oh my god oh my god

11-SEP-01 9:10 Twang
Oh my god. I heard and saw the plane too, as I walked up Park. I looked up and thought my god that's flying low.

Then I arrived at the office 10 minutes later and saw it on TV. Then I looked out the window and realized I can see the towers from here, and the damage.

This is just too horrible. I hope everyone's loved ones are safe.

11-SEP-01 9:10 Stacy Horn
Is this a terrorist attack?? The first plane looked like a commercial jet.

11-SEP-01 9:10 myrna
Yeah, the second plane clearly hit deliberately. It happened live on CNN.

11-SEP-01 9:11 Pez
So, the planes are stuck inside the buildings right now. right?

11-SEP-01 9:11 myrna
I feel ill. Jesus christ. It looks like about ten floors in each building are gone.

11-SEP-01 9:12 Chalres
I just saw it on CNN. It is absolutely unbelievable.

11-SEP-01 9:13 myrna
Oh god, they just said a jet had been hijacked.

11-SEP-01 9:13 Ellen
Every emergency vehicle in the building is heading down there by the sound of it.

11-SEP-01 9:14 Ellen
SOrry, in the city. Shaken, here.

11-SEP-01 9:15 myrna
(That was so freaky: as they switched to commercial you could hear the CNN anchors flipping out, since they left the sound on. "Oh my god." "Would you move that over?" And then a very annoyed, "Charlie!")

11-SEP-01 9:16 howl
We've been attacked.

11-SEP-01 9:18 Cathy
I have a friend who thinks her children are there. Grown children, adults who work there. She's trying to reach them now. I'm in shock. Shaking.

11-SEP-01 9:18 Margaret
oh god, this was terrorism? oh no. I can't believe you actually saw this, Stacy, Twang.

11-SEP-01 9:18 Fish
Holy shit--my mother works at the WTC.

11-SEP-01 9:20 Secret Agent Mop
I am stunned.

11-SEP-01 9:21 placebo
oh god Fish

11-SEP-01 9:21 elkay loathed that Other Boss
going to watch tv now. can't get anything over the web, too much traffic i guess.

11-SEP-01 9:21 elkay loathed that Other Boss
i feel sick.

11-SEP-01 9:22 Chalres
Yeah, most of the news sites are unreachable now.

11-SEP-01 9:22 starla
cbs is reporting that the fbi is investigation the possibility of two hijackings/suicide bombings.

11-SEP-01 9:22 Cathy
Why aren't I getting NBC or Fox right now? Does anyone else have this problem?

11-SEP-01 9:23 starla
all local airports are closed. newark, kennedy, laguardia, teterboro. not sure about white plains or islip.

11-SEP-01 9:23 howl
Getting them here.

11-SEP-01 9:23 Luna grumble
Nope, getting all news/network channels.

11-SEP-01 9:23 Chalres
The transmitting towers on the WTC are probably fucked, no?

11-SEP-01 9:23 Lala
Holy God, Fish. Praying for you and your Mom.

11-SEP-01 9:23 Ellen
The tv stations are going in and out. I remember from the last time the WTC was bombed, they all had their towers there, and all the signals were knocked out.

11-SEP-01 9:24 Luna grumble
Lincoln and Holland Tunnels also closed. UN evacuated.

11-SEP-01 9:24 placebo

I turned on my TV and all there was was snow.

Getting the news now.

11-SEP-01 9:25 howl
NYC FM is off the air.

11-SEP-01 9:25 Luna grumble
Oy, Fish--sending good thoughts for safety.

11-SEP-01 9:25 He was no jester upon sacred things
The NBC employees at Rock Center have all been sent home, building closed.

11-SEP-01 9:26 Margaret
oh, Fish, I hope your mother is all right.

11-SEP-01 9:27 Fish
I'm really really freaking out.

11-SEP-01 9:27 Ellen
I hope it's okay, Fish.

11-SEP-01 9:28 Lizbet
They're saying on ABC that the second plane was a commercial plane, and there's also unconfirmed reports of a plane recently hijacked...

11-SEP-01 9:28 He was no jester upon sacred things
I'm sure she's OK, Fish.

11-SEP-01 9:29 Brian. Minnesotan. The.
holy fuck. I just woke up this morning and heard the hubub. If this WAS Osama Bin Laden, I want the fuck taken out. Oh man. Praying for everyone involved, especially Fish's mom.

11-SEP-01 9:29 Ellen
Just tried to make two long distance calls to Philly and Boston and couldn't.

11-SEP-01 9:30 howl
NYC said two planes might have been hijacked.

11-SEP-01 9:30 howl
Bush is talking.

11-SEP-01 9:30 Kevin
Phone lines are probably jammed with calls. The cell phone service in that area is certainly out.

11-SEP-01 9:30 Lala
Heard the second plane might have been an AA flight from Boston to LA that was hijacked.
