Planes crashe into World Trade Center

[Vocals count]

Two planes crashed into the World Trade Center (New York). First, one plane went into one of the towers then the news cameras caught the 2nd plane crash into the tower.

This can not be an accident. I just don't see how.

[purpleangel]

i saw that second one live,,,,omg,,:( you see this in films not live on tv,,,,omg

this is no accident no way,,i hope there weren´t too many people in those buildings

[Mr. Bitch]

omg! i know, it was a highjacker. :(
poor people

[purpleangel]

these are terriorist act,,,,nothing else,,,, :( i can´t believe i just saw i plane go thorough a house...

[Vocals count]

The State Dept just put out a warning against potentional threat against the US Friday.

[Mr. Bitch]

you know that those buildings were full of people!
it is a tuesday morning,on a work day.

[lonely973]

A guy in my class just pulled up the news on the computer.This is sick and sad.I don't understand the way these people think.

[purpleangel]

i know, you could see that second plane going right through it,,,,on Live Tv...this is no accident :(

[Mr. Bitch]

omg i know! i was watching and then i saw a 2nd airplne, and then it just flew into the other tower! :(

[purpleangel]

they are worried that the towers are gonna fall,,,,the smoke is still going on,,,,

[Mr. Bitch]

that was a 757! a huge commercial plane!
i hope they don't fall!

[purpleangel]

that was a big plane....that second one....i can´t believe i´m actually watching these scenes right now


Bush speaking...

[Mr. Bitch]

i can't watch it anymore! you can see the towers on fire and smoke pouring out of the building! i just pray that the towers do not fall.

you can see the plane right their this is a big plane :(

[LuLu]

I work in a Federal Building and I work on the Ninth Floor. You can see the city of New York and the two towers as I write to you guys. Its up in flames smoke everyone here is looking out the window. Its so sad and scary. :( :(

[lonely973]

:( :( :(
I pray for everyone in the building.

[Vocals count]

I think they said roughly 15,000 people work in the towers. The first one crashed at approx. 8:50 am EST, the next 18 minutes after. I work on an AFB, military installations are going to lock down. I remember when I was stationed in Georgia and we were executing bombing attacks a couple of years ago; the traffic to get onto the base was unbelievable. They checked every car, everyone for DoD (Dept of Defense) decals on their cars and their military ID cards.

The US is not seen as a super power, when we didn't get Saddam it simply opened everyone elses eyes. I get so sick of people not supporting the military and criticizing its' actions.

[purpleangel]

you must be in a shock, these images are horrible for me too watch and i´m not even near the site...:(

[JAJSShaggz]

The NYC terrorists can lik my sak, and when they done wit dat they can kiss my @$$ crack.. thats ****in sad.. i hope them terrorists die

[Mr. Bitch]

[purpleangel]

[Vocals count]

[Fellow_fan_of_Christina]

I've heard reports of a fire at the White House. To be honest, I'm a little worried. I live close to an air force base.

[niceguy]

Im fearing for the nuclear missle to crash into the united states. this is scary.

[lonely973]

oh ok,it's unreal for me too even though I'm in jersey.I'm in class so I can't just turn on a tv and see what's going on.The news sites I've checked are down b/c so many people tried to get to it.It's like being in a little box with people telling you about horrible things going on outside.I hate being in the dark like this.

[purpleangel]

[Vocals count]

I'm in Florida too. All flights nationwide have been cancelled. I was calling some of my friends who work in a military building but its not on a base, they are just kind of out there in a regular building in the city. They had to get offthe phone with me and I think they are evacuating their building.

[Vocals count]

AP reports car bombing at State Dept.

[missjanet]

Prayers! People we are in crisis! Everyone, take a moment of silence and pray! WE don't know what is going to happen next, we need to be prepared. Pray for the families of the many victims in the planes and building, this is only going to get better before it gets better! We are going to, in the end of the day, have lost a great many precious lives. Pray for the people who might not have past yet, and pray for those who have already been taken to have a safe trip to heaven.

[Edited by missjanet on September 11th, 2001 at 07:40 AM]

[lonely973]

It's been estimated that 60,000 people have lost their lives already.This is worse than the oklahoma bombing.

[purpleangel]

they reported that the pentagon had fallen ?

[niceguy]

if all of the government has been bombed, this country will be no more. Our stock market already collapsed...as i see it// there will be no more constrtution.. we would be in the dark ages.. this is war.. i see it as war.. World War 3:(

[purpleangel]

part of the pentagon....

[lonely973]

Yeah,on the bsb board (i'm in school and nowhere near tv) that a part of the pentagon has collapsed.
http://talk.livedaily.citysearch.com/showthread.php?threadid=125406

[missjanet]

do we have confirmation that 60,000 is the current number?

[Vocals count]

Plane crash 80 miles SE of Pittsburgh, they don't know if it is related. They are now saying no car bomb at State Dept.

[lonely973]

no it's not confirmation,just an estimate.I'm relying on the word of people who are near a tv set.

[Kha]

can someone says how many things were hit now??

[lonely973]

ok,I just read that it's confirmed that at least 150 people are dead.and quite possibly there's been a 4th explosion.

[purpleangel]

plane hijacked only 10 min away from the Washington...omg...

[riversizrad]

around 60,000 people are in each tower alone.
a few more planes have been hijacked.
A car bomb went off by the capitol

[Fellow_fan_of_Christina]

do we know what size plane was hijacked? can it be confirmed?

[Venisenvy]

that plane going to washington is said to be the one that crashed in pittsburgh if it really did

[lonely973]

and there's a crash just outside of pittsburg,but it's not known if it's related.

[purpleangel]

Omg,.what´s happening,,,,:(

[niceguy]

omg.. that many?

[Venisenvy]

and there could easily be more to come...what if they take out all our news stations, like Fox, CNN, MSNBC....

[niceguy]

only war will solve this.. isnt this world a cruel world?

[lonely973]

there are conflicting #'s but it has to be in the thousands.There is no way they could've even saved half the people in those buildings.
All this chaos is going on right around me.I'm afraid to get on the damn train 2 hrs. from now.

[Vocals count]

Do you know how many people work at the Pentagon. Aside from the WTC, its one of the biggest office building in the US. God, please let my friends be OK.

[purpleangel]

i hope you friends are okay :(,

[lonely973]

"8 planes were hijacked and 5 are still in the air.

This makes me sick to my stomach"

also,there's one plane unaccounted for.Yikes!

[purpleangel]

omg it´s never ending...

[Stefani13]

I've been watching the news since early this morning (6:30 AM Pacific Time) and just logged on right now...I'm still in shock...this is just craziness. :(

[Venisenvy]

theres are alot of rummors, all we can say is the 2 in new york, the 1 in the pentagon, and the one is pittsburgh is probably true, but the rest about 5 still in the air dont believe it, there was no car bomb in washington that was denied.

[niceguy]

This is the first time i have ever realize that I valuable my life and the air i breathe. I realize how many people had died and I feel bad for what happen. How cruel can a person be doing this to innocent people? How many little boys and girls have to realize that they dont have a mom or dad to come to? This attack that the terrorist did on this day. September 11, 2001 will never be forgotten. This thought is in my head right now and will never be forgotten. For all the people who risk there lives, they dont deserve this. Whoever is responsible for this terrorist attack.. Why did you do this?

Whoever is responsible should be dealt with and I have no pity or mercy on there soul.

[Stronger4Brit2]

I live in Boston, only buildings are being evacuated but I dont think anything is happening here, but its still sad for everyone that was involved :(

[Vocals count]

They just said there is a possibility that United Airlines flight 93 crashed at Camp David. They are still trying to verify.

[Kha]

niceguy, unfortunately, USA is NOT the first country that this happen to it, my country had this thing before, actually someone i know very well lost his father as a POW, and still, it is all about politics, something must be attached that that

[Stefani13]

One of my friends is actually at NYU right now...and she was in class while it happened. I have a couple friends in Boston too...but they're all okay. Just in shock like the rest of us.

[DreamyEyesFan]

I saw it. I saw the entire thing happen. I knew that plane was too close. Oh my god! :(

[Fellow_fan_of_Christina]

have they verified the Camp David attack?

[JAJSShaggz]

sad....

[Bunsen]

You were there, Lauren?

[flutterbaby]

How many people died?

[DreamyEyesFan]

No, but I saw it from a building not far away. People in the World Trade Center were jumping from the building, comitting suicide. New York is insane, it's like a movie I can't even describe it. People are panicking all over.

[niceguy]

like a movie? its worse than a movie. This is a nightmare

[Bunsen]

That's what I meant. You saw it there, not on TV. I can't imagine what it's like :( It still feels so unreal and when I only see flaming buildings it doesn't look so bad because you can't see any dead people...

[Stronger4Brit2]

They just found a bomb in a high school :o

[flutterbaby]

In NY?

[Stronger4Brit2]

yeah

[Stefani13]

Ya, I just heard that...dude, who the hell is doing this?!? :(

[purpleangel]

they are showing footage from Palenstine, and people are celebrating,,,how sick is that :mad:

[Stronger4Brit2]

:( their s thats why

[flutterbaby]

Whaaaat? So the terrorists are from Palenstine?

[purpleangel]

yeah they showed footage from Palenstin, ? and they are basicly cheering....yeah that´s right...

[niceguy]

omg.. those people are sick

[purpleangel]

yeah pretty much,,,:mad:

[djmoonlighter19]

Yall 2 more planes crashed down of American Airlines and one of United Airlines and they are thinking another has gone down of United Airlines too.. Thats 4 planes gone down just in the last 40 min not including the three that crashed into the buildings in New York and WAshington. I don't know if we will be seeing the Latin Grammys tonight, esp if flights are canceled.

[Stefani13]

OMG, what the hell is happening...this is just...ughh...

[Kiki_K]

I'm looking at the whole scene from live coverage on Croatian tv, and I'm very sorry for what happend. My friends are here, and it all looks very bad.
Our thoughts are with people who lost their loved ones.
peace and love.

[flutterbaby]

How safe are we??:(:(:( I'm not even from the U.S. and I'm scared crapless.

[Venisenvy]

i think we all are scared now, this is something we never expected.

[Kha]

purpleangel, they lived in that type of things more than anyone else in the world. They suffered it so they can't be that sick. Something must be making them do so and i am not going to jump to conclusions before i know what is making them as so

[purpleangel]

we have an american airbase here in iceland, and they also closed the street to the American Embassy here,,,and they are making more stuff like that :(

[Stefani13]

I don't know how safe anyone is anymore. :( My deepest codolences to anyone who was injured/killed in this senseless tradgedy.

[Diva4230]

This is unreal.. We were let out of class today.. There was a plane crash here in the Pittsburgh area in Somerset Co. So pretty much anything in this city is being shut down. The larger buildings in the downtown Pittsburgh area are being shut down, many local Colleges are being shut down, and I think high school and grade schools are being let out as well..

They even shut down roadways downtown, the tunnels have been shut down, bridges have been shut down.. The traffic just on the road home from class today was unbelivable.. I have never seen such traffic in the school area.. I can only imagine what it must be like in NYC, DC, And downtown here.. I prayers go out to everyone right now..

[Edited by Diva4230 on September 11th, 2001 at 08:42 AM]

[djmoonlighter19]

I am in literal shock it's sooo unreal to me. It's every scene from every movie involving New York and major cities. I PRAY nothing else goes wrong in other cities!!!

[purpleangel]

BeingCool, they showed it on the news people jumping up and down holding the palenstine flag,,,,and honking on car things....so i think it was pretty obvious that they were celebrating,,,,
I know they live in a hostile environment, but i still don´t think that´s an excuse....

[flutterbaby]

Excuse my ignorance, but I don't understand WHY.

[Venisenvy]

the fire in the pentagon is spreading....

[dancer04]

very scary. :(

[purpleangel]

why what ?

[flutterbaby]

Why they hafta attack...

It's scary when you don't know what's next, and new news keeps popping up.

[Stefani13]

Ya, I heard on the news...Palestinians were saying, "God is good!" and handing out candy in celebration. :rolleyes: :(

[purpleangel]

just plain cowards, killing innocent people to make a point, what point god only knows.....

[flutterbaby]

I wouldn't be celebrating if I lived in Palenstine, I'd be scared cuz I'd be expecting revenge.

[Bunsen]

The Palestinians (in general) hate USA but even if this was an act of one of their extremist groups, it's not all the Palestinians. Most of them are innocent.

[niceguy]

cowards indeed, i hope whoever is responsible is condemn for their crimes and fierece punishment to all of them

[Stefani13]

I have to go to class too at 10:00! :eek: I'm scared, man...

[niceguy]

urgh.. i was cooking something and almost burned down the kitchen .. i forgot i cooked something..

[purpleangel]

they are probaly not gonna have classes stefani,,at least my advice stay at home...:(

[djmoonlighter19]

I'm in OKlahoma for college..Oklahoma City is only an 45 min more so away from my campus. Oklahoma has seen tragedy before...but this is just too much!

[flutterbaby]

I wouldn't go...
Today's a bad day, and that's a huge understatement but I don't know how else to put it.

[MDZ61384]

this is so horrible and tragic. its unreal...

[flutterbaby]

Somebody on the news said that this is the second Pearl Harbour.

[djmoonlighter19]

OH please don't say that. I HATE the thought!

[Venisenvy]

this is the second pearl harbor in a way, we are under attack but this one is much worse it seems.

[Stronger4Brit2]

sad =(, oh well I have to go to Logan Airport, they better let me there

[Vocals count]

Logan Airport. Where is that? Why would you need to go to the airport?

[Stefani13]

World reacts:

THERE HAVE been the most terrible, shocking events taking place in the United States of America within the last couple of hours,” Blair told union leaders in Brighton, southern England. “We can only imagine the terror and carnage there and the many, many innocent people who have lost their lives.”
Blair, who had been due to deliver a key policy speech, cut short his visit and said he wanted to return immediately to London to monitor the unfolding events.
He sent his deepest condolences to Bush and the people of America.
“This mass terrorism is the new evil in our world today. It is perpetrated by fanatics who are utterly indifferent to the sanctity of life,” he said.

Russia’s Putin described the attack as a terrible tragedy, according to Kremlin spokesman Alexei Gromov.
France’s President Jacques Chirac, in a live televised address, condemned the attacks as
“monstrous” and expressed his solidarity with the American people.
“France has just learned of these monstrous attacks — there is no other word for it — that have hit America,” Chirac said from Rennes, in the western region of Brittany.
In Berlin, Foreign Ministry officials huddled in a crisis meeting, and Parliament’s vice speaker vice speaker Anke Fuchs told lawmakers a “terrible catastrophe” had happened.
Virtually all German TV channels switched to live coverage. “This is pure mass murder,” one commentator said.

Germany’s Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder convened an unprecedented meeting of his security council and air traffic authorities said all European flights to the United States had been suspended.
The council meets rarely and is the government’s main body in times of crisis. Besides Schroeder, it includes the foreign, defense and interior ministers and several others.

MIDEAST REACTS
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and his top aides followed the events at his seaside office in Gaza City, gathered around a TV set.
“We completely condemn this serious operation. ... We were completely shocked. It’s unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable.”
An anonymous caller told Abu Dhabi television earlier on Tuesday that a radical Palestinian group was responsible for the attacks, but the group later denied any involvement.
Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer told Israel’s Army Radio it was “simply a tragedy.”
“I sympathize with the American people,” he said. “It’s simply a terrible thing.”
In Brussels, Chris Patten, European Commissioner for External Affairs, said:
“We are all watching events with absolute horror. Our prayers and deepest sympathies go out to our friends in the United States.”

[Stefani13]

Thanks for the news/reactions... :(

[Bunsen]

I visit this other message board and one girl there says that her friend died in New York :(

[AguileraAddict]

:( That's terrible!

[Love2HearChristina]

Did you know that 50,000 people work in those World Trade Center towers? That is horrible!

[AguileraAddict]

Real sad. At least they had the time to evacuate before the buildings collaped. but still it doesn't count for the 10,000.

[janiece81]

This is all so unbelieveable. It's surreal. When I found out on my way to Physics discussion, I was in awe. When I got to the Reitz Union and watched CNN, I cried. My heart goes out to everyone affected by this. This is a senseless tragedy and I pray that God will help see us through this.

[SweetGal]

This whole thng is devastating my heart goes out to those who have lost their lives :(

[TheCorrsFreak]

OMG!! This is so terrible :( I was in school while it happened, my teacher's son called her and we went into the house and turned the TV on. I couldn't believe it :( I'm not even anywhere close to New York (i'm swiss), but i've been to NY a few years ago and i've always dreamed of living there someday.
I've been watching CNN for about 5 hours now and i'm still so shocked :(
My thoughts and prayers are with the people that were in the builiding, their loved ones and the people that had to see it all happen and just all the people who are as shocked as me right now. That's just so awful. :(

[ariel23]

You've all expressed my feelings of shock and sadness...

thanks for the other govt's reactions...

[CAguileraLover21]

I saw just woke up 20 minutes ago and saw this and I can't beileve what happened.

[EDT]

I was in Chemistry lab at school and they made us all leave because we're so close to DC. All the bridges and tunnels are closed and alot of cars were all over the place and this is in Blatimore. I can't even imagine how it is in DC or New York. This is horrible. My parents and other family memebers are in DC and thankfully their all right but my heart goes out to all the people who have lost loved ones.

[cyane]

Very sad :( Im still worried with some brazilian friends that i have in NYC i hope they are ok.

All my prayers and thoughts are with you guys today :( terrible tragedy.

[.*~Genie~Diva~Chica~*.]

I heard about this from my neighbour when we were walking home from school. We both ran to our houses to catch the news. My god, I've never seen anything like it. I truly hope that nothing more happens. I thankmy lucky stars that there is no important buildings near me that might be attacked. I know I'm not even in the States though.

[EDT]

Be happy about that. They closed the schools and stuff here because its so close to DC where the Pentagon got hit and it was very scary for me at least especially since my parent and grandmother and aunt all work in downtown DC.

[flutterbaby]

Does anybody know how old the World Trade Center was?

[**Aguilera*Fanatic**]

I Don't know how old the wtc was but this is just unimaginable to me...all of my friends have been freaking out and crying because i live in West Virginia and we just kept hearing rumors of planes being hijacked around us and i just keep telling my friends that it'll be ok and to keep praying...but i want someone to tell ME that its gonna be ok...i think it will but there is still that doubt in my mind...it just scares me so much...all i ask is for y'all to pray for everybody who may still be alive in the rubble of the towers and the pentagon...and pray for their families...peace...

[czr187]

I hope this isn't the just the first attack.I hope there isn't a second attack and no more people get hurt!

It was really sad you could see people jumping down off of the 80th floor!:(

[ariel23]

The WTC's were completed in the early 70's I believe.

[junio]

I am very sad, and kinda afraid. Here in Puerto Rico they evacuated all federal buildings and some government buldings. Roosvelt Roads (the biggest U.S. Navy base) here received missile attack threats, but nothing really happened, thanks the maker. I got off from college today.

I am sooooo sad, and worried. I have 2 friends in University of Manhattan. I talked to their mom earlier today and she told me they were all right. I'm still trying to call them but phone lines are occupied up there in NY. It's understandable, and at least I know they are all right. My friend Raisa was in the subway when the first airplane crashed and they stopped the subway and took everybody out and explained the passangers the situation. The mother of my 2 friends told me they are horrified, but they are back in campus in the residency and at least they are all right. But I sooo wanna talk to them and make sure they are all right by myself. I wanna confort them and make them feel good. I also have a few relatives in Manhattan and we haven't heard anything from them... Today is a horrible day for the planet.

[TheCorrsFreak]

1974, i think. I read that in a NY book.

[BBMakGenie69]

I found out in school and we pretty much stay tuned to CNN the whole day...what a terrible tragedy. :( Simply unbelievable, my thoughts and prayers go out to everyone. I hope y'all are all safe and okay! This is so shocking and extremely sad...that footage of those Palestinians celebratin' is just plain sickening. :mad: My prayers go out to all the victims and their families, this is so crazy. God Bless!

[trupnai]

i saw the second tower collapse on tv live...i was so shock...i don't know why these "terrists" as they were called, want to place bombs in places...what did we ever do to them??...as i could say..there just jealous...i don't know why..but what else could the reason be?? i kno it cant be an accident..how stupid is that if it was???

I was in english and Kendra (one of the aides) got a phone call and then she announced to the class about it. at that time, only 1 tower had collapsed and the Pentagon was hit. I thought the pentagon was more serious than the WTC, but then I saw the news, saw the 2nd plane crash and the collapse of both towers. We had a special homeroom today to discuss it and the teachers had a falcuty meeting today

to make matters worse the school my dad teaches in had a code red alert today because there was a suspected bomb threat. however, nothing happened, thankfully, and they figured it was just someone who wanted to make situations worse today.

::sigh::

I got a text message on my cell phone this morning, and then when I got to work, it was a state of chaos because our headquarters is in the World Financial Center across the street from the World Trade Center, so they completely evacuated our headquarters and subsequently sent us home at noon after we couldn't efficiently conduct business today...

I skipped school today to go to NJ before I even knew about any of this! But then when we were ready to go, we saw the news reports and all the bridges and everything were closed! No one could get in or out of the city! It was scary especially because I was watching it live. We all started to call family and friends but we couldn't get a hold of anyone because all the cell phones were cut off and all the phone lines were busy. I'm concerned about my cousin because she lives REALLY close to there. You can see the towers and that whole area from her balcany so I hope that she is alright! I also have alot of family and friends in that area and I hope everything is alright with them also. I have been trying to call my dad all day and I STILL can't get a hold of him:(
I hope that these S are punished for this in the worst way!! Also, when I say those people in Palestine, that made me SICK!!!!:mad:
I pray for everyone that was involved in this tragedy!!!

[xoeltjotox]

this is a devastating day. i pray for all those who were hurt. this is an incedent that this generation should prevent for the next. we should all lear from all of this.

Uffff, my friend just called me. I am so relieved now... She told me that she's all right but very scared. They are still under terrorist attack alert. She wants to be here in Puerto Rico with her family and friends. Her sister is also very scared. We spoke for about 20 minutes. Dude, I am so happy that she called me. I was afraid about her and feel so much better now.

[nicole858]

Another Building collapsed!!

[nicole858]

I'm not sure right now but I think that it was the one that was near the WTC towers. It had been burning for a long time and I think it finally collapsed! This is just horrible!!!!!!!!!!!:(:(:(:(:(

Also, my sister was watching the news and she saw one of the dead bodies laying on the ground. She said that she could see the body covered in ash:(:(

a friend just sent me this message.....this is a prophecy from someone along time ago and they said he is usaly right: "In the City of God there will be a great thunder, Two brothers torn apart by Chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb" , "The third big war will begin when the big city is burning" - Nostradamus 1654


hmmm...he predicted that for 1992 or 1994 but its kind of scary to think about it

[BBMakGenie69]

Nicole, I'm so glad that you're okay! Skippin' school? You dork :) very happy that you're safe tho. My prayers are with your family, did you get a hold of your dad yet?

[nicole858]

Awww, thanks Lynn!! You are the sweetest person!:):D I know, I know, the 4th day of school and i'm skippinghttp://talk.livedaily.citysearch.com/images/icons/icon11.gif But I think i'll be excused today don't you??;)

No, I didn't get a hold of my dad yet:( But i'll keep trying! Unfortunately I have to go now cuz we need the phone to keep calling a few places so i'll talk to you later! ~~Hugs~~

[junio]

Nostradamus is kind of scary... The guy predicted a lot of things that have already happened, and a lot that may happen. Some people believe in his prophecies, some don't. I for one believe in him.

Never knew of that prophecy. Thanks for posting Luis.

[BBMakGenie69]

Well thanks, and you're very welcome. :) It's only been the fourth day? LOL! It's all good, hehe. I'm sure your dad is fine and same goes for the rest of your family...keep me updated and take care. *hugs* Talk to ya later!

[Missylyn]

Hey all, I just got home from school. I've never heard our school so quiet before, we all watched it on TV first period then school officials decided we were getting to freaked out hearing all this stuff and putting scary thoughts in our heads. We were all freaked out about terrorists because our town just happens to sit in between two major nuclear sites. I think you can take it from there :(

[*rockstar54*]

This is so so so horrible :( It's so scary. I can't believe it happened. I hope that they catch whoever did this and kill them!!!!!! I'm usually against the death penalty, but this is too much :mad: I hope they die. I really dont' want to go to war. This is so horrible, so many innocent people died from those damn terrorists :( :mad: :( Why did they do that?? But I know that we can overcome this.
My uncles live in Manhattan, and we couldn't get ahold of them but we figured they were alright since they're never downtown so early. But then one of my uncles called and said that my other uncle was downtown!!!!!!!! He is okay, but he couldn't get home cuz the subways are down. My cousin is supposed to fly from SFO to New York on Friday, but I'm scared for her to go!!!
I was supposed to go to San Francisco today for two doctors appointments, but we didn't because my dad thought it would be better if we stayed out of the city. During fourth period today we heard airplanes flying outside, and we were SO freaked out cuz we thought that it had to be a hijacked plane crashing in SF since all of the planes were grounded!!!! It turned out to be military planes from the nearby air base, but it was really scary. Good Morning America was at my school since they couldn't return to NY today and three of my friends might be on!!!!

Mankind....that word should have new meaning for all of us today. We can't be consumed with our petty differences anymore.We will be united in our common interests. you will once again be fighting for our freedom.
Not from tyranny, oppression or persecution. But from anniliation. We're fighting for our right to live...to exist.the world declared in one voice "We will not go quietly into the night...we will not vanish without a fight! We're going to live on! We're going to survive! Today, we celebrate our independence day!
