I was on the phone with my boss at NPR in DC, he told me about the pentagon.

11-SEP-01 9:47 Rat
Fire in the Washington Mall as well. The Pentagon was also hit by a plane.

11-SEP-01 9:47 Ellen
What the fuck is the CIA doing that three planes can crash into things and we have no clue??

11-SEP-01 9:47 Margaret
holy shit, this is totally unbelievable now.

11-SEP-01 9:48 placebo
the one plane was from Boston; it was hijacked.

11-SEP-01 9:48 Stacy Horn
Doesn't the Pentagon have super duper air defense??

11-SEP-01 9:48 Chalres
Doesn't all of Washington??

11-SEP-01 9:48 Stacy Horn
What next??

11-SEP-01 9:48 howl
If we see antoher plane coming this way, what could we do? We don't have anti-aircraft, can't shoot anythingdown over the city anyway.

11-SEP-01 9:48 Kevin
People jumping from the WTC to escape smoke and flames. This is horrible.

11-SEP-01 9:48 Ellen
They will after this. A big advertisment for air missile defense.

11-SEP-01 9:48 Justine
The sight of Bush, the sound of his stupid voice, on TV is so unbelievably annoying, on such a miserable day.

Fuck it. IT's primary day. I'm gonna go vote. Somehow I don't think a plane's going to smash into a polling place in Flatbush, Brooklyn, or wherever it is I'm supposed to go.

11-SEP-01 9:49 crepuscule with bennie
How? The windows don't open.

11-SEP-01 9:49 howl
(There's the conspiracy theory, Ellen.)

11-SEP-01 9:49 Ellen
(Seriously, I know I said this when Bush was elected, that something would be manufactured so we'd go to war.)

11-SEP-01 9:49 Brian. Minnesotan. The.
Supposedly surviors from the crash are jumping out of the holes in the buildings

11-SEP-01 9:50 Joan
pedestrians are swarming the Brooklyn Bridge.

11-SEP-01 9:50 Brian. Minnesotan. The.
I can't think this was manufactured. That's just a horrible thought

11-SEP-01 9:50 Stacy Horn
There are NO planes flying over Manhattan now. All airports and airways shut down.

11-SEP-01 9:50 Stacy Horn
I just heaard all the airports in the country have been shut down.

11-SEP-01 9:50 Kevin
Just relaying eye witness reports. There are holes the the building now.

All planes in the air are ordered to land. They only want military planes in the air.

11-SEP-01 9:50 Brian. Minnesotan. The.
That airport thing has been expanded to the entire country now

11-SEP-01 9:52 placebo
oh god oh god. People jumping????? How horrible.

11-SEP-01 9:52 fancy couch seeks storage solution
i don't know what to do.

11-SEP-01 9:52 howl
There's nothing for us to do.

11-SEP-01 9:53 placebo
those of us who believe in or take comfort from praying can do that.

11-SEP-01 9:53 Kevin
They only want military aircraft in the skys. I suspect they will shoot down anything that won't land.

The Secret Service received threats of an attack against the White House.

11-SEP-01 9:53 Amy R.
Yup. We're having a meeting at work in a few minutes, but I'm assuming that emergency services are so overloaded that there are no formal plans as to what to do.

11-SEP-01 9:53 Ellen
No dial tone now.

11-SEP-01 9:53 Lala
Yes, DC has super-duper air defense, but as I said, the Pentagon (and the White House/Mall/Capitol for that matter) are more or less *on* the flight path to National - which goes straight down the middle of the Potomac.

11-SEP-01 9:54 placebo
I haven't had a dial tone since my mother called to let me know that this was happening. Only getting one tv channel, badly.

Bush would call to nuke the West Bank and almost all the Arab states and do it without NATO's ok

11-SEP-01 9:55 Kevin
Yes, when I fly to DC I pass very close to the Pentagon. It would be hard to determine an attack from a regular landing.

The top pf the tower just collaped

11-SEP-01 10:00 placebo

11-SEP-01 10:00 Secret Agent Mop
There was a "credible threat" made against the White House, hence the evacuation

11-SEP-01 10:00 placebo

11-SEP-01 10:00 Joan

11-SEP-01 10:00 Kevin

A third explosion in the WTC area!

11-SEP-01 10:00 placebo
