I know this is not the forum & this is NOT a troll post. Get to a TV as fast as you can. Two planes have just crashed into the world trade centers in New York. The scenes are stunning.
Unconfirmed reports say these may have been hijacked airliners & it was intentional.

Reports are that one plane was an American Airlines flight from Boston.
They have video of the second plane hitting the second tower. Apparently someone was taping the first tower when you see the 2nd plane fly into the picture and hit the 2nd tower.
I feel sick.

The president, here in Sarasota, is being rushed to the airport. Wondering if they will use Air Force one??. Just heard several sirens South of Sarasota, all police heading for the Sarasota Air port.

When it is found out who the pathetic cowards responsible are we are going to war. Pretty sure about that.

May God grant the souls and the families of the victims peace, and strength to the people who are attempting to rescue the surviors.
And may the evil that caused it be found out and punished. May the individuals behind this never find peace in this world or the next.
Evidently one of the Trade Center's Buildings have collapsed completely. The devastation is incredible.

These terrorists don't seem to understand that we (Americans) may seem like we don't get along and do nothing but argue and are a contentious bunch, but we can and do find common ground when any of us are attacked. Now they are going to see what we can do when we get pissed off, and I don't think they really know what that can mean...
After the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, before the Declaration of War was delivered, a Japanese Admiral said that what they had done that day was awaken a sleeping giant. The alarm has gone off again

They reported on ABC that ALL government federal buildings in DC are evacuated now.
My husband works down there, and it will be hard getting all the people on the Metro (subway) and getting them out of DC so that the military or police can do their jobs.
On the other hand if a car bomb just exploded outside the state department the metro may be targeted too!

I am worried about the boys in the service and those who recently separated. My boy is just 3 years out of the navy as a top-notch jet engine mechanic. I am very worried for him..

767 reported down in western pennsylvania.
Oddly, while watching this, my phone rang & caller ID showed a call from NYC. Some poor man was trying to call his sister in my town & got my number by mistake. He was 4 blocks from the towers when it hit. He said it was beyond words.
I'm trying to reach his sister for him since he said it was almost impossible to get a phone line out. He said the worst was the bodies falling from the sky from the towers.
This is almost too surreal to be believed!
Current reports are many trapped EMTs at the WTC sites.

I'm just heard from a customer who is in Columbus Ohio that they've evacuated the State Capital in Ohio and halted all traffic in and out of downtown Columbus.
Columbus is about 3 hrs. from me.
