon; not confirmed yet ~Pentagon's crashed plane had been spotted earlier going up the Patomac (sp?) ~Los Angeles National Airport evacuated ~both US borders on highest state of alert ~Kennedy space center shut down ------- That is all I know... if anyone would like to add more updates, or your point of view on this, please speak up. And no, I'm not making this up, look at the news channels (got this from CNN) besides, its too crazily insane to make up... ;-( my prayers go to the relatives of the deceased and wounded, and may the terrorists who caused this BURN IN HELL. If anyone has anything to add, like I said before, please do. ------------------ Quote:

New News out of NYC, there are fears that some of the buildings surrounding the WTC are unstable and may have structural problems or collapse.

Hmmm where did you get the things about the Pentagon? Last I heard they had the fires controlled if not out and were sending people in to do search and rescue...

It is rather frustrating to be so close but not be allowed to do anything to help....on the other hand it is good that they have all the help that they can use and don't need more....

Building seven has just gone down, the fire should stop there. God help us all.
