Been on the TV watching....unbelievable. Two planes probably hijacked and flown into each tower major trajedy. Get to your TV now!

[Thordic]

I'm just going to make a request that no one post anything about this until we learn more information. There are bound to be a LOT of rumors floating around right now, please don't perpetuate them until someone official releases a statement.

Some other stuff. Report of a large problem at the Pentagon. Ground shaking rumble and it's being evacuated. Watch the news for this too. Probably related activity.

[agdjon]

can you believe it, there is now a fire in the pentagon. News says it could be from the osama ben ladan group

[cphilip]

They are now speculating it was a plane flown into the Pentagon as well. Is there another target?

[Restola]

Acting as if war was a pleasurable experiance eh....


There won't be a war, they will probably go hunt down and kill the organization, that will not take a war.

They Have evacuated the Whitehouse and a few surrounding Office buildings also. precautionary. US airspace being cleared. I would not want to be a missplaced Pilot right now.

One of the towers fell down.

[Restola]

holy crap. nothing is pleasurable about thousands of people being injured and dieing

[cphilip]

One of the Planes was confirmed to be an American Airlines flight from Boston to LA. Most likely full of passengers. Diverted (hijacked) and, 45 minutes after take off, flown into the Trade Center.

And one tower has indeed collapsed.

[Restola]

they think the other was an airbus 300? in any case it would have a minimum of 125 people on it. the 767 more like 250

Threat Con Delta at this point.

I would like to apologize for not disabling my Signature Image for my first post. It is not appropriate. I was just trying to get the post up and did not think to disable it. Again, I apologize for this.

Completely understandable Sam. I too forgot to uncheck mine but caught it quickly. I took care of it for you.

Lots of other rumors going around about other sites. None comfirmed. Might be hysteria setting in. So everyone please be carefull what you hear.

However there apears to be a horrific loss of life at the World trade center. Especially in the collapsed one. Including Emergency Personel under it at the time of collapse. I am sick to my stomach right now.
