Two planes have crashed into the world trades towers. One after the other. They reckon a bomb was on one of them and it was intentional.

OMG

LoLth · 11-09-2001 01:34PM

they reckon one of the planes was a 737 hijacked just before the crash. Over 100 passengers on board.

whatever organisation was behind this one is gonna get severely kicked in the head by the americans!

Jaden · 11-09-2001 01:37PM

I hesitate to think what the backlash will be.

azezil · 11-09-2001 01:38PM

pictures from sky
:eek: OMG!!! :eek:

Hobbes · 11-09-2001 01:43PM

Bush was just on TV.

One of the planes was hijacked from Boston and was a 767. They don't know if it was the first or second plane but there were passengers on board.

The military have made NY a no fly zone to stop any more from coming in (if there are), also the NY stock exchange is closed.

TwoShedsJackson · 11-09-2001 01:50PM

Turn on Sky News - there's been a huge explosion at the Pentagon.

azezil · 11-09-2001 01:50PM

white house abandoned, pentigon on fire!!!:eek:

Hobbes · 11-09-2001 01:51PM

HOLY SH!T

The Pentagon has been hit now.

Draco · 11-09-2001 01:57PM

Apparently there is one more hijacked plane in the air. I wonder if they'll shot it out of the air rather than see it crash into something?

Hobbes · 11-09-2001 01:58PM

All airports in the US have now been shut down for at least 7 hours.

There is also a fire at a mall in washinton but they don't know if it's related.

It was a plane that crashed into the Pentagon.

Bard · 11-09-2001 01:59PM

The World Trade Centre and the Pentagon on fire. Reports of the fire in the Pentagon being caused by a 3RD hi-jacked plane crashing into it. The Pentagon, The White House and the US Treasury Building evacuated. Bush standing in front of a microphone surrounded by kids in a Florida school promising to "hunt down" the attackers. A Palestinian organisation being the first to claim responsibility.

Jesus! What a day!... I gotta ask- what NEXT?!

America must be going nuts right now...

I'm staying in front of that TV - just as well I don't have work! All major stations (not just the news stations) seem dedicated to this tragedy at the moment. RTÉ One, BBC One, SKY News and then some. It has already been called "the most highly organised and co-ordinated, militarily brilliant terrorist attack in human history" by one "expert".

It just doesn't seem real, does it?... You'd see it in a movie and say "that'd never happen"... but this is as real as it gets.

Reports say 6 are dead and 1,000 injured in New York. This figure is expected to rocket upwards.

The world is watching... shocked and horrified.

TwoShedsJackson · 11-09-2001 02:06PM

HOLY F U C K - one of the Twin Towers just collapsed.

jaggeh · 11-09-2001 02:09PM

OMG

OMg

TwoShedsJackson · 11-09-2001 02:13PM

Ummmm, according to Sky News there are around 40,000 people in each tower at this time of day.

Nemesis · 11-09-2001 02:16PM

I have and a few friends.
My family and cousins are going crazy trying to ring NY to see is our cousin is all right.
DemonBaby...:(

Lump · 11-09-2001 02:17PM

FOR **** SAKE, i hate to think of how many people are dead.

John

Draco · 11-09-2001 02:18PM

There are now reports that a total of 8 planes were hijacked.
F UCK

Enygma · 11-09-2001 02:19PM

WTF!??!?!
This cannot be happening!
They were on the phone to some guy in one of the towers he was just saying "We're f*cking dying up here!"

OMG!

TwoShedsJackson · 11-09-2001 02:21PM

There's been an explosion on Capitol Hill now.

Jaden · 11-09-2001 02:22PM

Capitol hill now, where else is it gonna get it?

WhiteWashMan · 11-09-2001 02:23PM

OMG!

some country somewhere is gonna get some serious sh17 kicking in the next few weeks methinks....
poor bas7ards

Bard · 11-09-2001 02:25PM

the report on Sky News came in from FOX News in the States saying that a phone call was received from a trading floor high up in one of the towers, in a floor above the section of the tower where the plane hit. The call simply said "Help us! We're dying up here!" - The reporter tried calling them back, but got no answer.

That tower has since collapsed.

8 planes hi-jacked??? ... this is FAR from over!

Jak · 11-09-2001 02:27PM

This is all a bit fkin surreal.

Hate to see what the response will be to this ...

Wookie · 11-09-2001 02:27PM

If any of you folks are are at a TV can you give an update!

This is mad sh!t.

It that Sky news stuff about 40,000 in Towers true??

Victor · 11-09-2001 02:27PM

If one of the towers has collapsed, we are talking about 20,000 dead. Several hundred of those will have been Irish.

Bard · 11-09-2001 02:30PM

It happened before 9am so most of them would (hopefully) not have been in work, and it happened fairly high up in the towers, so it wouldn't have affected large proportions of the buildings, which one would expect would have rapidly been evacuated after the first crash.

It's a sad day for planet Earth.

Enygma · 11-09-2001 02:30PM

Was the whole economy down about $40bn yesterday too?
This is bad, real bad, WWIII stuff.

20,000!!!!! Oh My God!

I'm watching Sky News - one of the towers has collapsed totally. there's an airplane still embedded in the side of the other one. Two planes have hit the Pentagon. There's been an explosion on Capitol Hill.

I just watched a video of Tower A collapsing.

Blitzkrieger · 11-09-2001 02:31PM

****ing hell!

I'm sitting here in a lab waiting for my project demo and listening to it on the radio. At first I though it was a movie or something.

****ing hell!
