4 planes in 1 morning what else can go wrong

[Semyaza]

They already said if this is a international atack we will go to war. And depending on severity you might expect a world war 3 type atmosphere if its a country thing. Thery named one arab (i forget his name) who they say might have it done but are not 100 percent sure yet. They also say Phili and possibly Cali might have targets as well as Chicago but chicago is already been cleared out for safety. You can expect if its internation we will go to war. This wont be a gulf war thing either.

I fear for those who died and for those who are goign to die. Just hope they dont institute a draft

[Prey521]

Yes, no war, just totally demolish the country that did this, TOTALLY DESTROY IT!!!!!!!!!!

[RoundEye]

I don't know about other cities, but New Orleans is going nuts. They tightened security around the Superdome, called in the National Guard.

We have the command center here for the National Strategic Oil Reserve. All of the data for all of the Military's Branches is backed-up to a new facility they just built here. They are shutting down a lot of the oil rigs from what I hear. Also tightening security on the Mississippi river and our river ports.

This is crazy, I'm in total shock as to what just happened to our country.

[mikemean]

I just saw the video of the tower falling down. Thinking of all the people inside and seeing the way it went down on itself I want to cry.

[YARDofSTUF]

BTW they are chanting and singing and giving away candy on the West Bank in celebration of the attacks.

[Semyaza]

Besides bombing ands going to war the most powerful hurtful thing we could do besides war would be to stop and cease all trade and airflights...exports and inports with countries surrounding the possible area of the bombers which is the middle east. Let them fend for themselves. the US has its own problems. Let the rest of the world be in financial troubles or poverity etc. When they stop yelling at the USA theyll eventually come crying back to us for help with open arms. We might be sarcastic snotty stuck up people as a nation but we are the most powerful nation in the world and we do have the money. Im sure wed find an alliance in canada and England as well as Swizterland, British isles and a few others

I live in a backwoods university town... Tucson, AZ... didn't hear about this until my roomate's mom called as said to turn on the TV. wow. unbeleiveable.

[Stooge]

Well all we can hope for is this doesnt all result to World War 3. Im sure Bush isint to pleasant right now :)

This is some seriouse stuff though.

[FunK]

I need you all to keep this thread current with the new information.
I am at work and cannot hear anything on CNN (audio is down).
can't find a good online channel either.
net congestion is way too high.

Please keep me updated and try to tell me when reports are VERIFIED. There is allot of talk about us shooting down passenger planes. Is this true??

I would think that would be the best thing to do if they are confirmed as hijacked.

Tough decision, but I think it's the best one considering the loss of life if these planes make their targets.

I hope we find the ones responsible, but war is not what I want to see.

I want revenge, but war means war.

Keep me posted.

FunK

[mikemean]

President, vice president, speaker of the house have all been moved to secret locations. This can't be good at all.

[Stooge]

Sure there Discussing rather they should go Nuclear or not.
If that happends say goodbye to planet Earth.

Once China , Russia, And the states get into it thats all we need.

[smaier69]

havent heard of the shooting down of passenger planes, but the 4 hijackings have been confirmed by the airlines themselves. pretty sure they were American Ailines liners that took out the Twin Towers. can remember what airline's plane crashed into the Pentagon.

[YARDofSTUF]

my friend ion teh guard is gonna get called in soon :(

[JamieLee2k]

My prayers go out to all of the victims and their families, God save us all!

Good Luck to everyone, this is only the beginning.


God Speed, BMED

[smaier69]

i agree fully with Seed. it still has not been confirmed who is really behind this. bin Ladin, Islamic Jahad, Iran and Iraq are all potential suspects.

not everybody who lives in Palestine believes in this, though there are those who are celebrating there and elsewhere. there is a 5 year old girl in Palestine who i am sure has no involvement, and should not have a bomb dropped on her because of where she lives.

[crazyman]

all the US Mexican borders were shut down

[Randy]

i would take a guess @ iraq!

[Semyaza]

New Info

Ok Bin Ladin the guy they think is involved they say is in hiding oc course and hes backed by afganistan. so maybe we will go to war with them.

Massive Attacks Destroy World Trade Center, Hit Pentagon
September 11, 2001 11:10 AM ET
By Alan Elsner, National Correspondent

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Three hijacked planes crashed into major U.S. landmarks on Tuesday, destroying both of New York's mighty twin towers, hitting the Pentagon in Washington and plunging the United States into unprecedented chaos and panic.
Loss of life was expected to be catastrophic from the collapse of the giant towers of the World Trade Center where many thousands of people work. The two enormous edifices both fell in a huge cloud of smoke and fire two hours after the initial impacts.

New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said there had been a "tremendous number of lives lost" in the attacks on his city.

Another plane crashed near Pittsburgh. It was not clear if this was another attempted hijacking.

Hospitals in New York were overwhelmed with patients as a massive cloud billowed into the blue skies over Manhattan where the city skyline had been dramatically and permanently altered.

"Hundreds of people are burned from head to toe," said Dr. Steven Stern at St. Vincent's Hospital in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of lower Manhattan.

"The whole of lower Manhattan is coated in half an inch of dust," Reuters reporter Daniel Sternoff said.

BUSH CUTS SHORT VISIT

President Bush cut short a visit to Florida and rushed back to Washington to face the greatest crisis of his young presidency.

He called the deliberate aerial assaults an "apparent terrorist attack", and ordered a full-scale investigation. Early speculation about the source of the attack centered on Saudi-born guerrilla leader Osama Bin-Laden.

It was the most dramatic and deadly attack on the U.S. mainland in modern history. The attacks forced the evacuation of all government buildings in Washington, including the White House and other tall buildings around the country, cut cell phone communications on the East Coast and grounded all commercial planes in the United States.

Early reports said all three planes used in the attacks were hijacked, one of them from Boston and one from Washington. It was not immediately known who flew the planes and what happened to them.

The day of horror began around 9 a.m. in New York when the first plane plowed into the south tower of New York's World Trade Center, as thousands of workers were streaming into the building to begin their day.

It opened a huge hole near the top of the building. Two hours later, the whole building in which thousands of people collapsed on itself in a huge cloud of smoke and fire.

TV stations caught the second plane plowing into the second of the twin towers, exploding in a fire ball a few minutes after the first impact. That building caved in about an hour after the first.

Shortly afterward, a third plane crashed into or near the Pentagon in Washington, throwing people off their feet inside the building and setting off a massive fire.

Amid confusion, news organizations reported another explosion at the State Department but this was later denied. Other reports spoke of another hijacked plane heading toward the capital.

GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS EVACUATED

All government buildings including the White House and the Capitol and the CIA were evacuated. The Federal Aviation Authority grounded all planes in the United States, an unprecedented step.

"It's clear that this is terrorist-related, we're not sure who is responsible," one official said of the Pentagon attack.

"There was no advance warning of this," the official said on condition of anonymity.

One of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center was American Airlines' Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles, said Lori Bassani, spokesperson for American's flight attendants union.

Bassani said if full, the flight on the Boeing 767 would carry 158 passengers. That would include two pilots and nine or 10 flight attendants, she said.

She said she did not know how many people were on board.

"Terrorism against our nation will not stand," Bush said before leaving Florida for the capital.

"Today we've had a national tragedy. Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country," he said, speaking before schoolchildren, teachers and parents at Emma E. Booker Elementary School, where he had planned to talk about education.

"I have spoken to the vice president, to the governor of New York, to the director of the FBI, and have ordered that the full resources of the federal government go to help the victims and the families and to conduct a full scale investigation to hunt down and to find those folks who committed this act," said Bush.

He called for a moment of silence. "May God bless the victims, their families and America," Bush said, his voice breaking with emotion.

Bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire and Islamic militant, believed to be in exile in Afghanistan, was blamed for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in which 224 people died.

An Arab journalist with access to bin Laden told Reuters in London that the renegade Saudi three weeks ago had warned of an "unprecedented attack" on U.S. interests.

The previous worst act of terrorism in the United States was the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City in which 168 people died. Timothy McVeigh was executed for that attack earlier this year

A previous bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 resulted in six deaths and hundreds of injuries.

My condolences to all Americans. I hope none of you have lost or injured friends or family.

FYI, alert states for Government buildings, civilian and military, have been raised in the UK. All British aircraft are grounded. Canary Warf, London Stock Exchange and other buildings are evacuated because of our ties with the US.

Good luck catching the terrorists and rebuilding your country.

check out www.hardocp.com Kyle has been posting lots of news as it happend on the front page...

check out his latest post:


While I don't really want to report rumor and speculation here, this one seems totally plausible and has come from a source that I personally know.

My best friend is Army Airborne . . . the Army has told him...supposedly hush hush that 11 Planes have been hijacked, we have only heard about the crashed ones.

Again, this is totally unsubstantiated and has not been reported by ANY major new organization.

[Brent]

they just said on the news that the astronauts on the space station in orbit can actually see the smoke rising from new york... from space, wow
