Planes in Trade Center Explosion Were Hijacked-TV Updated 9:45 AM ET September 11, 2001 NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York television station reported that law enforcement officials said the two planes that crashed Tuesday morning into the World Trade Center were hijacked flights originating in Boston. Television station NY1 did not indicate if it knew which airlines the planes belonged to and the destinations of the flights were not immediately clear. The two planes crashed into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York on Tuesday morning, causing huge explosions and killing at least six people, television said. CNBC television said there were at least a thousand injured. Both towers of the lower Manhattan landmark, where thousands of people work in offices and which was the scene of a bombing in 1993, were burning after the crashes. The FBI told the Associated Press that it was ``foul play'' and not an accident, ABC television reported. A person who answered the phone on the trading floor at interdealer-broker Cantor Fitzgerald, located near the top of the World Trade Center, said ``We're f---ing dying,'' when asked what was happening, and hung up. There was screaming and yelling in the background. A follow up call was not answered. Nic Fulton, an eyewitness, said that just before the first explosion, he saw a plane fly low over his apartment in the NoHo district of lower Manhattan. ``A plane flew incredibly low over my apartment. We've never seen a plane this low before,'' Fulton said. He said it was a large, white plane with two jet engines, but he was not able to identify it further. ``There's so much smoke coming out of the thing,'' he said. dailynews.att.net
