I'm shaking...i'm not that far from NYC, upstaters have always seen the City as invincible...i can't believe it, and i've been hearing and seeing it all day. i can't even think of all the people i know who might have been in lower Manhattan. they're saying at least 200 firefighters and policemen have been killed, those who were responding to the scene of the first fire/ attack. 266 dead on the 4 planes. two aircraft carriers have been deployed to New York Sound.

the fourth plane that crashed in PA didn't reach its target. it managed to crash in an open field, not a population center. if there is anything good to say about this, it is that, and the fact that the WTC buildings stood for an hour, allowing evacuation of at least some people.
