My dad called me today and woke me up to let me know about this. It seemed like a bad dream, like I'd wake up and it'd be over, but then I took a shower. This is unbelievable guys.

I was going to post other links to other news stories on this, but all their servers are overloaded right now.

9/11/2001 9:36:50 AM

What the fuck. It was TWO PLANES. TWO PLANES!!! What is going on?

9/11/2001 9:39:47 AM

The reporter on NBC is in the Pentagon, and said the building just shook really hard and now they're evacuating it or something. Anybody know anything?

9/11/2001 9:42:09 AM

(sorry to the folks in the lounge who had already posted about this topic)

One of the planes was an American Airlines jet that was hijacked from Boston.

9/11/2001 9:43:02 AM

Two planes in the span of 20 minutes and all of Manhatten is on lockdown. GWB is going back to Washington, DC immeadiately.

And here, on NCSU campus, everyone's making statements like "Some Middle Eastern nation is going to cease to exist"...WTF, people? Everyone's quick to blame the Arabs on this one, but we need to be cautious in placing blame.

Reports are suggestign that an ircraft has crashed in Washington, DC and the Secret Service has got a bunch of Stingers ready to protect the President in case of an emergency.

9/11/2001 9:45:22 AM

Fuck! Something just blew up beside the Pentagon! We're under attack... This is some scary shit. I'm freaked out guys.

9/11/2001 9:46:19 AM

Anyone know if the plane that crashed in DC was hijacked?

9/11/2001 9:47:23 AM

Explosion at the Pentagon?!!!! OMG!

9/11/2001 9:47:29 AM

They just reported on MSNBC that a plane just crashed into the Pentagon.

9/11/2001 9:48:49 AM

The Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine has claimed responsibility, apparently.

9/11/2001 9:50:14 AM

^^ I heard that too.

And in an eerie coincidence, there are an unusual number of sirens running through campus this morning.

9/11/2001 9:51:24 AM

Shit. They've evacuated the White House & Capitol & Treasury & the Pentagon!! The FAA has just grounded all planes above the US! Holy shit.

This is not a day for me to leave the house. Fuck that.

9/11/2001 9:52:22 AM

They have grounded all flights.

9/11/2001 9:59:19 AM

The head of the DFLP has said that they did NOT do it, and that the reports that they did was untrue.

9/11/2001 9:59:58 AM

The left tower just collapsed.

9/11/2001 10:01:17 AM

OMFG.

9/11/2001 10:04:01 AM

A reported just suggested that Usama Bin Laden (sp?) is the only person in recent history who has shown he could pull something off like this. Obviously this is wild speculation, but it makes me wonder...

9/11/2001 10:08:45 AM

I just thought of this poem I read in high school:

Quote :

"The diameter of the bomb was thirty centimeters and the diameter of its effective range about seven meters, with four dead and eleven wounded. And around these, in a larger circle of pain and time, two hospitals are scattered and one graveyard. But the young woman who was buried in the city she came from, at a distance of more than a hundred kilometers, enlarges the circle considerably, and the solitary man mourning her death at the distant shores of a country far across the sea includes the entire world in the circle. And I won’t even mention the crying of orphans that reaches up to the throne of God and beyond, making a circle with no end and no God."

I just can't believe how any person could do something like this. Think of how many people must be dead or dying right now. And this could just be the beginning.

9/11/2001 10:13:51 AM

Yassir Arafat has expressed great shock that this has happened, and assured a reporter that the PLO had no involvement whatsoever.

9/11/2001 10:20:10 AM

And security officials are apparently saying they have no idea how the first building is still standing, at that it could collapse at any moment.

9/11/2001 10:24:57 AM

A car bomb has exploded outside the State Department.

9/11/2001 10:25:46 AM

And another plane outside of DC was just hijacked. About 25 miles south, apparently.

9/11/2001 10:26:40 AM

Both towers have now collapsed.

9/11/2001 10:30:09 AM

This is just heresay, but I've heard that another planed from Florida has been hijacked, possibly heading for NY.

9/11/2001 10:37:48 AM

More heresay, possibly a bomb at a DC area shopping mall (Union Station?).

9/11/2001 10:39:14 AM

A plane has just crashed 80 miles SE of Pittsburgh. And they are now saying there was no car bomb at the State Dept.

9/11/2001 10:42:48 AM

The thing that scares me the most is if this is just the beginning of something. I can't even bear to think about what else could happen. I feel sick.

9/11/2001 10:54:03 AM

I almost hope it was a random terrorist group, because if not, some country's going to be turned into a sheet of glass.

9/11/2001 10:55:41 AM

Not to make light of the situation, but a friend's away message says

Quote :

"It's Fight Club all over again."

9/11/2001 11:00:55 AM

My aunt works at the Pentagon.

9/11/2001 11:04:40 AM

Bin Laden said three weeks ago said he would carry out the greatest attack against the US in history.

9/11/2001 11:08:23 AM

And on top of this, two US planes were shot down in Iraq today.

9/11/2001 11:11:49 AM

The FTSE (British stock exchange) building in London has been evacuated, I don't know if it was just for safety's sake or founded.

9/11/2001 11:14:29 AM

From a New Yorker on a message board:

Quote :

"wake up, shower, coffee, train to work, check a few emails, bitch about the fax machine being busted again, BOOM. run, panic, run, panic, scorched body parts in the street, feet, hands, torsos inside out try to collect myself, find a payphone, call to let people know i;m alive, whoosh BOOM number two, REALLY run, shake the entire way home havent stoppd shaking yet"

9/11/2001 11:16:06 AM

Uncomfirmed reports that a plane just crashed into Camp David.

9/11/2001 11:19:27 AM

A helping hand from Canada, who has agreed to stop all outgoing flights and take any landings from the US.

9/11/2001 11:21:46 AM

ANY MILITARY PERSONNEL AT NCSU SHOULD CHANGE OUT OF THEIR UNIFORMS NOW.

9/11/2001 11:31:15 AM

Coincidentally, the date is 9-11.

9/11/2001 11:32:47 AM

A suitemate who is in ROTC just came in, sort of laughing about it. I don't see how somebody can find this funny. This is awful.

9/11/2001 11:33:41 AM

I'm still in shock, it's like some sort of movie. I'm going to remember this day like my grandparents remember Pearl Harbor--it's that horrible.

9/11/2001 11:42:24 AM

I'm going to quit consuming bandwidth and just lie down for awhile. I don't feel well

9/11/2001 11:42:34 AM

I'm going to stop wearing military paraphernilia for a while and grow out some stubble so that I don't look so military for a while. I'm pretty sure that terrorists won't bother with a cadet, but it's a standard precaution for personnel worldwide.

9/11/2001 11:43:53 AM

One of my friends works in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee--

Also- someone said they were evaculating the Nations Bank building in Charlotte because of that FL Plane they can not account for

9/11/2001 11:54:44 AM

Its my understanding from NBC/ABC/CBS that all "major landmarks", including all skyscrapers, have been asked to evacuate nationwide.

I hope everyone offers prayer for the thousands and thousands who have lost their loved ones.

Manhattan looks weird w/o either of the trade towers

9/11/2001 12:20:54 PM

Everybody was crowding around the TVs in the Atrium, and when I walked around campus that's all I heard people talking about.

9/11/2001 1:17:53 PM

In video that keeps getting shown of the celebration in Palestine, there are men in a van driving down the street, honking and grinning. They are driving a Ford.

9/11/2001 3:46:05 PM

when the driver catches eye of the camera he flashes a peace sign too. i dont get it.

For them to even to do that is just plain sad

9/11/2001 5:06:16 PM

sick and sadistic
