Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 I know this is political but - Oh my God. Just heard news that the twin tower World Trade Centre have collapsed, and that a plane has crashed onto Pentagon too. It's crazy but my first raction is to ring all my friends in the US even though only one of them is likely to be anywhere near the Pentagon. My brother is in Chicago. Don't think there are potential targets there is there. Holding my breath in case London is on the list too. Karina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My BIL actually told me about the collapse of the second twin tower before the news reported it here. Ruthie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 Well, have just logged on and read this: all the kids are home so don't want to turn on TV if it's distressing - will go and get radio. What's going on?? Are they bombs, or what??

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 See www.cnn.com for breaking news in brief. Basically, both towers of World Trade Center have collapsed after hijacked passenger planes were crashed into them. Also Pentagon similar thing, though only some of it damaged.

The former twin towers have completely collapsed, fuelling the fears that there *were* timed bombs on board the planes. Horrifically the highjacked planes were passenger carrying jets.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2001 Report Share Posted September 11, 2001 Have just been reading CNN and listening to the radio. I'm chilled. I hope all of you who have friends/relatives out there get some good news, and very soon. My thoughts are with all of you and all of those poor people involved.

He & his wife (8 months pregnant) are both OK, my brother was working from home today and my SIL rang in before she went downtown Chicago just to be told that her building was being evacuated (she works next to the Sears Tower). My SIL's family are all in New York and she is still waiting to her from some of them. Her elderly granddad is in a hospital very close to the WTC - they think he is OK but it'll probably be very traumatic for him with all the smoke and perhaps casualties coming in. Noone can visit him as everything is at a standstill downtown New York. But we're lucky noone we know seems to have been killed. Still waiting to track down a friend who is a US congressman.
