World Trade Center Plane Crash

Hi. Haven’t read the whole thread and hope you will forgive me. I’m in NYC and my friend Amy is down there near, or in, the Towers and my mom’s best friend’s daughter too. I can’t dial out of my office and I can’t reach Amy (cell network seems overloaded).

One friend with whom I have contact on AIM is telling me she’s heard that “they” are telling people to move as far north in Manhattan as possible but everything is shut down. I’m so scared. My ex-boyfriend doesn’t seem to be at work yet and I hope he’s ok, isn’t that a lame thing to think right now?

Flagrant plea for people to talk to me-- my work IM is Mmeow4000.

I’m having some luck at the bbc site.

Give that a try. All US news sites are jammed jammed jammed

I feel like such a wuss but I started crying a few minutes ago. Just frustrated with the state of the world.

GodDamn

I live 5 miles away from the Pentagon on Columbia Pike!

I take that route to get to school, work, DC!

My dad works at Crystal City!

I overslept, and he has a job interview for a position in Alexandria.

We’re lucky to be alive.

God Fucking Damn!!!

ALL aircraft flying over the US has been ordered to land at the nearest airport. Has that EVER happened before???

Retracted.
One tower has collapsed at WTC

I would like all of us to observe a moment of silence at 10:00 in memory of the people who died at the World Trade Center moments ago.

The media has made all of us so callous to events as tragic as these that we find ourselves laughing at the surrounding circumstances instead of crying.

These are our brothers and sisters who were just murdered. They need our respect, our thoughts and prayers, not our laughter.

No emails will be written, no phones will answered and no voices will be heard here from 10:00 AM to 10:05 AM.

Maybe God bless and comfort those who lost loved ones in this event and may he allow justice to be served to those responsible.

Thank you.

The second tower just fell.

Tower #2 collapses.

World Trade Center South Tower has just collapsed.

The second Trade Tower may have collapsed

One of the Twin Towers just had its structural integrity comprimised and a large portion of the building has just collapsed onto the ground… theres a large cloud of smoke encovering most of manhattan…

Sears Tower in Chicago evacuated

WTC has collapsed???

I’ve noticed that the rest of the world tends to see Americans as rather violent.

Bunkies, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Whoever did this - you’ve pissed off the one country with the brainpower to find you, the resources to hunt you down. Better your mothers had had abortions.
And a friendly warning to the other countries of the world - no more Mr. Nice Guy.
