All the reports are coming in so fast and it's hard to tell yet what has happened, but my thoughts are for all these souls..........

It also appears a collapse of some sort has happened at the Pentagon......There are also reports of an aircraft (possibly a 747) down somewhwere in Pennsylvania....

ANNA my dear.....So great to hear from you........Be safe!!!

Anxious thoughts for Sinsull and Larry..........

Please.......I am so conflicted.........I am so angry that I want to hunt these bastards down myself and commit unspeakable acts on them............but the side of me that has taken seen that type of carnage also wants to know what precipitated this attack.........what horrors were faced by these people and their families that set them on this maniacal path.........but they must pay......so many confusing thoughts.........

Just had a woman on who said she watched people jumping out of the windows. That was just before the 2nd tower fell. She said they're being told to evacuate the area, but there's no where to go, and no way to get out.

Watching the reports on a little black-and-white TV in the office. Smoke all over Manhattan, apparently. Ash in the streets as if a volcano had erupted. Reports that a terrorist had called in (where?) to say there were 5 targets planned. New York Stock Exchange trading suspended.

Part of the Pentagon has just collapsed. West wing of the White House has been evacuated.

Please send prayers, good thoughts, whatever you've got, to everyone involved in these incidents as well as rescue and medical personnel working to save lives.... as well as this nation... as well as the world.

I am numb. I have watched this whole thing live. Today, I fear, marks the beginning of something I have prayed never to have to see again. Comments like "make a crater" which is understandable, will only lend fuel to a terrible fire. Listen people, take time...........pray with all your might. War is a terrible evil. But today the first shots have been fired. Make a crater, and you make a nest which will incubate the eggs of a very long conflict, a very long tragedy. We must respond, we must hunt down, in a very surgical way, those responsible. But we must also, if we are wise, determine what would cause a people to be so desperate as to take this step. What are the conditions that caused a people, whomever they are, to take a step which will surely lead to their destruction. If we only react with anger we are doomed to see the children, all of our children, lead down a very sad path. I have seen it before, even participated in it. Please God, guide us now.

I can feel the cries of the lost in the very depths of my soul. What a terrible ache

I am very afraid for what is coming.

Holy shit. Midnight in Oz and I'm just about to go to bed after watching a football show on the TV. An urgent cross to the US and I behold a disaster. Both places I've been to. A couple of years ago I was on the observation floor of the World Trade Centre - bloody hell I'm shivering.

The poor souls in the planes and buildings, my heart goes out to you all.

I'm here and I'm scared. The South Tower has fallen!! All those people!! I'm uptown and so far out of the disaster. Where concerned about other planes (there were three) and possible bombs!

We're totally cut off. All we have is this and maybe e-mail. No phones, no way out.

All those people!!

Love, Annamill

My radio says one of the Trade Center planes was an American Airlines 757 that was hijacked from Boston.

Our base has just gone into the highest state of alert. The base is effectively closed. We are removing all visitors and contractors. Our long distance telephones have been cut off.

Scary stuff. My girlfriend called to check on me. She works for a media firm in Portland and is up to date on what is happening.

They are talking now to a woman who is one block to the east of the Trade Center. Her apartment is full of smoke and she cannot get out because of debris in the street.

I double the request for immediate news and thank the posters.

We have almost non-existant TV where we live (and work) -- without cable, and since I haven't watched TV since 1983, we have no TV cable. All the news websites I've tried are totally jammed and where I have been able to access, the site lags radio news. So my news right now is Mudcat and the radio.
