Thanks Judy... I't hard not to be a little scared.Confirmed, there was a third plane, it crashed into the Pentagon. The White House was evacuated after a credible threat, a white jet was seen circling above it. The treasury is being evacuated too.

- A small plane has crashed into the Pentagon as well.- At least one of the planes was a hijacked American Airlines liner, possibly an Airbus. - All airplanes in US airspace has been ordered to land at the nearest airplane. ALL of the United States is now a no-fly zone. - An obscure Palestinian group has claimed responsibility, but who knows if they're just trying to jump on the bandwagon. By the end of the day, dozens of groups will be claiming responsibility. - According to one Today-In-History website I went to, today is the anniversary of the British mandate in Palestine. - Think of the planning involved: The first plane crashes, they wait for camera crews to set up their live feeds, then they send a second plane in. - Part of the Pentagon has collapsed. Edited to say: That obscure Palestinian group has now denied their involvement. [ September 11, 2001: Message edited by: Kneel before MediaBoy ]

Washington and NYC flights are being diverted to Canadian airports.CBC radio now reporting second tower has collapsed. Please, folks, Oaklahoma showed that jumping to conclusions before information is in can be really counter productive. The Internet might be affected by these disasters. Most news sites are going to be flooded with hits. [ September 11, 2001: Message edited by: judym ]

- A car bomb has also exploded outside the State Department building (I didn't catch if it was Washington or NYC).- Unconfirmed: One plane was American Airlines out of Boston (60 passengers and crew). One plane is American Airlines out of Washington (90 passengers and crew). - THE SECOND TOWER JUST COLLAPSED! [ September 11, 2001: Message edited by: Kneel before MediaBoy ]

Judym... Rueters reported a Palestinian group is taking responsibility. Building two down.How do you get a pilot to fly into a building? Auto pilot? An interviewer on CityTV gasps, "It's another Pearl Harbour".

Could be anything from anti-globalization forces to a religious group that hates money.My gut tells me that this is something involving a coalition of groups because of the sheer scale of planning that would be involved. Also, if it is an inside job, someone had to bankroll this: someone had to pay people to get the terrorists onto the planes.

FUCK!! Another plane crash???Oh God. Folks, I have said it before though not on rabble: don't piss off the US. FDR after Pearl Harbor said: quote: No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.
I suspect there will be a great deal of talk about the concept of "righteous might" in the days ahead.

Peter Jennings just YELLED at a commentator for saying that there's no way the US could have anticipated the attack.Jennings: "Oh COME ON! How can you say that?!" I've never seen Jennings lose his cool like that.

Ok, US news websites are jammed. Anybody able to get anything from other sites worldwide? BBC? Isreali news sites? Other middle eastern sites? ABCNEWS: Intelligence agencies have been monitoring increased activity by Osama Bin Laden in recent months, in preparation for "something", but they didn't imagine anything of this magnitude. Take this one with a grain of salt, naturally.

Just to clarify:I said that this COULD be ANYTHING FROM anti-globalization to religious nuts. That is not to say that any one group is suspect. It is anything can happen day here folks and many people have died. It could also have been pro-abortionists for all I know okay - sheesh!

CBC Newsworld keeps showing footage of the "first" plane crashing into the first tower to collapse. But at this time there is also smoke belching from the top of the second tower.Some time later you can see a second plane crashing into the second tower, lower down from the smoking area. By and by that tower collapses too. This suggests that something more than two planes were involved, although at this point that hardly seems to matter. I'm stunned, shaking. In Bush's statement he said the US would "hunt down and find" the "folks" responsible.

My heart says that this is going to lead to something cataclysmic.Has the UN been targetted? What is the current state of International alliances? Does Bush seek world condemnation, and who should he condemn? New President, new administration. The irony is that Bush is essentially an isolationist.

Righteous might, Catalyst.Events like this tend to have a unifying effect on a nation. America is a giant and I believe this tragedy will invoke the "righteous might" of the US. I pray that it isn't misguided.

I am shaking. I am not conflicted on this because this is a sneaky, evil and deliberate attack on the US.Our generation has been shielded a great deal from earth shattering, cataclysmic events. This is painful because of the indiscriminate death toll. Homeless people have died alongside the wealthy. Incredible symbolism in this tradedy.

CBC Radio reports that the plane which crashed in western Pennsylvania was a Boeing 747, hijacked shortly after takeoff.They also quote Arafat, talking to reporters in Gaza, saying this is "unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable." The Palestinian Authority, he said, was utterly taken by surprise on this and utterly repudiates it, and he sends his condolences to the people of the US. But he hasn't much support among his people these days, and I doubt he'll get much of a hearing.
