!!!a plane has crashed into the world trade center building

[LordJezo]

Just hit the news.. hit one of the towers at about the 100th floor... hole in the side of the building with smoke and fire pouring out of it. That is all everyone knows at this point... go watch the news for more..

This terrorist attack is a unique event in U.S. history, well deserving of in depth discussion. However, this thread is getting too long and taking a long time to load. Please continue this discussion here

Please try to keep your discussions on topic and away from hateful rhetoric directed at political, ethnic, etc. groups.

Wow, I just turned on CNN!!! That's crazy. How in the f@#K do you hit a building!

 

[rudder]

witnesses are saying it was a twin engine jet... like a 737. I hope it was not an airliner. (talking to wife while she is watching it on tv, so I do not know)

 

[sciencewhiz]

That wasn't any small airplane that did that :Q

 

[hoe4damoney]

Who said this was a missile?


God the thing is like a chimney... brown smoke pouring from slashes on two sides of the building and staining the sky.




This is incredible!

 

[SpongeBob]

That wasn't any small airplane that did that

No kidding, that's a lot of damage. There seems like an awful lot of smoke too.
