I wonder if CNBC had live footage of the NYSE as the crash happened. Was anyone watching it? Poor Bob Pizzani.

ok....im praying for all of the families of these victims, but I just had a thought...if the world trade center is down, is our economy gonna be screwed? I was told that without trade, the economy will collapse. Im not trying to be mean or anything, but it's just a thought.

<< ii bet Bush is being scurried over to NORAD as we speak >>


You watch too many war games movies. Why would he go to Colorado when the same thing exists in Maryland. This is also where the Pentagon officials would be evacualted to.

I think it depends on how many more attacks there will come. Let's just wait and see what happens, it's no time for predictions.

that is not the only building in the world. Its an office building. Things will be hurting, but our economy wont die. It will CERTAINLY be uplifted if there was a war, though...

Yah. I doubt there was a bomb planted in the World Trade Centre. Both the buildings collapsed due to the plane crashes.

<< Part of Pentagon collapsed and on fire!!!!! DID I HEAR THAT RIGHT???? >>



Yes, that's right. I can see the smoke. There are rumors about other buildings in DC being hit, but that is unconfirmed. For those people who don't know, the Pentagon is in Arlington, VA, across the Potomac River from DC.

there was talk about this in the government for the last 20 years

there were reports of threats of the same kind in 1990. airplane hijackers would destroy all flights that were in the air. they would be destroying very important buildings and such.

Pretty ironic, if any...World War II got us out of the 1940's depression...and now we have a recession brought on by the dotcom economy bubble collapse. I sincerely hope there is NO war. I'm not religious, but god help us all.

This is so sad. I wonder if trhis is kind of how people felt when Pearl Harbor was attacket. God be with all the familes that have lost people, I think it was Iraq who did this, but I hope I'm mistaken because if they did we could see War.

Man, I don't think that the building collasped on their own from the effects of the plane crash. Probably weakened severely fromt he crash. I heard on CNN that the building were engineered to withstand a 707 crash. BTW, the were built in 1973 and 1974 respectivly.

Apparently crashing planes into buildings isn't an original plan today. There were plans to do this to major NYC buildings approximately 6-7 years ago with the original WTC bombing.
