I can't post in the other thread 
so here goes...
Just some updates...
There was no crash at Camp David.
There was no car bomb at the State Dep't in D.C.
There are still 50 civilian planes in the air but they are all expected to land within the next 30 to 50 minutes.
All Disney parks are closed.
All baseball games (Major Leauge) are cancelled until further notice.
US Navy Jet Fighters are circling over NYC & the Hudson River.
Just now they're saying Bush is on the move from Barksdale AFB, destination unknown.
Facts about WTC: 50,000 people work in the two towers of the WTC. 110 floors each. 43,000 windows. 1,350 feet tall.
A third building is on fire in NYC, and they are clearing people from the area because of fear it might collapse/explode/do something.
Just some flight numbers for those who want them:
American Airlines flight 11 from Boston (Logan Int'l) to LAX, 92 people on board. Assumed to be first plane into WTC
American Airlines flight 77 from Dulles (Int'l, near D.C.) to LAX, 64 people on board. Second plane into WTC.
United Airlines flight 175 (Boeing 767) from Boston (Logan Int'l) to LAX, 65 people on board. Assumed that this is the one that crashed into the Pentagon, although not confirmed.
United Airlines flight 93 (Boeing 757) from Newark (NJ) Int'l to San Francisco, crashed 80 miles SE of Pittsburgh, 45 people on board. Not confirmed that this is even related, however there are also reports that it was shot down (unconfirmed).
