My coworker just came in and he told me that he just heard on the radio that the World Trade Center in NYC was just bombed... Rather two twin engine planes ran into the buildings...? Any information on this?

it was a plane...lotsa smoke...no idea on the damage...

they are evacuating all surrounding buildings...
terrorists threats have been coming in on the white house, hence they got

My hands are shaking...I'm extremely scared. Everyone in my office building is freaking out.

My company was contracted to do cableing in the World Trade Center. The life of one of our employees, and a friend of mine, was saved due to the fact that he was late to his 9 am meeting on the 88th floor. However, many people we are subcontracting *were* on time.

This is a day to truly be remembered. God bless the lives of those already lost.

Please be careful when traveling everyone.

whoever did this is very smart.

1. they have 3/4 successful hijackings (who knows what happened to the 4th, they could have been successful and a malfunction occurred)
2. 3 successful terrorist attacks to A. the heart of international trade and one of the busiest areas in the world on an economic level as well as others and B. the largest structure in the world, which also happens to be one of the U.S.'s most important buildings in a matter of security and otherwise.
3. they have caused total destruction of a large section of an entire city, causing utter chaos which has enveloped the downtown NYC area.
4. They have accumulated large death tolls in both the buildings attacked, the planes crashed, and the bystanders on the ground below, and they have, in direct reaction to everything that has happened, caused a complete shutdown of the most powerful nation for what will most likely be an entire day.

they even made sure to hijack planes that were flying to LA from the east coast for the sole purpose of holding the maximum amount of fuel which would make for a large explosion.

we are dealing with some intelligent, but sick minds.

[this person worked near the WTC]

"My story started with the usual early work day
I got downtown around 8:30
Working quite near Wtc COuple min after gettin upstairs, I looked out the window to see some smoke, thought it was some fire the fireman would end up putting out. Later on the lil cloud got big and started going with the wind, some lady came and told us that a plane crashed. We ran to see the news then quickly went on the roof.
What I saw after that, I will never forget. Huge holes in both building, people jumping out, ny'ers all around on rooftops, in their windows, looking out, crying and holding eachother. WIth the buildings falling I went into shock and started crying on my knees. We were let go from work cause of this disaster. Walking through the bridge with thousands of people, all lost, confused and dazed. Not knowing what has happened, looking back to see what once was a skyline, with jets flying in the sky watching over us. I am still shaking to this moment. I'll never be the same again."

cell phones don't work....subways aren't running....bridges are closed....tunnels are closed....i'm trapped on the island of death....i walk from the world trade center to midtown......simply because i can do nothing else....slightly amussed at how everyone jumps at the slightest sound they hear......their fear is justified....the paranoia was rubbing off on me...i thought terrorist bombs were gonna go off any minute....too much chaos....to much confusion.....too many hyperventilating people around....too many ambulences.....just walk.....get to midtown.....subways still aren't working.....walk.....across the bridge........home.....to queens...........................

it's truly insane here...either complete quiet - or sirens - or an eerie attack helicopter thing...

the streets have no cars and very few people. almost no stores or offices or buildings or anything is open...

my apartment is on Horatio and Washington if you feel like looking at a map...it's in the southern half, but not south enough to truly be affected. We took a roll of film from the roof deck yesterday - which we should get back tomorrow and another roll from standing down on the border of where they'd let peopole stand (Canal street at the time) and the smog and debris and insanity and strange eerie quiet....

there was no troffic and there were no people even in the very center of Soho...I didn't know where I was at the time and until I saw Canal Jean Company's huge flag I had no idea I was in what was normally one of the most busiest places in the city.

The elections were cancelled for now, the bridges and tunnels and subways and busses are all stopped...almost no taxis and the ones that are here aren't running. The stock market is closed for today and tomorrow...thousands of people evacuated from their apartments...gas turned off in numerous buildings and the possibility water will be unusable for awhile...

and now - from the roof deck...every important landmark building appears to be gone as no lights are lit on the Empire or Chrystler...or World Trade Centers...of course....the city, most of it, looks rather dark.

I was woken up by my next door neighbor in Centreville, VA...30 min outside the city, to find that all this had happened. I was up just as everything happened, and i don't know how long i was sitting in the same position in awe, but it was a while. I watched live as both the 1st and 2nd Trade Center towers fell and I couldn't help but think to myself "someone somewhere is laughing at us."

My nextdoor neighbor's husband works at the Pentagon, and she cannot leave her phone in fear that she will miss something important about his status. I can't tell you how much i feel for her and for everyone who knows someone that works in a federal building anywhere in DC or NY, not to mention the country.

This is very real. By noon tomorrow, we will be at war. It's inevitable, and i for one am scared...George Bush Sr., i hope you know what you are doing.

This day will go down in history, i feel, as the day that North America came to the dark realization that we are not safe. This may just have been the "warning shot".

Hey,

I am Palestinian. You're full of it. Extremely full of it. You don't have any idea or relation to anything you speak of. If you like talking numbers imagine the number of Palestinians dying each day. Palestinians lose in day what Israeli's lose in a month. Now go figure. Hell, how would you feel when you're attacked every day losing your schools, librarries, and places where you work. And I wish you had watched BBC and other national broadcasts where they said such cheering was small isolated incidents. Most Palestinians were glued to the set like the rest of us. And I find it particulary funny you didn't see cheering in Colombia, Haiti, or other hostile nations. Like I said before media has great spin control in this country. Remember the Palestinians were there 1st. As a Palestinian, I know the maority of the Palestinians want peace and equality with all their neighbors. Israel makes it difficult with it's choke holds on Palestinian territory and main routes of transportation to work and scool.

I do not believe in suicide bombings or such rash attacks, I believe a college degree is the best weapon of choice. But considering the conditions of Palestinians and the lack of support, it shows a despairing and chilling view of showing how far they are willing to go. It shows they have nothing to live for under those conditions. I and many others do not support violent so do not group us together as one stereotype. Most Palestinians that come over are already educated and skilled in vocation.

So zero, or whoever you think you are, you don't know much. Unless you've lived in or visited the region please save all the drama.

First of THANK YOU MELZIE! Our cheesecake queen was kind enough to helo me by calling my best friend (who worked in the 66th fl of the WTC ) thankfully he is ok. He called after midnight. He couldn't get a line out to call until then. Thankfully, like the guy in the NY Raves post, he was running late and was not yey at work when it happened. He lives in Park Slope Brooklyn, he said that the neighborhood was covered in ash, and that there were actually singed papers littering the streets.

For any of you still waiting to hear on friends and family in either NY or in the Pentagon, I hope with all my heart you get to feel the relief I felt by hearing your loved ones voice.

If anyone has seen/heard from :

Lance Corperal Kevin Silvain, USMC
Lance Corperal Terrance Sheppard, USMC
Senior Airman Alvin Cooper, USAF

Please tell them to contact me (Thomas Allen), Our Teacher Gaikoro Funikoshi... and especially tell Kevin to call my sister.

Before you make some sort of fucked up comment... these guys party with me , are my students and friends, you probably have seen them with me. This is my last resort to track them down and two of them worked in the part of the pentagon that was hit by the 757. Thanks.
