First pictures from inside Trade Centre posted on internet

Pictures showing the evacuation of the World Trade Centre have been posted on the internet.

The first pictures from inside the building show firefighters battling their way up the stairs as workers appear to file downwards without panic.

Some office workers are shown to be on their mobile phones making calls to loved ones during their single file trek.

Hundreds of firefighters are feared dead after New York's twin towers were hit by two jet airliners on Tuesday.

The pictures were posted on the webcamnow.com website, with no explanation of who took the shots or how that person managed to get out.

The link, however, (the link to the pictures) is not responding at the moment.

I think they need to fire them all and replace with highly trained workers - Ones who are trained to look for suspicious behavior. or even armed servicemen, a regular sight in many foreign countries. What good are security checkpoints if they are manned by minimum wage workers who always seem to hate their job.

I have flown out of LaGuardia in NYC and Newark airport recently. I noticed they were too busy chatting to even watch the monitor while my bags were going through. And every time the metal detector went off because of someone's belt buckle, all attention went to that and bags just floated right on past without even a check.

In France last year, security was a totally different story, it was obviously taken very seriously...
