That is amazing! It looks fake on the website, thought you hacked into CNN but then I looked out my window.

 

That hole is tremendous, it's amazing that it didn't fall over!

The 2nd plane looked like a 737. My bet is terrorists. There's no way that was an accident.

I just about saw the second plane crash into the building,

and saw both of them on fire, black smoke...

 

I can't begin to imagine what consequences this will have!

The news is that one plane crashed into each tower. The stations are reporting this as a terrorist attack. ABC (maybe the other stations, too) has actual footage of the second plane hitting the second tower.

 

Does anyone we know work there?

 

There were reports of a hijacking right before the second plane hit. I hope there were not innocent people on the planes.

If you're not at work yet, call your boss before you go. One of my coworkers is saying to stay away from public transportation, that the city is in a state of emergency.

Yup looks like it had tobe terrorism, I haven't seen the footage but some friends have and they say that the plane just flew straight into the building, not even an attempt to avoid it.

 

If those plane just took off from JFK or Laguardia then they also have a full load of jet fuel.

 

Its bad, and its gonna get worse.

I didn't hear anything about state of emergency--ugh they just said people are falling . . . . . .

 

And that it may have been a highjacking. .

More news: One plane was a 767 out of Logan Airport in Boston.

 

Airports all over the Northeast are being closed down.

 

I work at a Nuclear Plant and Security here just went on alert as a precaution.

Now they said two planes were hijacked. I can't imagine a pilot would do that---he would crash into the ocean first.

In addition, CNN just noted that the Pentagon is on fire and the White House is being evacuated.

 

Sounds like a good day to stay at home if you live in the NE.

They said the Pentagon could be hit by a 3d plane, which makes sense in a way because it's impossible to get in there.

I wonder if the people at the Pentagon thought everyone was overreacting? I wonder if the families of the victims think everyone is overreacting?

 

IMHO, I would rather be safe than sorry.

Right now, they tunnels and bridges are all closed.

Guys, please no joking!!

 

This is serious. Anyone who has a TV can see how scary it is down there.

 

I work in Times Square - We're going to evacuate

 

We work too close to NASDAQ to be comfortable.

 

Apparently an explosion just happened NEAR the World Trade Center. Which means another building was attacked.

 

I suggest everyone stay home and pray for the best.

I'm not being insensitive to the people involved, but I have been in a terrorist "event", and this happens in Europe all the time, and I think it's almost worse to cave in----I mean doesn't the US have plans for this?

 

Now someone said the second WTC collapsed.

The State Dept. too? Someone certainly did their planning.

Copnsidering that the weapon of choice for these terrorist attacks American jetlines hijacked form domestic airports...I'd say yes, it makes total an complete sense.

 

The scary thing is, no one will know if there are more out there until they get all of the planes on the ground.

 

A domestic airliner is a HUGE plane with alot of Jet Fuel. There is nothing in plave in your average US city to deal with one before it hits the ground, and who would make the call to shoot down a planeload of innocent travellers...

 

Its very clever, and its hitting the United States where it is most vulnerable, and there is little we can do to stop it until its over...hopefully it is.

 

Supposedly a huge aprt of the WTC just collpased!!!!!

 

Anyone know where Broad Street is in Manhattan? I have a sister who works there that I cannot get a hold of.

Yes, the tower where the bigger plane hit...it emploded and fell down to the city below. It was confirmed that there were people alive up there in the upper floors.

That area is all in a cloud of debris and smoke. The reporters say people are running away, some are shocked, just standing still.

 

All those people I can't even imagine, this is so surreal.

Hey GUYS!!

 

Subways and roadways in and out of Manhattan have been closed off.

 

I suggest going uptown to hang if you're stuck. That's where I'm going. I think there's problems with cell phones right now, but someone let me know if you need a place to stay

There are reports that three planes have been hijacked today. Two were from Boston. I wonder if those were the three planes that crashed already or if we're in for more.

just looked out of the window, there's so much dust and smoke, can barely see anything.

According to reports the South Tower collapsed, don't know how much of it.

The entire downtown, midtown.. must be burried in dust

I'm listening to the news on the radio as well. They've evacuated the white house, pentagon, treasury department, and they're apparently evacuating the UN building in NY and the Sears building in Chicago.

 

They're saying the pentagon was hit by a military helicopter, but the info remains sketchy, and I'm pretty blown myself.

 

Other plane was out of Newark?

 

Prayers to all.

CNN just said a 3rd plane hit the WTC causing the south tower to collapse.

 

(They just said that was unconfirmed)

This... what is happening right now, does NOT happen anywhere all the time. No terrorist attack of this magnititude has EVER happened anywhere before.

 

There may be thousands of deaths before this day is over. There is no overreacting going on here.

 

I can't get through on any phones into NYC. Does anyone know if Nathalie & Yuval are ok? They live on 14th Street. Is that far enough north to be safe?

 

Nando, it's good to hear you're ok.

Phones are not necessarily down. A lot of circuits are just over-busy, meaning you can't get a free line to make a call. I've reached a few people's voicemail. Calling from a landline/office phone works better.

 

This is really frightening, it's only now starting to feel real. Lord help us.....

All air operations into the US have been diverted. All US officials have been called home.

 

A car bomb has just exploded outside of the state building. Obviously, this was well orchestrated by some sick minds.

The plane from Boston would normally have 160 passengers. There were 90 on the flight today.

 

Both planes at the WTC were hijacked from

American Airlines in Dallas (going to LA). The second plane had 60 passengers.

 

Does anyone need anything? Is there anything those of us in other parts of the country can do?

 

Just in...A car bomb just went off outside of the State Department.

Thanks all for sharing what you've found out. I am at work and I probably would not have found out as much if you didn't. Were being released from work, the roads are already backed up and people are frantic as well. I live 25 minutes from the city and I can only imagine the chaos thats going on close to it.

 

I just heard that the other plane that was missing is down somewhere near pittsburgh.

A plane just crashed 80 miles north of Pittsburg near Summerset County airport. There is no information on whether this crash is connected in any way to the others.

Folks, I can't tell you what I am feeling.

I feel sick.

 

I am sure I can speak for us all when I say that they thoughts and prayers of the nation are with the people of New York City and the personel at the Pentagon.

 

 

EVERYONE: Remember where you are today, remember your feelings as you hear the news roll in, fix it in you mind because there are not many time where you can say that you were there when the world changed. Today the world has changed, and its not pretty. We now know what Americans felt on that "Day that would live in infamy." Remember this so that you can convey it to your children and your grandchildren. And I am not being overly dramatic. The United States has been proven vulnerable today, the last time that happened we spent the next 5 years embroiled in a world war that changed the face of the world forever. When the human toll comes in the American public will give the government Carte Blanc to resolve and rettaliate as they see fit.

 

Make no mistake, the world tomorrow will be a different place than the world today. What will come of this? Who can say? But whatever the results, good or bad, remember it, freeze it in your mind, so you can say you were there the day the world changed, and you can remember the way it was.

 

And also remember, it's not over until all the airliners in the US are on the ground.

Just checking in here trying to make sure everyone is okay. I'm stuck at my office on 36th and broadway, and I'm worried about the empire state building. I can't get home to brooklyn because the subways are shut down as are bridges and tunnels... staying where I am for now and trying to keep cool.

the guy who brought up war...war against who?

 

the people who did this are deranged but i guarantee that it was produced out of something we all did...we have the most [bleep!]ed up foreign policy this world has ever seen, utterly selfish and self defeating...

 

ugh...i really don't even want to get into this...i can't believe i still have a full day's work ahead of me...

I feel sick.

A bang woke me up this morning.

I can smell the smoke in my Brooklyn apt.

I went to the roof and saw the towers on fire.

I went back up and there was just smoke and no twin towers.

I just want everything back to normal.

We will be retaliating in a few days, that's how these things go. Thousands dead and the center of our economy is leveled. I don't know who said it prior but it is only the beginning, we have some rough days ahead.

I work on the 51st floor of WTC building #1.

 

I was glad that I was late for work. at 8:45 AM, I walked out of the subway into the concourse of the WTC when I saw billows of smoke rushing towards me and people screaming.

 

That was the first plane.

 

Then I got outside into pandemonium. There were people jumping out of the buildings because of the fire. It was disturbing.

 

After the second explosion people cleared the area and I got home safely.

you're right ogden - i was thinking about that as i walk, sit, drink coffee (don't really need it now), talk, write, listen, and watch in the midst of this news. --

taking stock of my reactions as they occur and as this all sinks in.

 

shock and disbelief mixed with helplessness for now, and i'm sure that will mutate a thousand times-

I just heard that one hijacked plane is headed for Chicago (the Sears tower has been evacuated) and one to Washington DC. The Federal Bldg. in Dallas has also been evacuated. Please be very careful today.

 

All museums and monuments in Washington DC have been closed.

Ogden is right. The world is about to change. This will either galvanize America and shake us out of our narcissistic stupor...or we're gonna suffer like no generation has since the Brits were here...I hope it will be the former.

 

War? I doubt it. We have no reason to declare war when we don't know who the enemy is. Perhaps WE are our own worst enemy. That Bin Ladin fellow did warn of an attack last week. If he did pull it off, he just signed his death warrant...

 

We all laughed off OKC when the Federal Building got bombed..."It CAN'T happen here", we all said. Well it has. There is no need to panic, but it is time to re-think priorities. It happened in WWII, it's about to happen again...

 

...And I will miss playing Windows...

 

Carry on...

Apparently Peter Jennings reported that someone declared war on us, but I got that second-hand, and I'm not sure who is supposed to have so declared.

 

Two world news agencies are saying that the PDLF (may have the letters mixed up; they were mentioned earlier) is taking credit, but supposedly sources within the organization are claiming they have nothing to do with it.

It's all I can do to not start sobbing. I'm so glad that all of you living in NY and DC who have written in are safe.

 

In Atlanta, I work one block from CNN, and so far some buildings are being evacuated and CNN has a tremendous amount of security in evidence. I just heard that the Russell Building and the Atlanta Journal Constitution are being evacuated. Figure that the last place a terrorist wants to hit is the major news artery that gives them all this spectacular coverage. I am sickened to the bottom of my soul.

Two world news agencies are saying that the PDLF (may have the letters mixed up; they were mentioned earlier) is taking credit, but supposedly sources within the organization are claiming they have nothing to do with it.

 

 

 

Both Jennings and Tom Brokaw have used expressions that indicate their beliefs that unknown terrotists have declared war on the US through these attacks.

I'm still in Midtown.

 

Co-worker convinced me to head to the other office 2 blocks East of Times Square.

 

I'm going to walk home shortly. I live up on West 82nd. Other than the Museum Of Natural History, there are no other major landmarks up there.

 

If anyone needs a (somewhat) safe place to crash head up there and leave a message on my home phone (212) xxx xxxx

 

If you have my cell, you can try it too. Somehow I got a message from Kitty that got thru.

 

Please everyone be OK and be safe. Try and stay away from any major area that could be a terrorist target. Including Train stations!!!!

 

I have no computer at home so this will probably be my last message for today.

Atlanta checking in.... nothing's happened here, but all of downtown is being evacuated. They've locked down the CNN building, so they'll still be there to report the news, but no one's allowed in or out.

I have no idea who you are, but while this may be the result of US policies abroad, don't even, for a second, start to inply that this was in any way deserved, or that we had it coming...

 

The time for analysis of our political policies will come, but it's not today, so please don't start. Today is for thinking about all of the people that have died and been injured, and for their loved ones.

 

NOTHING can justify these events and to suggest that "Well they were just retalliating for US actions"....that just cheapens the whole thing.

 

Mourne today, change tomorrow.

 

I have to agree with Lt. Jim. Someone is going to pay dearly. The US may have been self interested it's past policies, but it's been 50+ years since we have had to really secure ourselves against foreign aggression.... interesting things happen when you stab at the sleeping giant.

 

It's time to be scared, and it's time to decide what we ought to do about it.

Ogden - but how likely are retaliations, and how likely is the retaliation against and unknow foe do us any good? Once we come to the conclusion who was at fault for all this, and the logical course of action is clouded by the heat of wanting retaliation, How good will the retaliation be? Who can we declare war upon? Are we ready to declare war? How will we retaliate? How will this affect the rest of the world?

 

These are things that we have to consider - it won't be easy for the higher ups to decide the correct course of action, though action is needed.

If there are still five in the air, how will we be able to defend against them? Do we mobilize our forces and bring down those planes although there are innocent lives involved? Who else will suffer the consequences???

I am with you all retaliation will come but to whom and how big? Policies will change but today is a day for being angry, mourning, and offended no country should be subject to this.

 

 

Political Analysis is best reserved for tomorrow. This is my last post on the subject unless it is to post news.

I am so glad Yehoodi is back. It's the best source of information about people we know.

 

Is there anyone still unaccounted for? I'm worried about everyone in New York.

 

There is not much we can do about planes that are still up in the air. No matter what, if they've been taken over it's going to turn out bad.

 

I'm frightened. Thank goodness I live in a Wellesley bubble.

Cleveland checking in. According to Mayor White, there is a hijacked plane on the tarmac at Hopkins Airport that has been evacuated (thank God) and is being searched for a bomb. All of NY and DC, you are in my prayers. Thanks to everyone for updating with info because all the news sites are unreachable. Everyone in my office has been stopping by for the latest. The university has been closed (CWRU) and I'm outta here. Be safe and smart everyone. Now is the time to put aside differences and help each other. This is a time that will test our character.

I knew I shouldn't said what I felt...I'm sorry that after feeling sadness came a huge sense of guilt... but please do not say we didn't have this coming...for every news report that shows people being killed by countries using our weapons to every country's history that we felt was our god given right to change there are going to be alot of angry people who want to get us back...we pay the taxes, we made the decisions, people die...

 

the only difference is now people are dying here at home and we care, it's too bad we don't care when it happens elsewhere especially when it's because of us...and yes, i still feel guilty...

Dave from San Fran was visiting and flying back home this morning...

Steve from Toronto was flying to NYC this morning...

Haven't heard from either.

 

According to the news all flights to the US area being diverted back to Canada... I am wonder what Steve & Dave are doing.

 

I have had calls from friends from as far away as Isreal making sure Iwas not traveling and was not in NYC this week... I am OK.. I am so worried about everyone else though.

 

Toronto is practically shutting down too... the CN Tower was shut down many places are sending peole home and the subways are running at rush hour pace... many roads are jammed with traffic of peole tryign to get hoome... I can't imagine the sheer insanity of NYC right now.

 

If you dont' haveto go anywhere - stay put!

Please logon with your name not as a guest...let people know you're OK. and my heart goes out to all of you. I am glad you are all offering to help eachother with a place to crash.

This doesn't take much analysis----the Palestinians, who the US expects Israel to make nice nice with, are dancing in the streets, and passing out sweets to children to celebrate this horrific event. I think the Europeans should give them even MORE aid.

well, looks like most of downtown atlanta is evacuated now. The CDC is evacuated, as are several of the large universities (UGA in Athens, Emory, Georgia State), but the Capital building is still in session last I heard.

 

A friend of mine's brother who lives on the upper east side says that he has a friend who lives near Chambers street and that he went to his apartment on the way uptown and saw a wing from the airplane sticking out of his apartment. Apparently water and food are in short supply already, on the upper east side anyway.

 

Is this how pearl harbor felt? or much much worse?

Seattle? Not true. I would have heard. I have a very good view of the entire city. I see nothing wrong, and I hear nothing local on the radio, except that the airport's shut down like all the others.

I don't think we should come to conclusions. Let's worry about the people we care about first. Then, we can debate who's at fault.

I just saw 2 F-16s fly over Rutgers... it was really loud and low.

 

I drove up the turnpike just before the first tower fell... actually as it was falling ... i was on a crest, just right by newark airport... when it came down. the pike was pandamonium... i was passed up by a frantic driver going north bound while i was going 100mph. i was attempting to get home in north jersey...but i had to turn around since the turnpike was closed down at the holland tunnel exit. newark airport has police walking around with rifles... state troopers are everywhere out here. helicopters are flying in and out of the University hosiptal

 

i was just down in brooklyn last night picking up a cable modem... i then took the battery tunnel over into city to visit gypsy jenn... and drove right by the towers on the west side highway. is jenn okay?

 

 

even growing up in this area, i look like a tourist when around them... looking up and marveling. i cant believe they are gone.

 

my father one time told me that he remembers when he used to look at he skyline from hackensack NJ and NOT see the WTC. I just assumed that would be a memory for him... i cant believe this is happening

 

lets pray for the people that did not survive

I just got word - Dave from San Fran's flight never left the ground... and he is safe at Alana's house. He is stuck here in Toronto for who knows how long but he's OK. He forgot his passport when he left SF and now just only has a faxed copy which I doubt will be enough... but we cross that bridge later. Important thing is he's not in the air.

 

Still no word from Steve Wellman.

One thing that we can ALL do, no matter where you live, please donate blood if you can. All US metropolitan cities are short, but NYC is desperate now. Call 1-800-GIVE-LIFE to find out if you're eligible and where you can go.

 

I'm happy that Maggie flew into NYC yesterday, not today. Someone hug her for me. Any word yet from other New Yorkers?

Thanks for this reminder. This is really important. I am on the line with them right now and can't get all the way through but hopefully this is because they are swamped by calls from people who want to help.

 

What other ways can people from outside NYC help?

I think you can go to any Red Cross center, and most outlying hospitals to give blood. Confirm this with them when you get there, but as far as I know, you won't be elible if you:

1) are under 100 lbs

2) have been in a farm area in a malaria country in the last 6 months (may be longer, I don't remember)

3) have HIV

 

I don't know of any other way to help from outside the area, except to make a monetary donation to the Red Cross and maybe St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhatten. They're going to be really swamped with the shelters (need to buy/get food, blankets, beds) for the people that live in the area, and with dealing with all the bodies.

 

I'm so horrified even writing that last sentence.

 

No news yet on who was on the flight into SFO. They're evacuating the airport, though. Worried about bombs.

Apparently the Red Cross is asking that you call before you donate blood. Because all UD flights have been grounded it is difficult to ship the blood to NYC, so if you are not in the New York area you might want to check in before you go to the donation centers.

pittsburgh here---

 

 

the plane that crashed in somerset *was* highjacked.

 

westmorland county got a 911 call from a guy who locked himself in the bathroom of that plane, he confirmed it was highjacked and it wasnt a hoax. he said he heard a noise and there was smoke.

 

they were a little over 10 minutes out of pittsburgh, and they were not responding to radio calls, its thought that it might have been headed for us.

 

a lot of downtown pittsburgh has been evacuated, tunnels were closed, and it was really crazy for a while. things seem to be settling down here....

 

all is well, but some planes are still missing...

Stan from DC checking in. My thoughts are with all of you in NY and DC right now. I'm still at work because of a deadline next week but it's very hard to concentrate and focus. If my project in LA had not been postponed last month, I would have likely been on the Dulles to LA flight.

 

Take care,

dallas is fine, i got in from united last night. everyone here is praying for nyc and dc. though i haven't lived in nyc for years, it's been a day of frantic calls to check in on old friends.

 

i think the very existence of this thread is exactly what america best embodies - the willingness to care for those unknown to you and far away. it's a sad thing that some people feel a need to remove that compassion from the world.

 

ogden is right - this is the new world.

Many people were evacuated before the towers collapsed. My whole office on the 51st floor in the North Tower, is accounted for. Linda has relatives on the 60th floor who all got out in time.

 

The day care center at the WTC was safely evacuated as well.

i agree with what was said above. this isn't the time to look for villains. this is time to comfort the victims. the terrorists are not going anywhere . there is always tomorrow for them, the day of reckoning, but there wont be another day for too many people.

 

however, if you are suffering form trigger finger. there are only so many people that could pull this kind of operation off. and i am sure that FBI and CIA knows who they are. rest assured there will not have a peaceful life. they will be hunted down, and hopefully brought in front of the court and not just assassinated.

 

the sad part is that unfortunately , there are people out there who are willing

to kill civilians just to make a point.

c50s here checking in from midtown west/Hell's Kitchen area. The sun has come back out again, I guess most of the smoke has cleared. My neighborhood has been filled w/the sounds of sirens from ambulances and police cars all day. A weird smell in the air.

Glad to hear Zeno and Gary are ok and thank god I don't work in the WTC anymore.

It's a weird feeling to realize in an emergency that we in Manhattan are trapped on the island w/all the trains locked up.

I must admit I am still concerned about the Empire State building being a target.

Really glad tho that alot of people are checking in and are ok.

This is just insanity. The film footage is really hard to take. A reporter said she saw @5 people falling from the building. This is just crazy.

RedBella! Glad to hear you're ok. I finally reached Nathalie on the phone today. She and Yuval are okay.

 

As of now, all US commercial flights are on the ground and there are no new reports of hijacking. In total, four commercial flights were hijacked. Two crashed into WTC, one into Pentagon, and one south of Cincinatti. An earlier report indicated the Cincinatti crash may have been a plane that was originally sighted as a hijacked flight headed for DC.

 

American Flight #11, BOS > LAX

American Flight #77, Dulles > LAX

United Airlines Flight #93, Newark > SFO

United Airlines Flight #175, BOS > LAX

 

There were no counts available for people on board flight #93, but the passengers and crew members of the other flights totaled 219 people. There is no estimate of how many thousands were lost in the WTC and surrounding neighborhoods and in the Pentagon.

 

God be with us all. The world as we know it is changing and will never be the same again.

My thoughts and prayers are with everyone in and around the areas of this tragic event. I am slowly getting news from friends and realtives ither traped at airports or in NYC.

 

The country is in a panic even government buildings in Denver, CO are evacuated.

 

I realy hope this dose not escolate into anthing more tragic. My bosses mom called up crying she said "I don't want ot have to live through this again, I remeber Peal Harbor" That was frightning to hear. I don't understaind polotics or goverment and I surly don't understaind fanatics or religous zellots. I just wish we could all get along as a planet under mother earths care, we are all so much more simmilar than we think, why is peace so hard?

 

I just want the skyline I grew up with back and people not gone. This is a shocking tragidy and my heart goes out to everyone who has lost anyone involved in it.

 

Blessings to all the emergency workers who also risk there lives to help others!

 

Blessings on us all give us streagth to deal with whatever may be ahead.

Very scary. Used to work there on the midnight to 8AM shift. I'd have been right there when it happened.

I spoke to Cheryl, aka Miss Steak, she is fine. I think Franky is trapped on Staten Island.

I left a message for Fredo and have yet to hear from him. I know he works down there so I am a little worried.

Linda Sue is A ok.

 

Park Slope is very smokey right now.

We were up on Linda's roof and we saw ashes and piece of white office paper with singed edges was just floating through the air like a bird..

Here in San Diego, local reports state that

 

* the airport is closed

* the Marine and Naval bases are on alert (snarling up traffic as they check vehicles), * the US-Mexico border crossing remains open but with Level 1 (highest) security alert

 

Our prayers go out to those in New York City and Washington, DC.

 

Please keep checking in. We all want to know that you are safe.

Glad to see so many people checking in. Keep the reports coming.

 

My cousin works for the Associated Press and is currently in the midst of things covering these events. My family had the chance to speak to him briefly and he told us that hospitals were running out of blood.

 

If you live in the NYC or DC area and you can travel somewhat, PLEASE go to your nearest medical center or hospital and offer to donate blood. It's the best way you can personally help the victims of these terrible events. The blood you give could be the difference between life and death for some of the people who have been injured.

Torx, my point was not to advocate retaliation, though I think something has to happen eventually. It was more to point out the absolute magnitude of what has happened, and how far reaching the effects of today's events will be.

 

Also to say to everyone to watch the news, watch the tragedy, take all of the emotion and the horror in, and process it, so that when it comes time for the American people to decide what happens to our country as a result if this attack, we do it with minds and hearts that no longer stand on the hair trigger that they do today. The United States must protect itself and retaliate against acts of aggression aimed towards it, but the degree to which we do this, and the method used, remain to be seen. The next few days will be very turbulent as the horror and shock translate into fear and anger. Stories of tragedy and terror will be everywhere, but there will also be stories of heroism and bravery in the face of unimaginable odds...It's important to remember that one of the funny things about this country is that no matter how divided we stand in everyday life, in the face of adversity we have an incredible ability to work together and overcome the most incredible odds.

 

In the past, when the population of the US has been galvanized and solidly together, behind the actions of the government, some incredible and amazing things have been accomplished. We pulled the world back from the brink of fascist domination, we put a man on the Moon in less than a decade. The United States, when truly united, is an awesome force to unleash, we need to remember that, and use that force wisely, and it will take clear heads to do that. So watch, listen, absorb, feel, talk about everything you can so that when the time comes for you, us, the citizens of the United States, to make decisions about how we go forward in the world of tomorrow, we do it with full knowledge of these events, but without the anger, shock and fear of the moment.

 

And always, pray for the victims, their families, and their friends, donate blood, and do what you can. I heard an estimate that there might have been as many as 10,000 people working in each tower, and 5,000 visitors in the WTC overall. That's 25,000 potential casualties in the WTC alone, no one in the US is going to escape being touched by this in some way.

 

And keep the news flowing here, we all have swing-friends that we are worried about in NYC, let us know you/they are OK. I am not sure there is much we can do at the moment, but to all the NYC'ers; you have a big ol' National Lindy Hop family behind you, keep us all in the loop and let us know what we can do to help.

Yipes! Looks like the Mexican border is closed after all:

 

Tuesday September 11 1:38 PM ET (Reuters)

 

Mexico-U.S. Border Closed, Flights Canceled

 

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The long land border between the United States and Mexico was partially closed and all flights

from Mexico to the United States suspended after attacks on U.S. landmarks on Tuesday morning, U.S. and Mexican

officials said.

 

``The American side is closed. That is outside our jurisdiction. Mexico closed nothing,'' said a spokeswoman with Mexico's

communications and transport ministry.

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has cancelled all elective surgeries to allow doctors and nurses to help out and free up any available blood supplies......EMS and Fire Rescue staff from South Jersey have been mobilized North.....the US Navy has sent ships up to NY waters to protect against any possible attacks from there.....ALL federal buildings in the US have closed in addition to DisneyLand and DisneyWorld...I even heard talk of closing down Las Vegas....Philadelphia landmarks and schools have all been closed.

 

Planning on calling the Red Cross next to donate some O+ blood.....

Not sure what to say. I'm glad so many people got out - reports were sketchy on TV.

 

UPenn is shut down as is much of Philly.

Claudine, early today, Linda said that Gracie and Mike were ok, and that Adriana worked uptown, far from the events.

 

I haven't spoken to any of them but for now, I'm trusting that they are ok.

Casualties are coming into Boston too, I have heard several reports of Hospitals clearing out all non-emergency patients to make room for incoming people from NYC.

 

BTW: Total KUDOS to the Yehoodi staff for keeping things up and running amidst the constant barrage of hits, so that the news and information could flow today. Thanks very much. I think I got more info of here than got anywhere else online, when I could even get onto those sites that is.

I hate this helpless feeling. I know I can't really do anything to help other than send my prayers to NY and DC, and donate blood in a few days...

 

I'm so relieved to see posts from our friends in NY. Hang in there, everyone.

"I heard an estimate that there might have been as many as 10,000 people working in each tower, and 5,000 visitors in the WTC overall. That's 25,000 potential casualties in the WTC

alone, no one in the US is going to escape

being touched by this in some way. "

 

Actually, I'm sorry to say that CNN reported that about 150 000 workers and visitors go to the WTC every day. I can't say if that number is accurate but if it is, it's scary..

 

When I saw the towers crumble and all the devastation on television, I broke down and cried. It's hard for me to think of people being so inhuman. Stay safe dancers, I'm glad to hear that you are ok, even if I don't know you yet. You are in our thoughts.

I am so happy to see everyone checking in safe and sound. My prayers are with you all.

 

I finally got released from work about an hour ago. We basically had a lockdown here at Randolph AFB in Texas. From what I understand all military bases are on what is called ThreatCon Delta which is basically a level of security reserved for times when were at war. Theres pritty intense security percautions here. From what I heard we werent even at this threatcon during desert storm/shield.

Unfortunately, most likely this wont be the end of bloodshed. The US wont stand by and let this happen. Someone will pay dearly I fear. As Ogden said this will definately change a lot in the US, and again the last time something of this magnitude happened to the US we ended up in war for years. (Pearl Harbor)

 

BREAKING NEWS: Lots of explosions going on in Kabul, Afghanistan.

 

My prayers are with everyone in NY and Washington.

I am so glad to hear that everyone seems to be accounted for, for the most part. I had a few people that I love that I was very worried about, but thankfully they are all accounted for.

The scariest part of all this is the fact that a month from today I am scheduled to fly into Washington DC. I don't know if I can get on the plane now. I'm scared, you guys...this seems so surreal. Classes were cancelled for the most part at SMU today, and we had a very touching vigil at noon on the main quad of the university.

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you in NYC, DC, and everyone else we don't even know who have been affected by today's horrible tragedy.

 

With love and faith,

Jessica

Thank god for Yehoodi. I got most of my news during the day on this thread. My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in NYC and DC.

 

Anyone heard from Emily (Yehoodi name: fritzie) or Ann Amarga? They both work at PBS Thirteen. And Ann is subletting somewhere in Manhattan. Not sure where.

The most up-to-date coverage I've found online so far is at ABC.

http://www.abcnews.com/

No details yet on the explosions in Afganistan. I'm watching ABC World News Tonight streamed online, and they haven't mentioned it yet.

I'm working at home, getting CNN coverage. The explosions in Afghanistan are reportedly not U.S. military attacks.

historical perspective: in 1944, the Empire State Bldg was run into by a United States C-5 Bomber. It was a very foggy day and navigation equipment was not what it is today. Damage was minimal.

 

Today's planes were filled with enough fuel to fly across the country. Also, they were probably traveling faster than the 1944 bomber.

 

Get well soon, NYC

This morning, it was just another bombing in NYC. During my 10:00 class, the guy next to me was checking the news all class on his mobile. I ran to the labs at 12 to check the news, and I read Yehoodi. You guys have made this so real for me. It's no longer something I saw on the news. It's something that's happening to people who I know. I've never actually met most of you (any of you in NYC), but I still feel like you're a part of my life because of Yehoodi. Thank you for keeping me grounded and real. And thank you so much for the updates, especially the list of who's accounted for. All of you are special to me, and I'm praying for all of you as well as all those who were and are affected by this.

 

Ogden, a beautiful post on page 3 that sent chills down my spine. I had thought about that before, but for some reason when I read that post it became more real. This is a day that we shouldn't forget. It will be in our kids' history books. I can't imagine what some of you have seen, because I'm sure the news hasn't captured nearly what it's like right now in NYC.

 

Thinking of you...love to all.

Yehoodi has definitely been great, and has bringing this tragedy closer to home. I really, really hope that everyone comes out of this okay.

 

Maybe we should list everyone that we have heard from. Is everyone else okay? I am sure that there are some of you that know people, non-swing, who worked in there as well. We are all here for support if you need us.

 

Stay out of government buildings,

Ricki

I believe there's another thread that has a list of people... check that if you're interested.

 

Thank you to all the Yehoodites who kept us up to date. We love you, New York!

I just got back from Prospect Park.

I kept noticing what a beautiful night it was, how green the grass was, the subliminity of the rolling hills. The sun was setting and I saw a blue heron, some butterflies and lots of happy dogs. Amidst the chirping crickets I saw several fluttering papers fall from the dusk sky with black singed edges that had traveled the sweeping air currents all the way from the twin towers.

I worked on the 51st floor of the World Trade Center, tower #1.

 

This morning, I took the N/R train to where the subway exit blends into the concourse underneath the WTC. At 8:45 AM I got out and started walking to the basement entrance to my building, but saw billows of smoke rushing towards me. People were screaming to get the hell out.

 

After exiting the building, it was snowing office paper and debris. On Church Street, from the street that borders the eastern block, a gaping hole 10 stories high breathed flame and smoke. Mobs of people were trotting away on the street; some were crying, worried about friends and colleagues. Then I witnessed the first few people, plunging to their deaths, apparently to escape the fire that would have painfully scorched them to death.

 

By this time most people were gathered around watching the building burn and calling people. I ran into an hysterical colleague who I tried to comfort. We then witnessed more people jumping. Sick of the ghastliness, we went out of sight of the buildings behind Trinity Church on Broadway.

 

A few minutes later, a second explosion shook the area, and panicked people ran away. It was complete mayhem. People tripped over each other. Mothers were protecting their baby carriages. In the fray I lost touch with my colleague. I was in complete shock, but I managed to walk home safely.

 

Many people knew I worked at the World Trade Center tower. Thank you all for calling and checking in on me. I am a very lucky person to have so narrowly escaped tragedy.

I do not discount your feelings, but this statement has to be one of the most dim-witted things I've read. Just another bombing in NYC? Are you kidding me? That was your initial reaction? I don't even live in NYC, but the news rocked me to my core. It did that to everyone in this country and abroad. You're telling me that it took posts on this site to shake your soul? How sad.

Sad it is. Some people live too much for swing.

 

People, please realize the NYC is a BIG place, just because people live here doesn't mean they were hurt or even anywhere near the towers.

 

I know on the news they made it sound like the whole city is a war zone and covered with dust and debris. It was one area of one borough that was demolished.
