United 175
Reports are emerging that the last of the 4 planes is now crashing, but it's very sketchy. The report came from the Chicago area and the flight was headed west, so who knows. Nothing further on this subject, though, so maybe it will turn out to be unfounded.
I just heard from a friend in NYC that the city is shut down, that he will most likely be walking home (to New Jersey) sometime this afternoon.
People are comparing it to Pearl Harbor, but that was a military target, total U.S. killed were 2400 (64 Japanese killed in the attack). Given the number of employees + visitors to the WTC from 25,000 to 50,000, add in the Pentagon, then without a miracle, we have maybe 10 times that number today. This is an unprecedented attack on innocent, unarmed people.
