Here are copies of many but not all of the posts from September 11th. Some aren't in order because of dropped threads & picked up ones. I'll pick up where I left off as I can. Hope this works.

World Trade Center Plane Crash
A plane crashed into the World Trade Center. OMG...breaking news.
Posted by Dan Murphy on 09-11-2001 01:58 PM:
Watching on TV. This is an AWFUL thing to happen. God bless the people in it.
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 01:58 PM:
Goodness... there are billows of black smoke pouring out the top of the tower, and a huge hole in the side of the building (about 3/4 the way up). They think it was a smaller plane, possibly private.
I hope there weren't too many injuries/fatalities... thank goodness it was before nine, maybe not everyone was at work yet.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 01:58 PM:
How horrible. It's on the Today Show right now.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 02:05 PM:
A second plane just crashed in too!
Posted by mickey65 on 09-11-2001 02:05 PM:
I just saw it on the news here too. Prayers to all involved.
Posted by PandyPaws on 09-11-2001 02:05 PM:
OMG!!!
I am watching right now...there are still explosions happening. This is absolutely horrible!!
Posted by Obi-Wan Pinobi on 09-11-2001 02:06 PM:
OMG another plane just hit the other one building!!!!!!
Posted by PandyPaws on 09-11-2001 02:06 PM:
Holy Moly...the explosion was in the other building..nothingto do with the plane crash...culd thi be terrorism??
Posted by jennymouse on 09-11-2001 02:07 PM:
Wow, I watched Today show until about a half hour ago......what was that about a second plane?
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:07 PM:
Oh God, this has to be terrorism! Please, everyone, start praying.
Posted by Rajah on 09-11-2001 02:08 PM:
That's the first thought that came to my mind, Pandy... a terrorist attack. Planes just crash into buildings so rarely that it being the World Trade Center is awfully suspicious, especially with a second plane following.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:08 PM:
The second explosion was definitely a plane...possibly a 727! They showed it fly into the building. I feel sick.
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 02:08 PM:
A second plane flew into the second tower, about half way down.
The eyewitnesses are saying it looked deliberate.
Posted by becka on 09-11-2001 02:11 PM:
This is terrible!
Saying a quick prayer for all involved.....
Posted by Dan Murphy on 09-11-2001 02:11 PM:
All I can say is God help those innocent people. Absolutely awful. I can't belive what I have been seeing. Please pray for these people.
Posted by Quentin Disney on 09-11-2001 02:14 PM:
I am speechless. I feel so terrible about this incident.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:14 PM:
They're saying it's a 737. And the towers are leaning.
Posted by RhondaS on 09-11-2001 02:16 PM:
Heaven help them all. This is incredibly tragic.
Posted by RhondaS on 09-11-2001 02:17 PM:
Hijackings? This is so horrible. I cannot believe this.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:18 PM:
They're saying now that possibly the first plane was a hijacked American Airlines plane, and the second plane was possibly hijacked as well.
Posted by tiggerlover on 09-11-2001 02:19 PM:
What an awful, awful thing! My prayers go out to all involved.
I am beyond frustrated, I can't access CNN or NBC or even Yahoo news. Please, please if anyone gets any more information let us know. We do not have TV access here at work.
Posted by Robinrs on 09-11-2001 02:20 PM:
This is horrible. Our news station is going crazy.
Pray for my hometown.
Posted by Patrick IL. on 09-11-2001 02:21 PM:
This is terrible, those poor people above the impact- EMS can not get to them easily
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 02:21 PM:
I am listening to our local Chicago radio station and they have CBS in New York cut in so we are getting live on this since I'm at work and can't see a TV. They are saying that the speculation could be terrorism...but the don't know. The day is clear....
These towers are 110 stories high. They are both on fire....they hit 18 minutes apart.
How tragic...this is absolutely horrible!!!!
Posted by TennVolTony on 09-11-2001 02:22 PM:
Pentagon has confirmed this as a terrorist attack. Where is our military? We need fighters in the air around this area........God help these innocent lives.......
Posted by PandyPaws on 09-11-2001 02:27 PM:
This is just absolutely horrible....I am speechless!
Stamford is about 30 miles away...and I can hear helicopters outside
Airports and inbound bridges are closed....
repeatng TVT...where is the military???
Posted by sydally9367 on 09-11-2001 02:27 PM:
I am in NY (not near the city but close) and was sitting on the couch right before Nine and heard huge blasts--thought it was something on the military base I am on--but now realize it was something much much worse. They have put West Point on code red since we are one of the closest Army bases to NYC and since it was a terrorist attack.....saying a prayer for all involved, all families..everyone? How can we make it through yet another Oklahoma City???
Posted by Brisully on 09-11-2001 02:28 PM:
What do you mean military? What are they going to do, shoot down a civilian plane??? This is tragic, but lets not overreact.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:32 PM:
Now they're saying one plane was a Boston to LA plane that was hijacked.
Posted by DixieDreamer on 09-11-2001 02:32 PM:
This is just awful. I am signing off to go watch the news.
Posted by sydally9367 on 09-11-2001 02:32 PM:
AOL News ticker has a small story on the WTC tragedy---it has very little details but seeing as no-one can get into any other news sites, this is at least something...
Posted by Obi-Wan Pinobi on 09-11-2001 02:33 PM:
There is nothing the military can do over heavily populated areas like NYC. Imagine what would happen if a jumbo jet was shot down over the city?
Posted by tiggerlover on 09-11-2001 02:33 PM:
December, that would explain why I can't get any information here.
Posted by NHAnn on 09-11-2001 02:40 PM:
OMG
This is so scary ....these images on TV look like eerily like disaster-end-of-civilization movies, but it's real . Those poor people, and the families affected, and the emergency workers. It's overwhelmingly tragic.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 02:41 PM:
There apparently is a military airplane in the area now. I guess they are hoping that this will scare off any further attacks.
Posted by Blondie on 09-11-2001 02:41 PM:
Watching in horror right now.
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 02:41 PM:
They just put the Chicago Police on standby and workers have been given the option to leave the Sears Tower today given the events that have just unfolded in NY. The airports are under a heightened state of security at both O'Hare and Midway.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:41 PM:
Possible explosion at the Pentagon? Jim Miklaszewski is at the Pentagon...heard a possible explosion, building shook...security running around...no details.

News from outside the USA
I am managing to get some news from the bbc and Sky News, http://news.bbc.co.uk
http://www.skynews.co.uk/skynews/home
Skynews have some awful photographs, and both have video footage, although I can't access it. Might help those with no access to news at the moment,

Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 02:52 PM:
A Palastinian group has taken claim for the World Trade Center crashes... of course, that isn't confirmed.
There has been an explosion at the Pentagon... huge smoke billows coming out of it.
The White House has been evacuated.
The FAA has halted ALL takeoffs nationwide.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 02:52 PM:
All flights in the country are now cancelled. White House is being evacuated. There is a bad fire at the Pentagon.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 02:55 PM:
CNN says that a plane hit the pentagon.
Posted by Obi-Wan Pinobi on 09-11-2001 02:59 PM:
It wouldn't surprise me to learn this is tied to that racism conference the US and Israel walked out on.
Posted by denisenh on 09-11-2001 03:01 PM:
another huge explosion in the second tower....trying to help keeps updates for folks without TV
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 03:01 PM:
They are saying that a third plane was headed for NY and possibly this is now the plane that headed for DC after the other two hit NY.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 03:02 PM:
The second building just collapsed on itself
Posted by Sonya on 09-11-2001 03:02 PM:
One of the buildings just collapsed. OMG
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 03:02 PM:
I just heard that a second explosion has gone off on one of the towers....I repeat...a second explosion....now they are saying that one of the towers has collapsed!!!
Posted by Teejay32 on 09-11-2001 03:04 PM:
10am, one of the towers is gone. all gone.
Triage centers being set up...
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 03:04 PM:
It does appear to be a plane crash at the Pentagon.
Posted by DisneyHumbug on 09-11-2001 03:09 PM:
I waas able to get thru to my brother on Wall Street - he is 4 blocks away - they are ok, but don't know how they are going to get out of there.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 03:30 PM:
OMG! The other building just collapsed!
Posted by grunger182 on 09-11-2001 03:37 PM:
Just watching live news pictures from NY as both towers collapse....I send all my prayers to all of you. I'm in the UK but DD has a friend who had recently moved out to live in NY. Keep her in your thoughts too please....so shocking.....its just heartbreaking, all those poor people.
Posted by villainwdw on 09-11-2001 03:39 PM:
I am sure tis is old news....767 out of Boston to LAX....man..that is one big plane!
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 03:39 PM:
Both of the twin towers in the World Trade Center have collapsed... they are gone.
A car bomb exploded outside the state department.
And I've heard a report that there has been an explosion in the capital building as well, but am unsure if that's true.
Posted by Angeluk on 09-11-2001 03:41 PM:
They've just said on BBC news that another hi-jacked plane is on its way to washington, being tracked by a military plane...don't know how true that is....God be with all of you.
Posted by Fantasia Girl on 09-11-2001 03:42 PM:
OMG!! This is VERY scary!!
Posted by denisenh on 09-11-2001 03:46 PM:
would the military shoot down a hi jacked jet?? there are 2 missing hijacked planes, I pray for the passengers.
Posted by CarolA on 09-11-2001 03:48 PM:
Peter Jennings indicated that there are 2 missing planes after the planes were grounded. Of course, probably half of what is being reported is rumors.
My local station is saying that a large plane crashed just south of Pittsburg. It was a big plane (but I missed the type!)
Posted by Sandra B. on 09-11-2001 03:48 PM:
OMG - This is horrible! I'm at work and we don't have a tv here, but I'm following the news on the radio (can't get through to the news sites). I'm praying for you, hope you and your loved ones are safe! Can't believe this.....
Posted by Debi on 09-11-2001 03:51 PM:
This is horrible news! {{Hugs}} to everyone in the NY/Washington area. This is so tragic and scary!
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 03:54 PM:
A Boeing 767 crashed in Somerset County in Pennsylvania... they don't know that it's related, of course.
Posted by Rajah on 09-11-2001 03:55 PM:
It was also a 767 that crashed into the Pentagon.
What's with all the 767s?
Posted by shep on 09-11-2001 03:55 PM:
How big are the 767's???
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 03:57 PM:
Federal Protective Services are reporting that there was NO car bomb at the State building.
Posted by Tiger Fan on 09-11-2001 03:59 PM:
I have been glued to the tv all morning. I did go check on my little one at pre-school. This is so upsetting.
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 03:59 PM:
Depending on the configuration, the 767 can seat between 180 and 300 passengers. They're calling it a fairly large plane.
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 04:00 PM:
The FBI is now trying to confirm reports from the FAA that a United Airlines plane has crashed in the vicinity of Camp David.
Bush is in flight to Andrews... they're trying to decide where to take him, and what to do with Congress.

Refinery closing in B.R. Louisiana
I live in Southern Louisiana and have just heard that they have closed the Exxon Refinery here in Baton Rouge. This is the most horrible thing that I have ever seen. Please pray for everyone in the United States right now. I work at a chemical plant and hope that they send us home soon.

A plane just crashed into the World Trade Center
A plane just crashed into the World Trade Center! Now another one just did too! The top of the building is collapsing inwards. I can see it from the window of my office building!
I'm going to go look, I'll keep you posted
becka
I didn't realize you were that close to the WTC....please be careful.
Posted by MinnieMe2 on 09-11-2001 02:17 PM:
I caught the tail end of the news report on my radio in the office (it's busy here), and I knew I could find out exactly what happened in NYC by checking the DIS. They're not sure how many have been killed. This is unbelievable....

Posted by Mskanga on 09-11-2001 02:19 PM:
Two planes crashed and the FBI is not investigating reports of plane hijack , all I can say is I have chills going down my spine, I can stop shaking and thinking of all those poor people onboard.....Let's say a big prayer for them and for all the victims on the ground too.
My prayers for all those relatives going through such a horrific time now.
Here is mine hoping for the best!

i just tuned in to CNN after my DH called and saw the second plane hit! I'm concerned too that it is a terrorist attack...oh my prayers for the people inside.....
Posted by Dan Murphy on 09-11-2001 02:14 PM:
tiggerlover, go to www.cnn.com
Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:16 PM:
Tony -- I saw the second. It must be terrorism. Pray for all of us.
Posted by becka on 09-11-2001 02:17 PM:
My husband just called me to let me know what was going on. I can't seem to get on the news websites (CNN,MSNBC,etc.) because I guess they are too busy.
Praying for everyone involved....
Posted by ripleysmom on 09-11-2001 02:18 PM:
Yes it is an attack. The first crash could be explained, The second cannot.
Posted by Redmic on 09-11-2001 02:19 PM:
I am shaking watching this! They just said there was a hijacking shortly before the attack! It wa a 737!
Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:21 PM:
Unconfirmed reports now that these planes were hijacked to commit this attack. Unprovoked attacks. The question is by whom?
Posted by MinnieMe2 on 09-11-2001 02:24 PM:
I've been trying to get into the major network sites, but traffic's so heavy I'm being blocked. This is just awful. Prayers and PD for all who had the misfortune to be part of this tragedy....
Posted by TennVolTony on 09-11-2001 02:26 PM:
Oslama BinLaden!!!!!! They think his group is responsible. The President is here in Florida....they are brining him back to Washington now......Time to end this threat from this group once and for all!!!!!!!!!!!! This saddens me and ANGERS ME!!!
Posted by wdw4us on 09-11-2001 02:29 PM:
Tony, please keep us updated, we can't get it on the major networkw websites and I can't get to a TV. Thanks.
denise
Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:32 PM:
Yeah BinLaden would be my guess, too but after Oklahoma we have to be sure. And then we have to ACT! These are commercial airliners (must have been hijacked). All NY area airports have been shut down until they know what is going on. They claim they had no intelligence on this attack. Bush is on now. Got to go.
My admiration and respect go out to all our military personnel. We need you now.
The only thing I can compare this to is the feeling that people must have had when they heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Posted by allicat on 09-11-2001 02:33 PM:
Terrorism
Clearly, terrorism! Two planes flew directly into the buildings!!!
I heard on the news(unconfirmed) that 2 American Airlines 757 planes were hijacked from Newark airport!!
My friends husband works right there and thank god is ok. He said there is total chaos and it is raining down burning pieces of paper and other things.
Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:33 PM:
Bush confirmed it is a terrorist attack with two aircraft.
Also heard they are putting the emergency plan into effect in NYC evacuating all government buildings. They expect other major cities may follow.
Posted by TennVolTony on 09-11-2001 02:34 PM:
One of the planes was a highjacked American Airlines flight from Boston to L.A......
Posted by sydally9367 on 09-11-2001 02:36 PM:
what the heck is this Armageddon?? There are MP's (military police) all over West Point(military training area/school)where I live-they have closed all gates coming into and coming off of the post here--we are all on a high security alert here.......

It appears to have been a BOMB at the heliport at the Pentagon.......

Is the U.S. under a full fledged attack?
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:44 PM:
They're not sure if it was an actual explosion...OMG, they are showing the Pentagon billowing with smoke...but they're saying it appears to be a bomb detonated at the heliport next to the Pentagon. Seems to be a significant blast.
Posted by dcgrumpy on 09-11-2001 02:46 PM:
unconfirmed reports that it was also a plane crash
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:46 PM:
Unconfirmed reports that THAT explosion was a plane as well.
Posted by Rajah on 09-11-2001 02:48 PM:
For some reason, the attack on the WTC doesn't scare me. Angers, yes, saddens, yes, scares, no. The attack on the pentagon following right after the attack on the WTC, however, does.
I'm also hearing sirens outside, and it's really starting to make me nervous. If it's a full-blown attack, how long will it be before NASA buildings are a target... what's next? WTC and Pentagon are obvious... White House (which they're already evacuating just to be safe) would be a target... what next?

Posted by SeaSpray on 09-11-2001 02:54 PM:
I think they should be evacuating all major cities right about now... especially now that the Pentagon's been attacked, too. It's obvious they (whoever they are) are hitting us again and again.
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 02:55 PM:
The report here on our news from Chicago has said that they are given the workers a voluntary leave today from the Sears Tower....but now they ARE getting all cars and everything away from the Sears Tower to make sure that these cars are legible.

These are all airplanes being hijacked. What is the point of airport security!?? I am mad, scared and saddened all at once.
Posted by Teejay32 on 09-11-2001 02:52 PM:
Airports around the country are closed as of now.....
Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:54 PM:
Shep -- They are backing off the White House statement now. They think it was the smoke from the Pentagon fire. They are evacuating the Capital the Treasuryl, etc.
Posted by denisenh on 09-11-2001 02:55 PM:
what the heck is going on???!!! This is just unbelieveable!! I didn't know this country was so vunerable to this type of thing! I don't know what I thought but I thought we had some protection. Is this the start of a war or something? I am afraid. I am so sad for the people closely affected by this. This is a sad day. : ( prayers being said big time
Posted by Blondie on 09-11-2001 02:58 PM:
I think they're evacuating ALL federal buildings!
I was discussing the issues at hand, and he interrupted me to attend a meeting.
I think they're pulling everyone out of federal facilities!

The hijacked plane was apparently
an American Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles. Not official info delivered to our news office.

Turn on your national news My office is just outside of downtown Manhattan and a place
has just hit the World Trade Center ! The top is in flames...this is not a joke!
I'm calling my daughter's school. Many of their parents work there. Oh, god!
What a nightmare! I'm shaking uncontrolably

Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:15 PM:
Pray for all of us. This must be a terrorist attack. TWO planes have hit -- one in each tower. Pray for our President Bush and all of our leaders to know how to respond. And pray for the innocent who have just lost their lives. Pray for protection from what is next. This is the horrible. Possibly worse than Oklahoma. I just don't know how to even respond.

Can't get a phone call through to anyone I know who works in
the building or in downtown Manhattan. Everyone wants to reach their neighbors

The Pentagon bombing is now confirmed to have been another aircraft
of some kind. No more desparate illusions that this was anything other
than coordinated, plotted terrorism.

WHO WOULD DO THIS. MY GOD IS THIS WORLD CRAZY.
Posted by CamColt on 09-11-2001 02:53 PM:
That is exactly how I feel. I am looking at all these threads here and watching the news, and I just have no idea what to say or think. This is crazy! You have to wonder with todays technology and all the security measures taken everywhere, HOW can this happen? This is just so unbelievable!!!
Posted by SeaSpray on 09-11-2001 02:57 PM:
I agree, Cam... How did they get onto the plane in the first place? I guess these questions will hopefully be answered eventually We use Logan all the time and I thought we were relatively safe from something like hijackers
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 02:59 PM:
I'm beginning to feel sick to my stomach too....now that more and more are being involved...they just said that a third plane was on it's way to NY so perhaps it went on to DC. I am now realizing how many people this is being affected and that now there could be military involved which I have relatives involved in.
Posted by CamColt on 09-11-2001 03:16 PM:
Im flying out of Logan in 2 weeks! I wonder what kind of security measures will be taken after today. Hopefully some pretty good ones.

The news was reporting that there was a fire on the Capital Mall. My first thought was a hijacking that didn't hit it's target.

Why? Because shutting down the WTC and the Pentagon does a pretty good job of shutting down this country for a short period of time?

the vision of that 2nd plane (jet) slam into the WTC will be engraved in my memory forever, how horrific and bless the people and their families of those on that doomed plane and in those towers and the people lost on the ground as well.

A Soldier's Prayer(needed today)
DH is in the Army and this prayer remains on my fridge at all times-thought today would be a good day to share----
A Soldier's Prayer
Father in Heaven, I am in need of your embrace.
I have given myself to you for you have known me before my birth and you have loved me from all time.
Now I am called to defend the defenseless, to insure justice for the oppressed and to free those unjustly held captive.
I believe all life is scared and I yearn for the day when "swords will be turned into plowshares"
It is not my desire to bears arms against my brothers and sisters, but evil surrounds the innocent and I must follow my conscience and be willing to face those who seek and destroy the dignity that you have gifted all Men and Women with.
Fill me with your grace that I may never glorify War but strive always to bring about a universal community of love and acceptance.
Watch over my companions, release us from fear and protect us in your love, Amen
Kindly say prayers for servicemembers all over the World today, for families of the soldiers, families involved in all the tragedies today, and for America

When we let our guard down.
I've always been pro military (having come from a military family) and always shook my head in disbelief when our President would cut military/weapons funding.
I'm not saying that any of this could've been prevented, but we, our children, and our grandchildren will all remember this day, September 11, 2001

World Trade Center Plane Crash
A plane crashed into the World Trade Center. OMG...breaking news.
Posted by Dan Murphy on 09-11-2001 01:58 PM:
Watching on TV. This is an AWFUL thing to happen. God bless the people in it.
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 01:58 PM:
Goodness... there are billows of black smoke pouring out the top of the tower, and a huge hole in the side of the building (about 3/4 the way up). They think it was a smaller plane, possibly private.
I hope there weren't too many injuries/fatalities... thank goodness it was before nine, maybe not everyone was at work yet.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 01:58 PM:
How horrible. It's on the Today Show right now.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 02:05 PM:
A second plane just crashed in too!
Posted by mickey65 on 09-11-2001 02:05 PM:
I just saw it on the news here too. Prayers to all involved.
Posted by PandyPaws on 09-11-2001 02:05 PM:
OMG!!!
I am watching right now...there are still explosions happening. This is absolutely horrible!!
Posted by Obi-Wan Pinobi on 09-11-2001 02:06 PM:
OMG another plane just hit the other one building!!!!!!
Posted by PandyPaws on 09-11-2001 02:06 PM:
Holy Moly...the explosion was in the other building..nothingto do with the plane crash...culd thi be terrorism??
Posted by jennymouse on 09-11-2001 02:07 PM:
Wow, I watched Today show until about a half hour ago......what was that about a second plane?
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:07 PM:
Oh God, this has to be terrorism! Please, everyone, start praying.
Posted by Rajah on 09-11-2001 02:08 PM:
That's the first thought that came to my mind, Pandy... a terrorist attack. Planes just crash into buildings so rarely that it being the World Trade Center is awfully suspicious, especially with a second plane following.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:08 PM:
The second explosion was definitely a plane...possibly a 727! They showed it fly into the building. I feel sick.
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 02:08 PM:
A second plane flew into the second tower, about half way down.
The eyewitnesses are saying it looked deliberate.
Posted by becka on 09-11-2001 02:11 PM:
This is terrible!
Saying a quick prayer for all involved.....
Posted by Dan Murphy on 09-11-2001 02:11 PM:
All I can say is God help those innocent people. Absolutely awful. I can't belive what I have been seeing. Please pray for these people.
Posted by Quentin Disney on 09-11-2001 02:14 PM:
I am speechless. I feel so terrible about this incident.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:14 PM:
They're saying it's a 737. And the towers are leaning.
Posted by RhondaS on 09-11-2001 02:16 PM:
Heaven help them all. This is incredibly tragic.
Posted by RhondaS on 09-11-2001 02:17 PM:
Hijackings? This is so horrible. I cannot believe this.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:18 PM:
They're saying now that possibly the first plane was a hijacked American Airlines plane, and the second plane was possibly hijacked as well.
Posted by tiggerlover on 09-11-2001 02:19 PM:
What an awful, awful thing! My prayers go out to all involved.
I am beyond frustrated, I can't access CNN or NBC or even Yahoo news. Please, please if anyone gets any more information let us know. We do not have TV access here at work.
Posted by Robinrs on 09-11-2001 02:20 PM:
This is horrible. Our news station is going crazy.
Pray for my hometown.
Posted by Patrick IL. on 09-11-2001 02:21 PM:
This is terrible, those poor people above the impact- EMS can not get to them easily
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 02:21 PM:
I am listening to our local Chicago radio station and they have CBS in New York cut in so we are getting live on this since I'm at work and can't see a TV. They are saying that the speculation could be terrorism...but the don't know. The day is clear....
These towers are 110 stories high. They are both on fire....they hit 18 minutes apart.
How tragic...this is absolutely horrible!!!!
Posted by TennVolTony on 09-11-2001 02:22 PM:
Pentagon has confirmed this as a terrorist attack. Where is our military? We need fighters in the air around this area........God help these innocent lives.......
Posted by PandyPaws on 09-11-2001 02:27 PM:
This is just absolutely horrible....I am speechless!
Stamford is about 30 miles away...and I can hear helicopters outside
Airports and inbound bridges are closed....
repeatng TVT...where is the military???
Posted by sydally9367 on 09-11-2001 02:27 PM:
I am in NY (not near the city but close) and was sitting on the couch right before Nine and heard huge blasts--thought it was something on the military base I am on--but now realize it was something much much worse. They have put West Point on code red since we are one of the closest Army bases to NYC and since it was a terrorist attack.....saying a prayer for all involved, all families..everyone? How can we make it through yet another Oklahoma City???
Posted by Brisully on 09-11-2001 02:28 PM:
What do you mean military? What are they going to do, shoot down a civilian plane??? This is tragic, but lets not overreact.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:32 PM:
Now they're saying one plane was a Boston to LA plane that was hijacked.
Posted by DixieDreamer on 09-11-2001 02:32 PM:
This is just awful. I am signing off to go watch the news.
Posted by sydally9367 on 09-11-2001 02:32 PM:
AOL News ticker has a small story on the WTC tragedy---it has very little details but seeing as no-one can get into any other news sites, this is at least something...
Posted by Obi-Wan Pinobi on 09-11-2001 02:33 PM:
There is nothing the military can do over heavily populated areas like NYC. Imagine what would happen if a jumbo jet was shot down over the city?
Posted by tiggerlover on 09-11-2001 02:33 PM:
December, that would explain why I can't get any information here.
Posted by NHAnn on 09-11-2001 02:40 PM:
OMG
This is so scary ....these images on TV look like eerily like disaster-end-of-civilization movies, but it's real . Those poor people, and the families affected, and the emergency workers. It's overwhelmingly tragic.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 02:41 PM:
There apparently is a military airplane in the area now. I guess they are hoping that this will scare off any further attacks.
Posted by Blondie on 09-11-2001 02:41 PM:
Watching in horror right now.
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 02:41 PM:
They just put the Chicago Police on standby and workers have been given the option to leave the Sears Tower today given the events that have just unfolded in NY. The airports are under a heightened state of security at both O'Hare and Midway.
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:41 PM:
Possible explosion at the Pentagon? Jim Miklaszewski is at the Pentagon...heard a possible explosion, building shook...security running around...no details.

A Palastinian group has taken claim for the World Trade Center crashes... of course, that isn't confirmed.
There has been an explosion at the Pentagon... huge smoke billows coming out of it.
The White House has been evacuated.
The FAA has halted ALL takeoffs nationwide.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 02:52 PM:
All flights in the country are now cancelled. White House is being evacuated. There is a bad fire at the Pentagon.
Posted by Baboo on 09-11-2001 02:55 PM:
CNN says that a plane hit the pentagon.
Posted by Obi-Wan Pinobi on 09-11-2001 02:59 PM:
It wouldn't surprise me to learn this is tied to that racism conference the US and Israel walked out on.
Posted by denisenh on 09-11-2001 03:01 PM:
another huge explosion in the second tower....trying to help keeps updates for folks without TV
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 03:01 PM:
They are saying that a third plane was headed for NY and possibly this is now the plane that headed for DC after the other two hit NY.

10am, one of the towers is gone. all gone.

Just watching live news pictures from NY as both towers collapse....I send all my prayers to all of you. I'm in the UK but DD has a friend who had recently moved out to live in NY. Keep her in your thoughts too please....so shocking.....its just heartbreaking, all those poor people.
Posted by villainwdw on 09-11-2001 03:39 PM:
I am sure tis is old news....767 out of Boston to LAX....man..that is one big plane!
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 03:39 PM:
Both of the twin towers in the World Trade Center have collapsed... they are gone.
A car bomb exploded outside the state department.
And I've heard a report that there has been an explosion in the capital building as well, but am unsure if that's true.
Posted by Angeluk on 09-11-2001 03:41 PM:
They've just said on BBC news that another hi-jacked plane is on its way to washington, being tracked by a military plane...don't know how true that is....God be with all of you.

OMG!! This is VERY scary!!
Posted by denisenh on 09-11-2001 03:46 PM:
would the military shoot down a hi jacked jet?? there are 2 missing hijacked planes, I pray for the passengers.
Posted by CarolA on 09-11-2001 03:48 PM:
Peter Jennings indicated that there are 2 missing planes after the planes were grounded. Of course, probably half of what is being reported is rumors.
My local station is saying that a large plane crashed just south of Pittsburg. It was a big plane (but I missed the type!)
Posted by Sandra B. on 09-11-2001 03:48 PM:
OMG - This is horrible! I'm at work and we don't have a tv here, but I'm following the news on the radio (can't get through to the news sites). I'm praying for you, hope you and your loved ones are safe! Can't believe this.....
Posted by Debi on 09-11-2001 03:51 PM:
This is horrible news! {{Hugs}} to everyone in the NY/Washington area. This is so tragic and scary!

A Boeing 767 crashed in Somerset County in Pennsylvania... they don't know that it's related, of course.
Posted by Rajah on 09-11-2001 03:55 PM:
It was also a 767 that crashed into the Pentagon.
What's with all the 767s?
Posted by shep on 09-11-2001 03:55 PM:
How big are the 767's???
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 03:57 PM:
Federal Protective Services are reporting that there was NO car bomb at the State building.
Posted by Tiger Fan on 09-11-2001 03:59 PM:
I have been glued to the tv all morning. I did go check on my little one at pre-school. This is so upsetting.
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 03:59 PM:
Depending on the configuration, the 767 can seat between 180 and 300 passengers. They're calling it a fairly large plane.
Posted by dizneegirl on 09-11-2001 04:00 PM:
The FBI is now trying to confirm reports from the FAA that a United Airlines plane has crashed in the vicinity of Camp David.
Bush is in flight to Andrews... they're trying to decide where to take him, and what to do with Congress.

I didn't realize you were that close to the WTC....please be careful.
Posted by MinnieMe2 on 09-11-2001 02:17 PM:
I caught the tail end of the news report on my radio in the office (it's busy here), and I knew I could find out exactly what happened in NYC by checking the DIS. They're not sure how many have been killed. This is unbelievable....

Two planes crashed and the FBI is not investigating reports of plane hijack , all I can say is I have chills going down my spine, I can stop shaking and thinking of all those poor people onboard.....Let's say a big prayer for them and for all the victims on the ground too.
My prayers for all those relatives going through such a horrific time now.
Here is mine hoping for the best!

Yes it is an attack. The first crash could be explained, The second cannot.
Posted by Redmic on 09-11-2001 02:19 PM:
I am shaking watching this! They just said there was a hijacking shortly before the attack! It wa a 737!
Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:21 PM:
Unconfirmed reports now that these planes were hijacked to commit this attack. Unprovoked attacks. The question is by whom?
Posted by MinnieMe2 on 09-11-2001 02:24 PM:
I've been trying to get into the major network sites, but traffic's so heavy I'm being blocked. This is just awful. Prayers and PD for all who had the misfortune to be part of this tragedy....

Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:32 PM:
Yeah BinLaden would be my guess, too but after Oklahoma we have to be sure. And then we have to ACT! These are commercial airliners (must have been hijacked). All NY area airports have been shut down until they know what is going on. They claim they had no intelligence on this attack. Bush is on now. Got to go.
My admiration and respect go out to all our military personnel. We need you now.
The only thing I can compare this to is the feeling that people must have had when they heard about the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Posted by allicat on 09-11-2001 02:33 PM:
Terrorism
Clearly, terrorism! Two planes flew directly into the buildings!!!
I heard on the news(unconfirmed) that 2 American Airlines 757 planes were hijacked from Newark airport!!
My friends husband works right there and thank god is ok. He said there is total chaos and it is raining down burning pieces of paper and other things.
Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:33 PM:
Bush confirmed it is a terrorist attack with two aircraft.
Also heard they are putting the emergency plan into effect in NYC evacuating all government buildings. They expect other major cities may follow.
Posted by TennVolTony on 09-11-2001 02:34 PM:
One of the planes was a highjacked American Airlines flight from Boston to L.A......

They're not sure if it was an actual explosion...OMG, they are showing the Pentagon billowing with smoke...but they're saying it appears to be a bomb detonated at the heliport next to the Pentagon. Seems to be a significant blast.
Posted by dcgrumpy on 09-11-2001 02:46 PM:
unconfirmed reports that it was also a plane crash
Posted by MaryAnnDVC on 09-11-2001 02:46 PM:
Unconfirmed reports that THAT explosion was a plane as well.
Posted by Rajah on 09-11-2001 02:48 PM:
For some reason, the attack on the WTC doesn't scare me. Angers, yes, saddens, yes, scares, no. The attack on the pentagon following right after the attack on the WTC, however, does.
I'm also hearing sirens outside, and it's really starting to make me nervous. If it's a full-blown attack, how long will it be before NASA buildings are a target... what's next? WTC and Pentagon are obvious... White House (which they're already evacuating just to be safe) would be a target... what next?

I think they should be evacuating all major cities right about now... especially now that the Pentagon's been attacked, too. It's obvious they (whoever they are) are hitting us again and again.
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 02:55 PM:
The report here on our news from Chicago has said that they are given the workers a voluntary leave today from the Sears Tower....but now they ARE getting all cars and everything away from the Sears Tower to make sure that these cars are legible.

Shep -- They are backing off the White House statement now. They think it was the smoke from the Pentagon fire. They are evacuating the Capital the Treasuryl, etc.
Posted by denisenh on 09-11-2001 02:55 PM:
what the heck is going on???!!! This is just unbelieveable!! I didn't know this country was so vunerable to this type of thing! I don't know what I thought but I thought we had some protection. Is this the start of a war or something? I am afraid. I am so sad for the people closely affected by this. This is a sad day. : ( prayers being said big time
Posted by Blondie on 09-11-2001 02:58 PM:
I think they're evacuating ALL federal buildings!
I was discussing the issues at hand, and he interrupted me to attend a meeting.
I think they're pulling everyone out of federal facilities!

News Alert - WTC terrorism hits home
Turn on your national news My office is just outside of downtown Manhattan and a place
has just hit the World Trade Center ! The top is in flames...this is not a joke!
I'm calling my daughter's school. Many of their parents work there. Oh, god!
What a nightmare! I'm shaking uncontrolably

Posted by PamOKW on 09-11-2001 02:15 PM:
Pray for all of us. This must be a terrorist attack. TWO planes have hit -- one in each tower. Pray for our President Bush and all of our leaders to know how to respond. And pray for the innocent who have just lost their lives. Pray for protection from what is next. This is the horrible. Possibly worse than Oklahoma. I just don't know how to even respond.

Can't get a phone call through to anyone I know who works in
the building or in downtown Manhattan. Everyone wants to reach their neighbors

The Pentagon bombing is now confirmed to have been another aircraft
of some kind. No more desparate illusions that this was anything other
than coordinated, plotted terrorism.

WHO WOULD DO THIS. MY GOD IS THIS WORLD CRAZY.
Posted by CamColt on 09-11-2001 02:53 PM:
That is exactly how I feel. I am looking at all these threads here and watching the news, and I just have no idea what to say or think. This is crazy! You have to wonder with todays technology and all the security measures taken everywhere, HOW can this happen? This is just so unbelievable!!!
Posted by SeaSpray on 09-11-2001 02:57 PM:
I agree, Cam... How did they get onto the plane in the first place? I guess these questions will hopefully be answered eventually We use Logan all the time and I thought we were relatively safe from something like hijackers
Posted by December99 on 09-11-2001 02:59 PM:
I'm beginning to feel sick to my stomach too....now that more and more are being involved...they just said that a third plane was on it's way to NY so perhaps it went on to DC. I am now realizing how many people this is being affected and that now there could be military involved which I have relatives involved in.
Posted by CamColt on 09-11-2001 03:16 PM:
Im flying out of Logan in 2 weeks! I wonder what kind of security measures will be taken after today. Hopefully some pretty good ones.

Why? Because shutting down the WTC and the Pentagon does a pretty good job of shutting down this country for a short period of time?

the vision of that 2nd plane (jet) slam into the WTC will be engraved in my memory forever, how horrific and bless the people and their families of those on that doomed plane and in those towers and the people lost on the ground as well.

A Soldier's Prayer(needed today)
DH is in the Army and this prayer remains on my fridge at all times-thought today would be a good day to share----
A Soldier's Prayer
Father in Heaven, I am in need of your embrace.
I have given myself to you for you have known me before my birth and you have loved me from all time.
Now I am called to defend the defenseless, to insure justice for the oppressed and to free those unjustly held captive.
I believe all life is scared and I yearn for the day when "swords will be turned into plowshares"
It is not my desire to bears arms against my brothers and sisters, but evil surrounds the innocent and I must follow my conscience and be willing to face those who seek and destroy the dignity that you have gifted all Men and Women with.
Fill me with your grace that I may never glorify War but strive always to bring about a universal community of love and acceptance.
Watch over my companions, release us from fear and protect us in your love, Amen
Kindly say prayers for servicemembers all over the World today, for families of the soldiers, families involved in all the tragedies today, and for America
Posted by MerryPoppins on 09-11-2001 03:37 PM:

When we let our guard down.
I've always been pro military (having come from a military family) and always shook my head in disbelief when our President would cut military/weapons funding.
I'm not saying that any of this could've been prevented, but we, our children, and our grandchildren will all remember this day, September 11, 2001
