Are you listening to the news?
They're talking about a plane that crashed into the World Trade Center,
then another plane crashed into a building next to it.
Messed up, huh?!!!

Yeah..I heard that on the radio too.
Also, I saw a picture on the MSNBC website that showed both buildings at the point that the 2nd plane hit the tower.

Todd:

They're now saying that it's a terrorist attack...
BOTH towers were hit and one of the planes, they're certain, was hijacked.
They (FBI) are thinking this was a planned event...
especially since this is the busiest time of the day for the WTC,
so terrorists would be able to take out a whole bunch of people at once.

The WTC is on fire!

I just told you this, Mandy, but Becky, Todd, they said that the first
plane that crashed into the World Trade Center they believe was hijacked
from BOSTON. It could have been anybody on that plane, you guys, some
random people totally unaware, just getting on their plane home - it could
have even happened yesterday.

I can't stop shaking. I feel like I am babbling.

I just heard something about that, and I was thinking the same thing. I
imagine you're feeling pretty shaken by this.
FLASH!! I just heard that there was an explosion at the Capital.

Are you guys able to get any work done?
I just wanna listen to what's going on.
Our phone queue has dropped drastically in number!!
I guess people are
glued to their radios and TVs.

The second tower hit in New York collapsed.
They were still evacuating, I'm sure, and that means also rescue workers and anyone in the surrounding
area have been killed/seriously injured.
The smoke cloud spread out throughout so much of the city in that area....

Also, TWO of the 3 planes that have caused the tragedy were hijacked from
Boston.

I just saw footage of the towers falling. It was so surreal.
I heard something about another hijacked plane from Pittsburgh that is heading for
Washington. I don't know if this is true or not.

Well, I think this means war.....

E-mail seemed excruciatingly inadequate.
