Airline confirms loss of two flights with 156 on board

A US airline has confirmed the loss of two flights with 156 people on board.

American Airlines says its Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles had 81 passengers and crew on board.

American Airlines Flight 77 from Dullas Airport near Washington to Los Angeles was carrying up to 58 crew and passengers.

It is not yet known exactly where each plane crashed.

Aviation authorities have reported several planes are still unaccounted for in addition to those crashed.

United Airlines has confirmed its flight from Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco has crashed near Pittsburgh.

The airline also says it is "deeply concerned" about flight number 175 from Boston to LA.

The company refused to say whether flight 175 is one of those that crashed and would not give details of how many people were on board. There are no further details at this stage.

this is unreal..... we just heard it here in Sweden....its on the news every 15 min...

...they have evacuated the ambasade in Stockholm...and closed the street.

i thank God.. my wife was supposed to fly home today from florida plane leaving at noon.. I'm glad she is safe.. I'll probably be driving down there tommorow to go pick her up.

In Wilmington here the red cross is asking people to come donate blood, because they need it for everyone hurt... so thats what I'm going to go do.

I don't claim this to be true or anything, but please take one second on this busy day to read....it's interesting to say the least.


This was an old hobby of mine, I'm not a wacko who actually believes this stuff...but
Nostradamus worked in anagrams, in 1999, I was freaked out and would not go to NY because he said, paraphrasing now, "fire burns the new city at 45 degrees 1999."

Nostradamus worked in anagrams..the anagram of 1999 is 9111, today's date, and the day that fire burned new York city ( the new city, located at 45 degrees on the map)

spooky stuff to think about. what an awful day for America

also, Nostradamus said the new antichrist that would be fought would be an anagram of the work "mabus" Usma b...en Laden....

European parliament is being evacuated as a precaution.

It's 5pm here so I'm going home now to plug myself into the TV. Good luck to all US Farkers - thoughts are with you.

Christ Almighty. I just heard there could have been 20,000 people still in the towers

From News.com :

The president ordered a full-scale investigation to "hunt down the folks who committed this act."

FOLKS? Jesus...

NBC is reporting that there were possibly bombs/explosive devices inside the WTC, besides the plane impacts.

All my guests at the hotel where I work are staring at the TV right now... Yanks, hope you get to nuke the bastards responsible for this!
And to all moslems celebrating this: YOUR GOD CAN NOT HELP YOU NOW!

Ahh, Nostradamus, who makes vague prophecies that can be interpreted any way.

One last post: 9th September was date of Palestinian annexation in 1922. Nothing to do with bloody Nostradamus.

I hope the peace lover now realize the world is not a basket of flowers. Gen Y folks will be fighting this war now.

I work right here in DC and can see the Pentagon smoke from here. My co worker is actually biatching because her softball game will be canceled.

Stern is calling for nuclear attack on the Middle East. He's an hour overtime. Beware the demogogues.

And I'm sure all muslims aren't celebrating this. Has it even been confirmed yet? Still, lets not go out and persecute american muslims now...

Too late for me over here, thanks to all for keeping me updated. I'm off to bed. You are in my prayers.

Plane Downed in Maryland May Have Targeted Pentagon, CBS Says
By David Russell


Camp David, Maryland, Sept. 11 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Air Force forced down an airplane that may have been attempting a second attack on the Pentagon, CBS news reported.

The airplane crashed at or near Camp David, Maryland, the retreat for U.S. presidents, CBS said.

(CBS 9-11)

Bush Jr. was quoted as saying "this act of terrorism will not stand"....


Bush Sr. during the Gulf War: "This agression (against Kuwait) will not stand...."

Fourth Plane down in Summerset Penn?

anyone confirm?

Now I hear that they're evacuating the Rennaissance Center in downtown Detroit (GM's world HQ - a big group of tall buildings). Possibly hijacked plane in Toledo airspace. Another report of a hijacked plane on the ground at Toledo with a bomb in it. wow.

CNN.com is up and running....everything removed but top story

The best thing we can do to retaliate would be to rebuild those towers. That and shoot those responsible in the head.

I'm glad I live in Canada.
Still, this is quite terrible...

But nuking probably isn't the answer.
It seems that nuclear weapons are more a method of preventing violence rather than causing it (a method of keeping balance one might say).
Before everybody goes off yelling "nuke! nuke!", think of the possible rammifications(sp) of that.

Do your really think that all other countries are going to stand by while someone gets nuked?

NBC showed Palestinians celebrating in the streets, chanting God is great, "America is the head of the snake, always stands behind Israel."

Just WATCH how we stand behind them now.

Rumors out here in LA are something is suppossed to happen at 9am. We'll know in the next few minutes.

I'm just really worried about a friend of mine who lives about 6 blocks from WTC.

this is crazy i work 6 miles north of D.C. A Black Gunship just flew over my building

BTW. If Lamonte Henderson happens to be a farker. Send some e-mail out to LA.

k­en­t_­cr­ookshank­s­li­a­m­tohcom

they just woke us up over here in Korea, it's unbelievable. Is the entire military over there getting ready? What news sites are working on the web right now, no tv up here. Are phone lines up throughout the states?

Get on fark chat.

Phones are crazy here in DC. My friends keep emailing me to make sure I'm ok. We saw the Pentagon go up before CNN reported it.

All phones are up

Nodhg,

I'd stay here, all major news sites are farked...or try salon.com.

NVM- My Girlfriend works in Wheaton and could see the smoke

It's really scary here. My boss won't let us leave. Says we're better off here than running around outside. Good thing, since I live very close to Cheney's house.

There are blood collection points all around NYC.

United flight 175 Boston - LAX has crashed.

Dan Rather just called this "Pearl Harbor II".

Anyone out here know where I can get a shelter built? :|

PacLand.cc

first, thank you Drew and Co. You've provided a service here today.

Second, do not think this is an ISLAMIC attack. This is a TERRORIST attack.

Third, repercussions and consequences here are enormous. Death toll in multi-thousands, definite. Retaliation, for sure. Economic meltdown, good chance. Other unrelated violence, probable. Loss of some freedoms here in the US, you bet.

If anyone out there reading this is in the NYC area:
FIND A HOSPITAL AND DONATE BLOOD. THEY ARE EXTREMELY LOW.

Who all is taking credit? I"ve heard the Jihad, Palestine, Osama bin Laden, etc.

If you live in Wilmington NC, blood donations begin at 3pm at the Red Cross downtown...

:(

United 175 was the second plane to hit the Towers...

Whew! I am glad I did my blood duty just yesterday...

CBC just reported, a van illegally parked outside the Canadian parliament has caused the building to be evacuated... Probably just Bob McKenzie, but you never know...

9111 is not the anagram of 1999, read 9991.

from www.13abc.com
11:40 a.m.--A Boeing 767 out of Boston made an emergency
landing Tuesday at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport due to concerns that it may have a bomb aboard, said Mayor Michael R.
White. White said the plane had been moved to a secure area of the airport, and was evacuated.
White also says a second airplane in distress had passed through
Cleveland airspace earlier this morning before being handed off to
Toledo.
11:19 a.m.--In Pennsylvania, a large plane, believed to be a Boeing 747,
crashed about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. The fate of those
aboard was not immediately known and it was not clear if the crash
was related to the disasters elsewhere.
Authorities went on alert from coast to coast, halting all air
traffic, evacuating high-profile buildings and tightening security
at strategic installations. The Situation Room at the White House
was in full operation.
"Everyone was screaming, crying, running, cops, people,
firefighters, everyone," said Mike Smith, a fire marshal. "It's
like a war zone."
"I just saw the building I work in come down," said
businessman Gabriel Ioan, shaking in shock outside City Hall, a
cloud of smoke and ash from the World Trade Center behind him. "I
just saw the top of Trade Two come down."
Nearby a crowd mobbed a man on a pay phone, screaming at him to
get off the phone so that they could call relatives. Dust and dirt
flew everywhere. Ash was 2 to 3 inches deep in places. People
wandered dazed and terrified.
Evacuations were ordered at the United Nations in New York and
at the Sears Tower in Chicago. Los Angeles mobilized its
anti-terrorism division, and security was intensified around the
naval facilities in Hampton Roads, Va.
One of the planes that crashed into the Trade Center was
American Airlines Flight 11, hijacked after takeoff from Boston en
route to Los Angeles, the airline said.
The planes blasted fiery, gaping holes in the upper floors of
the twin towers. A witness said he saw bodies falling and people
jumping out. About an hour later, the southern tower collapsed with
a roar and a huge cloud of smoke; the other tower fell about a
half-hour after that, covering lower Manhattan in heaps of gray
rubble and broken glass. Firefighters trapped in the rubble radioed
for help.
"Today we've had a national tragedy," Bush said in Sarasota,
Fla. "Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an
apparent terrorist attack on our country." He said he would be
returning immediately to Washington.
The crashes at the World Trade Center happened minutes apart,
beginning just before 9 a.m.
Heavy black smoke billowed into the sky above one of New York
City's most famous landmarks, and debris rained down on the street,
one of the city's busiest work areas. When the second plane hit, a
fireball of flame and smoke erupted, leaving a huge hole in the
glass and steel tower.
John Axisa, who was getting off a commuter train to the World
Trade Center, said he saw "bodies falling out" of the building.
He said he ran outside, and watched people jump out of the first
building. Then there was a second explosion, and he felt heat on the back of neck.
WCBS-TV, citing an FBI agent, said five or six people jumped out
of the windows. Witnesses on the street screamed every time another
person leaped.
People ran down the stairs in panic and fled the building.
Thousands of pieces of what appeared to be office paper drifted
over Brooklyn, about three miles away.
Several subway lines were immediately shut down. Trading on Wall
Street was suspended. New York's mayoral primary election was
postponed. All bridges and tunnels into Manhattan were closed down.
David Reck was handing out literature for a candidate for public
advocate a few blocks away when he saw a jet come in "very low,
and then it made a slight twist and dove into the building."
Terrorist bombers struck the World Trade Center in February
1993, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000 others.
"A second occurrence is just beyond belief," said Ira Furber,
former National Transportation Safety Board spokesman.
"It's just sick. It just shows how vulnerable we really are,"
Keith Meyers, 39, said in Columbus, Ohio. "It kind of makes you
want to go home and spend time with your family. It puts everything
in perspective," Meyers said. He said he called to check in with
his wife. They have two young children.
In New York, "we heard a large boom and then we saw all this
debris just falling," said Harriet Grimm, who was inside a
bookstore on the World Trade Center's first floor when the first
explosion rocked the building.
"The plane was coming in low and ... it looked like it hit at a
slight angle," said Sean Murtagh, a CNN vice president, the
network reported.
In 1945, an Army Air Corps B-25, a twin-engine bomber, crashed
into the 79th floor of the Empire State Building in dense fog.
In Florida, Bush was reading to children in a classroom at 9:05
a.m. when his chief of staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear.
The president briefly turned somber before he resumed reading. He
addressed the tragedy about a half-hour later.
