[wordup] Planes Crash into World Trade Center!!

[Adam Shand]

a friend was just reminding me of a quote from gwb a few weeks ago, i
can't find it online so this is a second hand paraphrase, but didn't he
say something like "... can only dip into the social security fund in
times of recession and times of war".

further the best page i've been able to find so far is the london times.

With all due respect, I think it already *is* a war, the only thing
remaining to be determined is our level of participation, and the degree to
which we persecute those responsible.  This does not mean that I advocate
tanks in Syria, we should be discriminating in our selection of targets.

People walk away from the World Trade Center as ash rains down.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Terrorists struck the United States Tuesday morning in
harrowing, widespread attacks that included at least three commercial jet
crashes into significant buildings.

In the first attack, a plane hit the north tower of the World Trade Center
in Manhattan shortly before 9 a.m., followed by another plane into the
second tower about 20 minutes later. Both towers later collapsed.

American Airlines Boeing 767 that had been hijacked after take-off from
Boston. American Airlines told CNN that it lost two planes in "tragic
accidents," one leaving Boston with 81 passengers and 11 crew aboard, and
the second leaving Washington Dulles airport with 58 passengers and six
crew aboard. Both planes were en route to Los Angeles

About an hour later, a plane crashed into the Pentagon in Washington, part
of which later collapsed.

Sources say a second plane was heading toward the Pentagon; F-16 jets were
in the air monitoring it.

The Pentagon, the White House, the State Department, the Justice
Department, the Capitol, the CIA and all other government buildings in
Washington evacuated.

In the first ever national ground stop of aircraft, all flights nationwide
have been stopped at their departure airports.

All international flights were diverted to Canada.

Israel has evacuated all its missions around the world.

President Bush cancelled an appearance in Florida to return to Washington,
calling the crashes "apparent terrorist attacks" and "a national tragedy."

In Chicago, the Sears Tower was evacuated; United Nations in New York
evacuated.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta was evacuated.

The New York Port Authority said it had closed all bridges and tunnels
into the city.

New York's Bellevue Hospital was designated command central for handling
the catastrophe. Several hospitals have already reported receiving victims
with burns and head injuries.

Large plane crashed 80 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but it was
unknown if this crash was connected to terrorist attacks.

U.S. stock markets were closed after the New York attacks.
