    Terrorist groups in the US work in cells, small groups of 3 to 8 people each, anything larger is too difficult to keep hidden. Cells normally do not communicate with each other for security reasons, in the event that one cell is discovered, the others are safe from being discovered since the people in the seperate cells do not know each other and are unable to divulge information.

    These attacks were very coordinated, obviously more then one cell is involved here, which leads to speculation of state sponsorship, meaning that someone in a foreign government or high place of office is coordinating the attacks.

    Both towers completely collasped, collateral damage to other buildings, we're looking at the possibility of over 100,000 fatalities, with threats of more attacks pending. The response to these acts will be equally horrific, protocol demands that it be to prevent anything like it happening again. I suspect that as information filters in from the allies we have in the middle east, the US will more then likely declare war on those responsible.

    The crash in Phili is now believed to have been shot down by US F-16's, for failure to respond to attempts of radio contact, it was flying toward Washington, most likely under hostile control.

    Arafat, leader of the PLO, has been publicly denouncing these attacks, Bin Laden says he didn't do it, in time the truth will prevail, and those responsible will pay the ultimate price.

      Oh my god

      I was in school and it was turned on the TV. School was let out early. I saw the entirte thing unfold. Here is the current info:

      WTC hit by 2 airplanes. Both towers have COLLAPSED. PEople have been killed and injured up to 5 or 6 blocks away, and tons of buildings are damaged or destoryed. the twin towers are GONE.

      A carbomb has also gone off in NYC

      Pentagon was also hit by a kamikaze airplane, however, from what I hear, damage is light and hopefully no one was killed.

      Another airplane was crashed into rural pitsburgh, Thank god it obviously missed it's target.

      Stock market is halted, sports games are halted, ALL flights in US airspace have been canceled and airports are locked down, Power, telephones, and cell phones are done throughout much of NYC, all Embassys have been evacuted.

      50,000 people in the WTC, and it has completley collapsed.... Not to mention people on the ground, people in the FOUR airplanes, emergency workers, and people within a few blocks of the WTC.....

          Here at my office (comp tech support) we have ceased operations and are acting as a phone service to connect employees we have in NY and DC to their families because of loss of communication in those areas. Anyone else at a place of business where any kind of help can be given should talk about what they can do.

            This is why I asked people not to post yet. The car bomb was at the state department in Washington DC, not in New York City, and last time I checked it wasn't 100% confirmed. You are just spreading rumors.

            Also, 50K is the maximum employees that could be there. Seeing as the attacks started slightly before normal business hours, they don't think the building was full, and also a lot of people WERE able to escape (They have on guy on the radio who had escaped from the 90th floor.) Please do NOT spread rumors or anything of the sort until official statements are made.

              Quick reminder...

              The injured in NY need blood - desperately. Go to your local Red Cross and donate if you can.

              Estimated deaths: 10,000 and rising.

                Sorry for the confusion. In merging a thread of Chaotic's I did it backwards and so accidentally retitled this one for a bit. Guessed it was close when I fixed it.

                  I just talked to MagDog68, aka Fred. He works in Manhatten. He is currently fine, and walking to the brooklyn bridge in an effort to get home.

                  If anyone has heard from veteranmag, or if he sees this, please post. He is the only other AO member I know of who works in Manhatten.

                  Hasty8 MAY work in manhatten, I'm not sure. Any news about him would also be appreciated.

                    HMmmmmmmm, words cant really do much in a situation like this.

                    The Taliban says Bin Laden didnt do it. Arafat said he didnt, but he says the exact same thing when the the palestinians bomb israel...So I think something's up there.

                    I just hope that when we find out who did this, we will destroy all personell in the group that did this....

                    I also (even though this is mean) hope Israel really pounds into the Palestines for loving our thousands of people dying. They hate it when it happens to 10 of thier people....And get the whole world to blame Israel.....I can only hope we can do even greater for fact we have hundredes of times more people hurt in ONE day of terrorisim then they have taken in years of conflict.

                          can i get some help here? if you watch the news when they have footage of the plane flying into the building, both buildings are already on fire, was there a bomb in the other one or did the first plane hit both of them? all i can say is my heart goes out to anyone who is or in some way is involved in this sick attack.

                                This is horrible!!

                                My brother "Eagle" is in Norfolk at the Navy base. I havn't been able to get ahold of him to find out if the Atlantic fleet is being at all mobilzed or what.

                                There was no car bombing in DC last i herd.

                                I saw footage of the Palistinians celebrating at our tragity. It was like mardi gras there, throwing out candy and stuff. Just awful


                                My prayers are going out to all those families affected by this.
