Mark, who works in the area, called me from Chelsea -- they felt the impact in his building, and could see pieces of flaming debris falling outside. He and a cow worker walked to Rector St. and were able to get a subway before they closed them.

A reporter on the scene on 1010 WINS basically said she heard an explosion and saw it topple over, but there's so much smoke and debris she can't even tell which direction it fell.

11-SEP-01 10:04 Lulu
I don't know if it is the whole Tower. You can't see anything in the picture.

11-SEP-01 10:04 Leslie K.
They're saying on the radio that it's the whole thing. . . .

PLEASE IF ANYBODY SEES MY SISTER, LIZL, ONLINE, HAVE HER LEAVE ME A MESSAGE ON ECHO OR AT WORK. I can't reach her by phone. She doesn't live or work near the WTC, but I'm not sure where her husband works and I just want to make sure they're okay.

Phone number at work: XXX-XXX-XXXX.

THANK YOU.

It looks like the entire southern tip of Manhattan is engulfed in thick smoke. That has to be dangerous to breathe.

It seems it is the entire tower has collapsed. The whole building--if the smoke ever clears, it won't be there.

American Airlines out of Boston to LA, they believe is one of the planes that was hijacked and taken into the WTC. If it were full it would have 158 passenger.

The South Tower is completely gone, people saw people falling through the sky. Good, God.
