NEWSFLASH: World Trade Centre hit by 2 Aircraft

I think we are. The internal US authorites are trying to maintain some level of information control.

But all the stuff I am seeing is coming through on the BBC and ITN. I think they must have private links.

I think you're right Dim, it may have been trying to get out of the air quickly perhaps.

The Numbers

The World Trade Centre: Capacity 50,000 people

Boeing 767 Jet: 304 passengers plus crew

Boeing 737 Jet: 149 passengers plus crew of 7

4th PLANE

There is definately a 4th plane, they won't say where though.

American Fighters are moving in to intercept and apparently they have been ordered to take the aircraft down no matter what the cost.

Pictures of TV now of survivors, caked in dust and soot being led from the wreckage of the World Trade Centre.

Well, they're evacuating buildings in Downtown LA....Probably doing the same in Seattle, Chicago etc..

Reports of an explosion in Chicago? Any news on that.

I can`t concentrate on my work I should just close up and go home to watch tv. Reports on the radio mention a 4th plane in Pennsylvania, Gundark any info? There must be some information censorship from the US now.
Oh this is so bad. 🙁 Both towers collapsed within an hour.
Reports on a Chicago explotion, not confirmed though.

The COBRA Emergency committee has been assembled in Great Britain to assess the next stage as far as the UK and the rest of the world is concerned.

This kind of thing only normally happens in times when war is a possibility.

I still have nothing new on pittsburgh.....nothing at all on chicago.

Canary Wharf in SE London evacuated as a security measure - Has been the focus of terrorist attacks in the past.

American Airlines have said that they have lost 2 aircraft with a total of 156 passengers and crew.

Pittsburgh Update: United Airlines Boeing 747 missing.

Can carry up to 524 passengers plus crew upwards of 20 I think.

this is too unbelievable. I saw this on the telly, but could hardly believe it. I'm shocked.

Queen Elizabeth II:

"I am watching with growing disbelief."

radio is confirming 4th plane down on way to LA. don't have flight number.

Dimmy?

New York Mayor:

"A tremedous number of lost lives."

I can't believe this. This is just unbelievable.

American Airlines Flight 175 Boston -> LA missing, presumed hijacked

I'm here (at work now)

How many more planes have they not accounted for??
