Going offline. Billowing smoke at **The Pentagon**. Well-wishes to NYC Dopers and the people in the buildings. Curses to whoever is responsible for this. ---

OMG!! I am feeling very sick to my stomach right now. I can’t believe this has happened. The pictures are frightening and that the Prez spoke so quickly points to some stuff getting worse before it gets better. The victims & their familys are in my thoughts. ---

Palestinian DFLP on Abu Dhabi tv is claiming responsibility. At least they are the first to claim so. ---

A palestinian group are apparently claiming responsibility but the BBC are saying they’re unlikely to come forward so quickly. Shit! Just seen the pentagon on TV. They’re evacuating the Whitehouse now. This doesn’t seem real. ---

This sounds like the work of Osama Bin Laden. So well organized, especially if it got the Pentagon. There evacuating the White House, but may just be a precaution. ---

Whoever did it has attacked each and every American citizen. It could have been any of us if we were in a high enough profile place. ---

I can’t believe this. They say it was probably another plane crash at the pentagon, as well. Evacuating the whitehouse, the pentagon, sirens going off, my God. The NBC newsman is IN the pentagon reporting right now, thatr’s journalistic integrity, right there. They just confirmed one of the WTC planes WAS a hijack. ---

Christ! I’m a 15-minute walk from the Pentagon and go thru the bus terminal there to get home! Hope we’re not next.
