TWO airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center!!!

Holy ****, I found out around 9:05, I was at Columbus State University in downtown Columbus Ohio and they forced us to evacuate the university, damn I was watching the news and they show the second plane hit the building, a helicopter was filming the WTC after the first building was hit when all of a sudden he said OMG and relised that a second plane was comming for the other WTC only seconds before it hit, Senator McCain said this is grounds for war, and this is considered a way worse of an attack on the U.S. than Pearl Harbor

Dang they just said that about 10,000 died

My father works in the Pentagon.  I got off early from work when I told my boss, & rushed home to watch the news and wait by the phone.

I WAS SO RELIEVED when he walked through the door at 2:00pm.  The whole entire time this was happening our phone lines were tied up (we live 30 miles south of DC).  We couldn\'t call anybody and they couldn\'t call us.  Talk about feeling helpless.  They even shut down i-395 north.

I thank God for bringing my father home safely.  I pray for those injured and the families & friends of those hurt.

I think Bin Laden actually warned several people about this..

He said something like "we\'re planning a big attack"
something like that..

Couple things I was thinking about.  The first plane hit and the second plane hit 18 minutes later.  I can almost guarantee you that that was planned so that the second hit would be shot on camera live.

I also find it really interesting that all the planes used in this assault were traveling to LAX.  What do you know, a FULL tank of fuel.  

I also can virtually guarantee that the one plane that crashed in Pennsylvania did not just crash.  I bet you anything that we shot it down with a fighter jet.  This plane was headed towards the capital, probably towards the white house.  They had to shoot the thing down.  I haven\'t heard that on tv or radio yet, jut my thoughts.

I also heard from someone that one of the key informants of ours dealing with Bin Ladin was assassinated yesterday.  A number of attacks have been thwarted in the past few months.  Well, this one almost carried out 100%.  

It\'s truely amazing to see this happen.  Everyone knows that America is safe from an outside force entering into our country.  There is no way to defend against internal forces striking us.

Living in Tampa it has always been scary during war times since we have the strategic headquarters here.

I hope we kick some real ass.

I have a feeling it could easily double that.

I just hope that we get those bastards that are behind hijacking airplanes! my mom is a flight attendant and she could couldpve easily been a victom. also, if we dont kill the people that are responsible for this, than other people that hate our country may follow! THIS IS FREAKIN CAOS!:eek:

Bin Laden represents the Taliban (not the Palistinians like you were talking about), he has denied that they were responsible, I\'m not saying that we should just take his words, but just attacking him and his people with no real evidence of his guilt is downright childish.

Sorry for the childish remarks n0-One, i apologize, and yeah, we should hold off passing judgement on Bin Laden, i guess my hate for him has really gotten in the way. Once again, sorry for sounding so childish:)

This is the worst news I\'ve heard in years.  It was announced at my school early this morning, and the rest of the day basically revolved around watching the news on TV.

I\'m so pissed right now... Thousands of people just had their lives stolen away from them for no good reason...

I can only hope that the problems are resolved quickly and things return to normal.  The US is not ready for any sort of major conflicts right now.  

To all of those who lost their lives today:  Rest in Peace.

Ehh, you\'re pissed off and you have every right to be, we\'re all angry.

And I actually think Bin Laden is behind this, since he made some statements a while back that they were planning something big.

But the thing that bothers me is that no group has claimed responsibility for this, what terrorist like this want is attention, they want the world to know them, and to know their cause.
So far, we have had a faceless enemy, so what would the people that are behind this have to gain if nobody outthere knows their cause?

I didn\'t believe the news at first. My sister woke me up around 9 o\'clock sayin that the WTC was GONE and the pentigon had been struck.

And although my deepest sympathies go to the familys and loveones who were injured or have perished in this tragedy, I can\'t help but feel a great sence of relief. This was no small operation like the Murrah building or the nerve gas released in Tokyo\'s subways. What happened today has been in the works for a long time, and although I don\'t quite think it\'s over yet, I thank god that things weren\'t much much worse than they were.

Think of the possibilities that COULD have been. One of those planes could have been carrying a small nuclear device or a biological weapon. More than that though, what if the terrorists had done more stategic thinking and hit more with the intent to cripple rather than to show force.

The WTC and Pentigon are more of symbols of American pride. Imagine instead, that the terrorists had chosen to crash into Wall Street and the Nasdaq instead. What if they had found a way to take out NORAD rather than attack the outdated icon of the American military.

There are plenty more targets out there which would have had a greater impact on us. In total, 4 planes crashed. What if those 4 planes had hit 4 of the 6 Nuclear Power plants which supply the east coast and midwest with power. Or what if they had targeted 4 of our major oil reserves. Things could have been much worse, and I thank god for the lives he spared today by making these terrorist either to stupid or too idealistic to attack more viable targets. I also damn the same god, for creating these people in the first place.

A line must be drawn. Today\'s events were a test.. a test of our president\'s resolve, of our strength as a country, and of our ability to lay down our personal amnitys to work together to find out who is ACTUALLY behind this and make sure that justice is carried out swiftly and efficently. The next terrorist attack may just be as far beyond this in intensity than what this is beyond the Oaklahoma City bombing.

May god shepard and protect the soul of those who have died this day, and watch over those who can never forget it.

I couldn\'t believe that WTC is destroyed. My favorite buildings. I was at school when we heard that the first plane crashed. Then I went to acouple more periods and found out the towers collapsed. I was talking to a few kids, they had mothers and fathers in the building as well as other family members. One said that he thinks his uncle is dead. Another said that his dad was in TOWER 1!!! But he found out later that he was alive and alright. I live in a suberb about 30-40 miles from NYC. I went to a lookout after school and saw the smoke from NYC. I hope they catch these bastards. But this is so sad Now when I play any games with the Twin Towers, I will always say "They aren\'t there anymore". When my kids ask "Daddy, where were you when the WTC was destroyed?" I would reply "I was at school, listening to the radio." I was the only one to know most of the details. I acted like a phyciatrist (sp.) comforting some friends. I still cant believe this So sad

I was flying with PS1(a computer based training for the 747-400) to Milano Malpensa when my mother ran to me screaming :"Fabrizio,Fabrizio...two airplanes crashed into the Twin Towers...it\'s a disaster...."...

...well people...I\'m still shocked...I won\'t forget those impacts,the people falling down the Towers,the Towers collapsing...right now I can\'t still believe...but one thing is sure...those bastards will pay for it...in a day or two !
