Is anybody watching the World Trade Center?

[Ags2000]

For those of you that have not heard, 2 planes have now crashed in the Twin towers. The first one crashed into the north tower at 7:48 a.m. central time. Then just a few minutes ago, within 18 minutes, a secong plane has just crashed into the OTHER twin tower of the World Trade Center. I SAW THAT ONE LIVE.

Is anybody else watching this?

[Ags2000]

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON????? There has now been an explosion at the Pentagon. They are reporting that ANOTHER plane has caused this explosion. They are saying a plane crashed into or near the Pentagon.

I can't get a hold of my realtives on NYC. I have 2 and 3 year old cousins that go to school just north of the World Trade Center on Lower East Side Manhattan. I'm concerned not worried though. I got through to NYC a couple of times but got cut off. Both buildings have collapsed. All I can do is pray.

[Ags2000]

I was lucky to get through to my brother. He lives in D.C. and is always up near the capital. Thankfully though, he was at home today. My heart goes out to all the people who have friend and family in NY and D.C. as well as those that were on the planes.

Vaya con Dios!

I saw this all live this morning, it's very crazy. I still can't believe the World Trade Center is no more. I live in Linden, NJ and I always see those buidings on top of a major highway, now I won't, this is very sad. Something must be done!

[luvinjuan1980]

I was at work, when I heard. I'm up in Albany, NY. They evacuated the Capitol and all the State buildings. I've been trying to get through to Brooklyn, I have a friend down their, I'm guessing it's the circuits are gonna be tied up for awhile. Don't know how long.

This is ridiculous! I can't believe the World Trade Center is gone.

They are transporting some of the victims across the river to NJ hospitals on Ferry Boats.

Well, I am replying from work right now. I don't know what to say except GOD HELP OUR NATION.

[lesliem14]

This is nuts. Some of the news coverage, what they actually showed, was pretty unbelievable. I was eating breakfast in the cafeteria this morning a little after 9 with my two friends. We heard this one guy a couple tables over saying that two planes had crashed mid-air. I was still half-asleep and I went into my 9:30 where we didn't know anything and sort of were joking about the 2 planes. After that class ended we found out what had happened and my 11 was mostly talking about the disaster. Ever since then I've been tuned to the tv and trying to call Frankfort to find out what's going on there. This has just been unbelievable, unbelievable. Never mind the fact that at this time last year I was in DC for a semester completing an internship. Trying not to think about what could have happened, but it's hard when your mother says she loves you and she's glad your not in DC.

[Mossopp]

When the first plane crash happened it was lunch time over here and I heard about it from my supervisor at work. I was extremely shocked - it's the kind of thing you expect to see in the movies but for it to happen in reality is very, very frightening. Even though I'm thousands of miles away I can tell you that everyone in Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom are very concerned and all our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the terrible incident.

I heard the news in school. I was out of class, having my school picture taken, and when I went into Algebra, the news was on. I was like "The World Trade Center was bombed?!" but this one gurl explained the situation to me and I just sat there and watched that one building collapse. And the Pentagon was hit also. Oh and there was also a terrorist hijacked plane that crashed in Somerset, PA... a town that is only 45 minutes away from where I live! We were let out school early and my dad is currently in NY on a bussiness trip and we can't get a hold of him on his cell. This is devastating! So many innocent people are dead. My deepest, heartfelt condolences go out to everyone who is suffering because of this tragedy... you're in my prayers, America.

It was all we talked about at school today...it is so sad to even think about what has happened. I just cannot believe it. EVERYTHING is closed here - city offices, evening classes, colleges and universities, shopping malls, airports, hospitals...

[LaverneShirley]

I was in third period when I heard about it. At first I didn't really know what happened and didn't make much of it. But by lunch it was the biggest news in school. And in fifth and seventh period we watched the coverage. From what I make of it, 2 planes crashed into the World Trade Center, both buildings completely collapsed, one crashed into the Pentagon, and one was shot down somewhere in Pennsylvania. That's just what I've heard.

My sister just told me that she heard that a plane in Cleveland was hijacked, but she hasn't heard anything abou it since.

Whoever did this was sick. They were sick people with sick minds and I hope to God that they are rotting in hell this very moment.

[KerriBerri687]

who would have expected this?! my dad works in the city...i was so worried cause hez near the twin towers...but luckily hez okay..only stuck in the city...many others were not so lucky. some kids in my skool lost their parents today...its horrible and i hope...i reeeeally hope that they find whoever did it...

It was in Somerset, PA.

For those of you that don't know, the military has activated at least one of their hospital ships to try to help with all of the injured.

Also, a couple of carriers have been sent to New York, and a bunch of marines have been sent to D.C.

Most of the profs at the college didn't even hold class today. Because of this, I have been following this literally from the beginning. I actually saw the second plane hitting the second tower live. I was just shocked. I have sent several emails out to friends that live up there that I still have yet to hear back from. I pray they are fine.

I was upset and all, but it didn't affect me until the plane crashed into the Pentagon and stories started coming out that different places in D.C. were exploding as well. Thankfully, those extra explosions turned out to be false. I was able to find my brother and found out that he was at home. I then started calling the family to tell them as such.

I am just still in a state of shock. I'm sure I am just rambling on so I will stop now.

Wow. This is unbelievable. I watched the second plane hit live. I work in the Sears Tower in Chicago, and it was just widespread panic there - we all thought that we were next.

Everyone, if you are 16 or older, call your local Red Cross. There are a lot of injured people right now in NY that will need blood. It just takes 20 minutes to donate and it can save a life.

[disturbed child]

and also its weird how they are saying how much worse this is then pearl harbor...

Oh, I know! It is weird cuz we all know how bad Pearl Harbor was and then this tragedy takes it's place.

I saw those Pallastinians (sp?) cheering in Biology and Spanish class and it REALLY upset me. How could they possibly be so happy about something so awful? Sick.

No that is not true. Only 4 planes were highjacked, and they are as followes:

American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to L.A. This is the first plane that crashed into the North tower

American Airlines Flight 77 from Dulles to L.A. This is the plane that crashed into the the Pentagon.

United Airlines flight 175 from Boston to L.A. This is the one that crashed in the South Tower.

United Airlines flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco. This is the one that crashed in Pennsylvania.

Hope this helps.

[80skid]

Oh my God... I heard about it during third period. Our teacher told us (it was English) to be calm about it and we could all go and see it live on TV if we wanted to. We went; and I just feel soo bad for our country now. I've seen so many people crying today alone from my school since they've got relatives over by NYC. I'm just speechless.

THIS HIT SO CLOSE TO HOME!
I am sure every single person in my school will be affected by this. We live SOOO close to NYC, and about 1/3 of the students in my school have parents that work in New York!
One of my best friend's mother works at the WTC. They haven't heard from her yet. Another good friend's dad works across the street from there. No news. 2 friend's fathers were flying in the air during the time that the flights were being hijackked (on from BOSTON to EWR, the other from EWR to Cleaveland) A girl in my history's class's mother is a flight attendant for United. Another girl's aunt works for AA and operates out of Boston. It was such a horrible day. We watched the news in history class. I first heard the news while in Geometry. Our principal came in and told us. One girl in my geometry class is home alone now, because both of her parents are stranded in Buffalo and Vancouver. I just don't know what to say. It was just such a terrible day at school. There were people constantly being called down to the office. About a third of the school went home. Me? I stayed the whole day, but I have to see how some friends in NYC are doing. And you know what is ironic? Last night, while looking at my dad's yearbook, he told me about one of his teachers, and why he remembered her. It was because, he was sitting in her class and it was in that class that they received the news of JFK's assasination. I told him, wow I wonder if anything like that will happen to me?

[Beruche]

I heard someone talking about it on the bus this morning but I thought they were just making some weird joke.Then later I heard about it in school.at first I couldn't belive it I never thought something like that could really happen.all day in school thats all they talked about.I still find it hard to belive that something like that could really happen.

[nancysbiggestfan]

I couldnt believe it. I too, heard about it in 3rd period which was English. Unfortunately I didn't get to see any of it on TV cuz none of our teachers would let us. But everyone in our school was really terrified and felt very bad for all the families and their loses. The whole school was going Crazy! I'm watching the news coverage on MSNBC right now.

Ya know how they were saying that they were alerting the nuclear plants? Well, if I'm not mistaken, there is one in Oakridge,TN. Which is about 100miles from me. My aunt lives in Nash.,TN.


This whole thing is terrifying and awful. I'm wondering if we will have school tomorrow. Not for the obvious reason of getting out of school, which is great dont get me wrong, but becuz of all of this. Lots of the schools in my area were getting out early, but our school WOULDN'T LET US OUT!

Oh yeah, and one of my teachers has a friend that works in the Pentagon or near it. And hasn't heard from him. I hope he is ok.

Im praying for everyone right now and always.

Let you all know if i hear anything else major.

This isn't meant to be a joke or even humorous just a sign of how bad this is.

My Spanish I teacher, Ms. Angevine, would probably make us work during, well, anything pretty much, but even she didn't make us wok today. THAT's how bad this is.

We watched coverage in every class.

Y'all, in other news, they say a smaller WTC tower is on the verge of collapsing.

People, like it's been mentioned.

If you're old enough, go and donate some blood (I still like a year or 2 being old enough but I'm saying this anyway). They especially need O and RH+, if you have that, PLEASE donate.

I also ask, whatever your religion, whatever you personally believe, that you please pray for these people.

They didn't even tell us at school.No one knew but the teachers and the princable I guess but then they started cancelling all the games and aterschool activites wich we thought waz weird then like RIGHT before we left they were like Oh yeah and our country has been actacked.I never knew how much something this far away could affect Tenessee they are flying peeps down to our hosptials and their have been many threats and many buildings have been ecvacuated(except for school)and right now I'm just praying that my aunt is okay because she works VERY close to the Pentagion(sp) and we haven't heard from her plus alll the malls and things hear have been closed.

My prayers go out to EVERYONE that has lost someone today and also to America.I hope this ends soon.

I heard from a friend of mine that Canada was threatened. The Parliament buildings were evacuated and so were the taller buildings in the major cities (including Toronto, FOL fans... I guess we can see how they were affected in Lisa's journal tomorrow. I know Steve and Tucker came into Philly yesterday and probably won't be able to get back soon b/c the US/Canadian border was closed last time I heard).
I also heard that parts of London was evacuated. I dont know how much of this is true, but I just thought I'd let you know what I heard.

[A Gilligan Fan ss]

Oh my goodness this is very scary. I kind of live close to to New York city and I was just there 7 days ago, right in that same area! Why are some people just very mean? I mean the fact of someone hjacking the plane and killing himself to kill others. How could someone be so heartless. Everyone just pray that there won't be another explosion or something like a war. In this situation we as Americans have to work together.

I know! It's so weird to think of them just gone...whenever we went into NY, my sister would say, oh look the twin towers. now....the worst is that so many people went home to empty houses today. They got there and just waited. For what, I don't know. for their parents to get home. for the news of what happened to their parent to reach them. I don't know. Ahh. i don't know what I would do if one of my parents was killed today. Thank the lord that they were both ok. I wish that they could put out a casulty list, just so we would know. Everyone is just wondering.."is it just that he hasn't gotten to a pay phone?" "is he on his way home?" "did he get out?" I don't know what to say.

[coily2]

I just heard from a friend who was on the 77th floor when the WTC got hit. He got out in time, but he said he knew a few people who weren't as fortunate.

I am not a patriotic person. I destroyed my voters registration card and refuse to vote in elections. I couldn't care less about most national issues. But I've gotta say, this has me so enraged. If we go to war tomorrow, I would enlist.

Something seriously needs to be done. Whoever is responsible for this has to pay. I've been watching the coverage most of the time during school. My heart goes out to all the victims and the victims families tonight. This is horrific time period in everybody's life.

I saw that clip of the (?) laughing and cheering about the whole thing. I wished I could've slapped the **** out of all those people that were laughing about this...

[Cokies]

Same here, I woke up this morning and the radio was on. They weren't laughing or "daily dishing", they kept on saying "Two planes have crashed into the World Trade Center". I got ready, ran downstairs, and there it was. It was almost surreal. Like something from "Independence Day". And just seeing the plane go into the second tower...appaling.
I went to early bird, and of course, it was on. When we saw the tower collapse, it was like absolute shock. Everyone gasped and I swear, I almost cried.
In every class, the television was on, with everyone glued to the coverage. I can't believe any of it...

[Ritual]

Today, a lot of dark things have transpired. The World Trades Center is gone after two planes hit it. Some suspect it to be the cause of a terrorist attack, but no one is sure what has happened. There is an investigation going underway. In Washington, the Pentagon was bombed. And Pittsburg, a plane got hijacked. I realize that all of us believe in different things, that we're all unique in our own ways, and it's those differences that make us what we are, human beings. To everyone who is worried about a loved ones who might be attending the NYC convention or who live in one of the designated areas where the attacks have taken place, my heart and prayers go out to you.

[Meg07945]

It seems really weird that you were at home when this happened. I guess it's cause you live on the West coast. I was 2 hours into school when we heard the news..I don't remember when we heard it, it was sometime between 9:47 and 10:45 that's all I know. our geometry teacher knew about it when he walked into class, but he was supposed to wait for the prinicpal to come and tell us. afterwards, there was sooo much tension in the room.

OMG. halfway through writing this post I just learned that a really close friend of the family was in there above where the second plane hit.

[PomeranzFan1]

I wonder what Samantha Smith would say about all this....

Most of you are probably too young to remember but, in 1983, 11-year-old Samantha Smith of Manchester, Maine, went to the Soviet Union (now Russia) to meet Russian president/prime minister Yuri Andropov and talk with him about World Peace. Sadly, Samantha and her dad died in a plane crash two years later.

[folfan01]

I slept through it all. http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/biggrin.gif. But I had a dream about something like that last night. When I woke up the news was on and of course you could guess what it was talking about so I watched it through breakfast while my mom told me about it and stuff. When I got to school everyone was gathered around the radio like they do on Gilligan's island and they talked about the Twin Towers and stuff. Then we spent the whole math period discussing it. And right now I'm sorta on this board and watching the news at the same time.

[Lynn]

This is just devastating! My heart goes out to all the families of the victims. I just cannot imagine the terror all those people felt. I was watching the coverage thinking a plane had veered off course until I saw that second plane crash into the building. It was shocking and unbelievable. I just hope and pray for all the people involved.
I am still waiting to hear from a friend who lives in Manhattan.

can't imagine what it must be like to go home to an empty house, not knowing what's going on with my parents. My prayers and heart goes out to them.

This is all so sad. I was getting ready to leave this morning when I heard about it. All we did was watch the news today. They said that they have four planes still missing and that they have suspission of who is behind it all. I feel for the people in New York and their family and friends.

[~*hosebabe87*~]

i kno i already posted and all, but i just have one more thing to add. it's really freaky..okay...last night i was working on my essay bout pearl harbor. i finished it off with a conclusion sentance that was something like..how the US has to be prepared for anything and we need to expect the unexpectable...how weird is that

[Swimfan85]

i already posted but i will post again, its really hard espically for a lot of people here in the east coast because like everyone knows people who were there, some of my relitives live there and i knew people who were there...but luckily they got out but i have friends who werent so lucky...my prays go out to them and everyone else

[Ags2000]

I have been getting phone calls all evening long from friends and family asking if we had heard from my brother. It was nice to know that even my friends were asking about my brother.

After talking with him tonight, I found out that a friend of his works in the Pentagon, right where the plane hit. Nobody has heard from him yet. My brother figures that he died in the attack.

All I can say is this, today is a day that will go down in history. My parents used to tell me were they were when JFK was killed, and my grandparents used to tell me where they were when Pearl Harbor was attacked. I will have many stories to tell my children and grandchildren about where I was on certain days. I can tell them that I was outside watching the Challenger space shuttle take off when it exploded in front of my eyes. I can tell them I was standing in my livingroom watching tv when the Berlin Wall fell down. I can tell them I was standing in my new house in Texas when Operation Desert Storm started. I can tell them that I was out with friends when the Oklahoma City Building was bombed. I can tell them that I was at home when I found out the U.S.S. Cole was bombed, and that I was outside decorating for Halloween a few days later when I found out that a good friend of mine was on the Cole and was one of the ones killed. Now, sadly, I will add this to my list of where I was when I found out about it.

I pray that this is the last one that will be on my list.

Vaya con Dios!

They didn't tell us in school cuz everyones parents like work in NYC and they didn't want us to panick, which is unfair, but I saw NYC from a ditance today... it don't look like NYC anymore... Its a cloud of dust... Plain and simple, and my father witnessed the buildings burning from Newark NJ... Scary... I hope its over for now... I know that in the future something sucky like this will happen but hopefully it wont be for a long time... Hopefully it wont happen at all.

[JoPol_wannabe]

I know I posted before but I'm going to post again. I have some friends in the Navy and they are on alert, so I'm praying for them in case it goes farther then that and my brother is in the Reserves but he has drill this weekend so he said he will find out if they are being alerted, I really hope not I don't want anything to happen to him.

[lesliem14]

Wonderful post Ags2000. Several of those instances are part of my life too and I hate this one on there. My professors said something tonight that was very true. This event will characterize our generation and how our country operates for a long time. Were the ones that our going to have to deal with it more then the group currently in power.

Jopool...: I definitely sympathesize with you. My crew coach who I'm very close to is in the Navy Reserve and was put on alert this morning. He doubts that he will get called in because he's pretty far down the list, but it's very, very scary.

Finally, there is no precedent for this attack. The last time the mainland of the US was attacked would be the War of 1812. At the time of Pearl Harbor, it was an attack on the armed forces and Hawaii was still a territory. Civilians were attacked today. This is new ground here and I hope Bush handles it effectively.

[Neva Kee]

I think I know who planned this. His name is Osama Bin Laden. He is one of the evilest terrorists ever.I say that the US should kill the one who planned the destruction of the Twin Towers(which led to the destruction of 2 more towers, both WTC's), the idea of
sending a plane at the Pentagon, and the destruction of the US Embassy Building in Kenya nine years ago.Now, who's with me?????

[Max Whittaker]

I've been thinking about this almost all day. And now I'm tired, I have a headache, and my neck hurts...

Thanks lesliem14. I was just trying to convey how times have definately changed since my parents and grandparents grew up. This is just so upsetting to me as an American. I don't know about y'all, but I have a sense of helplessness that there is nothing we can do put pray and give blood.

I feel a little better know. My college had a candlelight vigil tonight. It was so great to see that many people of different races and religions all together mourning and bonding as one. This makes me proud to be an American.

I just wanted to add one thing here. I've talked with my mom and sisters today who are all teachers. They all teach different grades, but the response seemed to be the same, "So what. This doesn't effect me." I hope all young people do not believe this. This effects ALL OF US because America was attacked. And by attacking the Twin Towers and the Pentagon, we have all been attacked.

To all that have gone today, Vaya con Dios!

I've thought about this of course for hours, trying to comprehend it all. And there's still this feeling that I'm dreaming, or it really didn't happen HERE, in America.
I'm barely sixteen years old, and something like this happens. I can tell you this is the most devastating event I've ever experienced. More than the Oklahoma City Bombing, it's even up to par with Columbine.
It's just something I feel so helpless about. Yeah, I'll give blood, but is that enough?
And all this talk of war...You know, I used to think this generation needed a "cause" to get their (our) act together, and I thought nothing would ever make that happen. But this was it. And I regret feeling that way, no one needed this...

[Madness]

I still can't believe it. My mom told me about the first plane and I was very confused. So, I figured a plane just crashed. Then, we were watching Good Day NY and the second plane hit. At that time, I knew this was an act of a terrorist. A very sickening act. I live about an hour from the city and was worried for my own safety as well. There were rumors of an unaccounted plane flying even closer to where I was at West Point. At 9:45am, on my way to work, I was listening to a NYC radio station(WPLJ) and I heard about the Pentagon and knew this was going to be a bad day. They had choppers and everything watching this so it was like watching the TV. Luckily, the terrorists didn't go any farther--like towards Chicago and LA. But still, this is horrible. But I still cannot believe the Twin Towers are gone! It Makes me sick. My manager at work was actually going around the store showing me movie cover boxes with the city on it--and there was always the Twin Towers on it--a good example is Superman 2. Makes you realize what an important part the World Trade Center was to the skyline.

Here's something interesting. I was watching the plane flights they were showing and figured the planes went over the Atlantic. But the planes...BOTH of them flew right over the county I live in. There are always planes flying over my house so those planes, or at least one of them could've flew over my house! Pretty scary.

My prayers go out to everyone who has been affected by this horrific act. I'm hoping the death toll is not as bad as they're saying. At first, it was 42,000-50,000, now luckily 10,000. Let's hope this total goes even lower.

[Krisalicious]

I am SO scared now. I live in the NJ area thats like REALLY close to NYC! Gosh...i loved the twin towers! They were my fav buildings in NYC! Gosh...its not gonna be the same going there and not seeing the twin towers! And the PENTAGON got bombed?? GOSH!

Yes, I live very close to NYC also. So many of my friends have been home alone, not many peoples parents perished, but soo many are stranded. One of my best friend's mom worked in the twin towers, she got out fine, but she was stranded in the city overnight. Meanwhile, her dad, a principal at a high school in Atlantic Highlands, hasn't been home since yesterday at 6am. they turned his school into an emergency relief center and he has been there all day. So my friends (she's 15) has to take care of 4 of her little brothers, ages 12,10,8 and 5. She didn't even have time to see the news, she was so busy. She watched for about 5 minutes. Another one of my friends was home alone last night and for most of today. His dad is out on Long Island, he won't be back for a while, the ferries out of Orient are soo jammed up. His mother is a nurse and hasn't been home since yesterday at 7. Other peoples parents are stranded throughout the country, in places like Baltimore, Atlanta, Buffalo, Philly, they were in the air while flying and made emergency landings.

Something else scary. Reports are now that the 2 planes that went into the World Trade Center almost collided 15 minutes from where I live!

[nancysbiggestfan]

Just now four men were arrested becuz they were DISGUISED AS PILOTS! Also, VP Chenney was just moved from the Capitol to Camp David, the whole Capitol was evactuated becuz there were bomb threats. And they found a suspicious package.
Prez Bush gave a speach (i just saw him sayin' it but it was from earlier) and he was almost crying. There were tears in his eyes.

This whole thing is devastating. What are they gonna do next???
