Knee jerk reaction: cruise missles at every known terrorist base. Punish them all.

So did both towers collapse, or just the 1?

AIRPORTS WORLDWIDE SHUT DOWN

It will feel good for a long time, wipe them out completely and let everyone know not to F with us like this.

bin ladden?

5 Middle Eastern men took over the plane. They stabbed the flight attendent is the latest news

Given it's a death sentence for everyone in the plane anyway, I would think a pilot would prefer to just crash into the ground rather than increase the death toll.

Gotta be a terrorist flying the plane.

MSNBC reporting that people are jumping from the Remaining Tower who can't escape the fire

Can't be - planes 1 & 2 into Trade Centers #3 into Pentagon.

I feel very ill from just reading all this crap

Where are you getting this info?!?!

Yes, apparently that source was reporting unclearly.

Second plane out of Newark!

If this was the Palestinian's, it was the stupidest thing they could have done.I don't think it was them. I think it's Bin Laden. Whoever it was, I hope will soon be wiped off the face of the earth!

Can a MOD start a new thread? this is getting long.

they say that the President and his cabinet are meeting right now to discuss what the US is going to do. You can bet it won't be nice.

Yeah, this doesn't sound like something the Palestinians would up and do. Sounds more and more like Bin Laden was playing his cards waiting for the right time to strike

From foxnews:

NEW YORK — Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center and an airplane has apparently clipped the Pentagon in what President Bush called "an apparent terrorist attack on our country."


The crashes into New York's 110-story Twin Towers ignited huge blazes in the world's third tallest buildings in the heart of New York City.

An Associated Press reporter saw the tail-end of a large airliner plunge into the Pentagon. Smoke can be seen billowing out of the building.

The Pentagon and the West Wing of the White House are being evacuated.

The FBI is investigating reports of a plane hijacking before the twin crashes into the 110-story Twin Towers.

Law enforcement sources said they believe the first plane was an American Airlines Boeing 767 that took off from Logan Airport in Boston.

The second plane was believed to be a Boeing 737, but there was no immediate report of its origin.

Another plane has reportedly crashed on a highway in Washington near the Pentagon.

All Hudson River bridges and tunnels between New Jersey and New York were closed as a precaution in the wake of the apparent attack.

Flames can be seen pouring out of the upper-floor windows of each of the buildings, and smoke is billowing from both roofs. Large holes are visible in the sides of each building.

There was no immediate word on injuries or fatalities in the twin disasters, which happened shortly before 9 a.m. and then right around 9 a.m.

A senior government official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the FBI is pursuing reports that one or both of the planes were hijacked and that the crashes may have been the result of a suicide mission.

The source stressed that the reports are preliminary and officials do not know the cause of the crashes.

"It certainly doesn't look like an accident," said a second government official, also speaking on condition of anonymity.

"The plane was coming in low and ... it looked like it hit at a slight angle," said Sean Murtagh, a CNN vice president, the network reported.

"I was watching TV and heard a sonic boom ...," witness Jeanne Yurman told CNN. "The side of the World Trade Center exploded. Debris is falling like leaflets. I hear ambulances. The northern tower seems to be on fire."

Thousands of pieces of what appeared to be office paper came drifting over Brooklyn, about three miles from the tower, one witness said.

In Sarasota, Fla., President Bush was reading to children in a classroom at 9:05 a.m. when his chief of staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear. The president briefly turned somber before he resumed reading.

At 9:30 a.m. EDT, Bush canceled his appearance and planned to return to Washington.

Bush said he "would hunt down those folks" responsible for the attack.

The towers were struck by car-bombers on Feb. 26, 1993, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000.

More than 40,000 people work at the World Trade Center. The downtown Manhattan complex comprises two buildings, with more than 400 firms from over 25 countries. The complex is so big, it requires two postal zip codes.

More than 100,000 business and leisure visitors come to New York's Twin Towers each day.

In 1945, an Army Air Corps B-25, a twin-engine bomber, crashed into the 79th floor of the Empire State Building in dense fog.
