Frost-ing cool!

A plane crashed into it.

I'm willing to bet it was a terrorist attack of some sort. Or at least we can hope, and pretend while playing CS and eagerly awaiting the "plane crash into world trade center" map.

Either that, or Gerard reeally Frosted up.



A friend who works on Water St. is going to check it out and let me know if he hears any news.

Did you see that explosion? Cripes.

uhhh.. what are we talking about?

Crap! A second plane just hit the other tower! This is terrorists.

Amy just called me and said another plane hit the other tower. This is no accident.



Christ.

heh.. cnn.com isn't responding..

You gotta appreciate the creativity.



How are the Baldwins doing?

I think CNN went down when everyone in the world decided to go there because they know their news.

Now, now. Maybe it isn't terrorism, and the two towers are just made of powerful magnets.

ah HA! I got to CNN's homepage..



link

For once, I fail to find any humor in this.



This is big. Really Frost-ing big.

For the next reality show, who wants to work in the twin towers..

No Shakespeare.. Wow, I'm shocked.

I feel sick.

Radio said that the planes were possibly hijacked.

I just heard that the planes may have been hijacked and, of course, filled with people.

They think they were hijacked 737's full of passegers. I just saw a replay and it was a big two engine commercial passeger jet. The second one.

a announcer on the radio said "must have been a suicide plane.. "DUH!"

Are 737s capable of trans-Atlantic flight?



If not, then they would have to have been hijacked somewhere here in North America.

Number 2 was an American Airlines hijacked 737.

I feel sick..

All of you with a strong religious bent better get your prayers going. It's been reported that the first tower is leaning.

See? This is why it's GOOD to come in late to work.

So.. I wonder if this means we're going to invade Afagastan?

Just turned on my TV; this is terrifying.



One of the correspondants from the BBC was in the building; he got out OK. You say there were people in the planes?

Planes crashed at 8:44 and 9:03. The second plane is reportedly a 737 American Airlines plane.

I, also, have no jokes.



I'm in shock.

Frost Frost Frost!



Frost!

I actually feel ill. Prayers, please, people.



This is Bin Laden?

What is Bin Laden?



I'm sitting here at my desk crying my eyes out.

Why today, I wonder?



What's so special about today? Why not yesterday, or tomorrow?

IT's not a 737, it's an airbus..

6 at least dead, 1000 injured; twin engine passenger plane and smaller passenger plane. FBI suggests at least one was hijacked.

speculation that it's bin laden. but we bombs a few things when there was a truck bombing in the parking garage of the trade center..

They've rescued a bunch of people.. I'm sick thinking of the people that could have been on tha tplane...

and there's gonna be a hell of a lot more than six dead.

Oh, that Bin Laden.



Duh.



Are there any gabbers in NYC?

They're worried the towers are going to fall down.

That's why they're evacuating the city.

Don't we have some sort of air defense net for this kind of thing? I hope the people controlling DUBYA make somebody pay dearly for this.

Apparently they were built to take the stress of being hit by a 747. Not two.

Wow.



Frightening.



Why won't my DSL Frost-ing work so I can read about it?

It was one each, though..

I would like to go on the record and say that I was not responsible. I was driving to work, I swear.

Bush is on now. He's not got anything to say; looks like he's in shock.

All right, MSNBC is hosed. Going to CNN.

New news; both planes were hijacked in BOSTON.

American Airline Plane Hi Jacked from Boston to L.A. Hummmmmmm, Anyone see john.

the only news story that didn't keep failing



link

Bush never has anything to say. Come on, Frost-ing idiot. Like you have a shred of compassion in you, you rich oil bitch.

4 days ago the US issued a general alert saying their citizens around the world were in a heightened state of danger.

Sorry. Just typing as the BBC broadcasts.

CRAP!!! it's a 767

From BBC:



Briton James Winter, 30, living in an apartment close to the centre, said he was woken a huge bang at around 0800 local time.



"I was in bed and there was a huge explosion. The whole building rattled and shook," he said.



"I ran to the window and there was smoke billowing from the south side of one of the towers. Everyone in my building was panicking and running around."



Okay, but why do you have to have a Briton's point of view???

Quick, it's an 8.0 earthquake! Someone find me a Briton so I can report on it!

A 767 can carry over 200 people

Yeah, real good Colin Powell. Real Frost-ing good.



What are we paying you for?

Because Britons would phone the BBC.



The correspondant who was in the building says that the force of the explosion was so great that even though it took place at the top of the building, the floor in the lobby was shaking.

God, I hope they weren't full. They don't seem to be saying.

Bush says it "May be a terrorist attack."



Idiot.

I'm thinking about the millions of people who are now freaking out on that teeny little island.



I have to say I am so glad I don't live on 16th Street any more.

The second plane blew up a minute or two ago. the fusalage was in the building.

All NY airports have been closed down now.

The world is going to tremble when they see what the United States can do when they are really pissed off.

More from BBC:



New York police have been quoted as saying that both planes were hijacked from Boston.



Thanks for that link.

A third plane has been hijacked. Frost-ing hell.

All airports are being shut down.

Jesus Christ, I just flew to Boston 2 days ago....

US military is in the air enforcing the no fly zone near the tower, according to LaGuardia air control.

All right, I'm a pacifist, but I'm ready to carpet-bomb someone now.

Where is the 3rd hijacked?

wHY ARE YOU getting all the interesting stuff Pobbs? ABC is giving the same crap all over and over again.

Most of the Eastern Seaboard is built up, isn't it? How can they get the third plane to crash land?

New info I'm listening to now. Report in that there has been an explosion at the pentagon. No news as to what it was yet.

Hold me, Pobble dear.



I am frightened; LA is next.

I hear that manhattan has been sealed off.

They're now saying at least one of the planes was hijacked out of Logan Airport.



Mark my words: This will affect everyone somehow. Everyone will know someone who knows someone who was killed. This will affect the economy. This will affect everyone.



This is big. really big.

A Palestinian group has claimed responsibility. Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine Abroad. It seems they've got some details wrong; it's unlikely it's really them.

What are you listening to, Gavia?

We knew things were going to change at some point.. I Just wish it weren't now.

Well thanks to the wonders of Counter Strike, the men of GAB could take out these Frosters lickety mother-Frosting split with just our cell phones and shoelaces.

Lots of smoke at the pentagon. Possible bomb attack.

They are evacuating the West Wing.

Shakespeare. Pictures of the Pentagon on fire. Or something. DOwntown Washington; they're not sure where it is yet on the BBC, but they've got pictures.

Now they're looking at a fire in Washington..

Well thanks to the wonders of Counter Strike, the men of GAB could take out these Frosters lickety mother-Frosting split with just our cell phones and shoelaces.





Don't forget me, man. I'm about to pick up a gun myself.

I find it ironic that the only website I can log on to for information about this right now is GAB.



Because EVERY OTHER WEBSITE IS TOO OVERLOADED TO RESPOND.

that's right Tavis. we can send me.

Definite reports; area behind the Pentagon. I think they missed the building itself. That'll be the third plane, then.



The White house has been evacuated.

It's confirmed, fire at the pentagon.

I find it ironic that John is logging on to Gab. :)

My buddy just called me. I had a guy from work put his TV on, he hasn't come in yet. I can't get to any of the news sites, I bet none of you can either. I guess there is a pentagon building on fire.



I'm with Vicar. Whatever terrorist organization that is just pulled out the stops completely and the President has absolutely no choice but to go after these folks with everything we have. If they are Iranian, and they likely are...

Pentagon evacuated too. It's like Tom Clancy.

I'm trying to call my friend in NYC. The phone isn't connecting. I suspect the lines are overloaded.

The executive office building behind the white house is on fire and another plane has hit the pentegon.

The explosion seems to have occured at the heleport area.

Don't jump to conclusions. Remember McVeigh wasn't Iranian.

No; it was a definite hit on the Pentagon.

I'm so worried about all the babies.. Mine.. John's..



I just pray like crazy they were empty planes.

The Mall (in DC) is also on fire.

Hitting the Whitehouse with an Airplane is not overly easy. they do have anti-aircraft missiles on the roof. and they will shoot down a plane over Wahsingotn DC.

McVeigh was one guy. This is three terrorist strikes. This is an organization. Could be from anywhere, but the last time they hit the trade center...

Four strikes. Hello colonialism.

US Treasury has been evacuated too.

Pobble, where are you getting that about the mall? Hasn't been reported here yet.

They said GW was headed back to Washington, he better not be.

Four? WHere's the fourth?

If they shoot down a plane over the white house, teh debris has to land somewhere.

We really don't need more bombs going off.. but I"m so afraid that's exactly what will happen.

We don't need nukes.

They keep showing the footage of that plane hitting the World Trade Centre. I wish they'd stop it.

I'm counting one for each building, the pentagon, and the mall.

I'm going home to watch this on TV.

God; please, no bombs.



I feel sick.

FAA says all planes in the States are being held on the ground.

I've been watching the Today show. Still no reports of fire on the Mall.

It's almost certainly not the Palestinians who were claiming responsibility; they're a small group, and they don't have the organisational infrastructure; also, they were wrong on some details about what happened.

BBC just said the report about the Mall was unconfirmed, and they can't see anything on camera.

I called my friend's wife. She was freaking out because she hadn't heard from him at all. She was so relieved when I told her that I was able to talk to him.



I am scared as Shakespeare right now, people.

I wonder how many convenience stores will be met with mob violence in the coming days.

Confirmed report of another explosion somewhere near the Pentagon.

All flights in progress being made to land at nearest airport.

Flight 11 to LA.

I want to apologoze for this, y'all.



I accidentally caused it while testing my latest vote-bot.

"Attention all planes, please land at the nearest airport or be in dangher of being shot down" - FAA

Thank you Squeamish.

Know what's freaky? I was playing Majestic right before I turned on the TV. I was at th epart where I crashed a satellite accidently. Right before this all broke out.

How many people were in those planes? Do any of you pilots know how many people one of them can hold?



Ah. The third crash landed NEAR the Pentagon, not on it. I wonder whether it was shot down.



My love and prayers to all of you lot in the States; you must be even more scared and frightened than I am.

I am completely freaked.

I knew I should have moved to England.

Oh my god.. More smake in New York, it's huge

Another explosion. Another building in NY. Not sure which...

The World Trade Center has just collapsed.

Sears tower has been shut down.

One of the towers collapsed

A building has collapsed completely in Manhattan.

Today show just showed a big chunk of one of the towers peeling off and falling to the ground from about half way up. Horrible.

I'm so sorry for all those people.

Now I AM going to puke

I work in the tallest building in this town. I'm not as concerned about this being a target as I am about the conditions these people face and the sheer numbers of dead and injured involved.

I am uncomfortable dealing with all these emotions. Fright, anger, shock, and a small growing ember of racial prejudice.

All those rescue workers.. all the people on the roof waiting to be rescued..

They're showing it in slow motion now. Sick.

They're comparing this scale of attack to Pearl Harbor

UN building evacuated. It does seem that there *was* a third explosion in NY. There's so much dust, you can't see what has happened; about 400 metres of dust around the building. That's several blocks. God, I hope they'd managed to clear all the surrounding buildings.

The pictures show only one tower visible. Everything else is engulfed in smoke and debris. I can't tell if the second tower is still standing or not. The harbor view show smoke enveloping the whole neighborhood and into the river.

They've been evacuating since the first plane hit, I"m sure a lot of peole got out of the way by now.

A 767 holds about 260 people.



I think we can be reasonably certain that those planes were not empty. Why would they be?

The BBC pictures from another direction shows the other tower still standing. They're still not sure about the third explosion.

I assume with an apirplane crashing into the building.. a few of the staircases have been taken out.

THe crash at the Pentagon was a small plane.

They're grounding all flights in-air.

Feeble, tell your co-worker that the people in the country who did this are no more responsible for this act than you are for our continued bombing in the middle east. People, do not close off your minds.

The people who did this need killing.

it collapsed it collapsed i can' tbelieve it!! I just watched it happen and I can't believe it's happening.



I don't know where my friend John is - he worked on Water Street but I THink they evacuated him but to where?



seven unconfirmed hijacked airplanes.

Too quic, they need slow torture.





Now there's an explosion at the Capitol.

They just showed the collapse of the top half of the second tower. The whole thing just dropped straight down.

Tony Blair has this to say (I transcribe; doubt it's going to be any good.)



He looks like hell.



Here we go:



(Explains about explosions...his voice is all wobbly.)



He's not saying anything we don't know; sends "deepest condolances to Bush and the US people on behalf of Britain. Mass Terrorism is the new evil in our world; perpetrated by fanatics indifferent to human life. Democracies must come together to fight it and to eradicate this evil from the world."



He's apologising now for not giving the Trades Unions speech he was meant to. He's close to tears.

There are fighter jets patrolling the airspace above the capital. Imagine that!



This didn't have to happen. The government has ignored the fact that, as security experts have said over and over again, it was only a matter of time.



I hope we go after any and all significant terrorist organizations, wherever they may be, with the full force and fury of the American military.

The said people were jumping out of the tower before it collapsed.



Now they're saying there's an explosion at capital hill.

The Palestinians have now said they didn't do it; they don't believe in killing innocent civilians. Looks like a gung-ho member of their group thought it'd be a good idea to pretend they did it.

Those towers employed fifty thousand people.

I'm hoping against hope that not too many people were at work yet, but somehow I doubt it.

Trading on Wall Street has stopped.

Didn't a small personal plane crash into the white house about 5 years ago?



Apparently this is based on a plan developed by the guy who bombed the WTC a few years ago.

personally I don't think the palenstiens would do it. their current strategy, which is actually startign to work, is trror against Isreal, and trying to get the rest of the world on their side. and if they did this, this would turn public opinion after them for a long long time.

Haven't heard anything about Capitol Hill on NBC. I think they would have reported it by now if that was true.

From what Blair said, it's pretty unequivocal; you guys want to fight, we'll help you.

The BBC hasn't said anything about more planes, and they're being pretty careful to only report confirmed stuff. I hope it's just rumourmongering.

I hope so too.

An eyewitness saw people jumping from the towers.



Dear God.



I'm praying, and I can't help but think that it's not making a blind bit of difference.

They are really focusing on Bush calling it an Apparent Terrorist attack.



I seem to remember the same thing said about Oklahoma city.

They're interviewing a guy who was in the building. "People kept jumping out. Jumping and jumping and jumping. And you could see that they were still alive from the way they were moving."



He's so scared he can barely speak. Says he dragged out a guy whose skin was hanging off.

They confirmed Flight 11 to LA

I'm in NYC, in a partial state of shock, as you can probably imagine. I saw the tower collapse.



Can't stop my hands shaking.

I heard about the building collapse on the way home. I started crying. I didn't even cry when my grandfather died. Holy Shakespeare this is the worst thing that has ever happened to the United States. Please don't let them pull out the nukes.



Don't go home and watch the TV, you don't want to see it.

A car bomb just went off outside the state department.

My priest has always said that all you can do is offer things up. And I know that you can't pray for yourself.



I just feel so impotent.

Came in 30 secs ago. car bomb outside state department, preliminary info



This is worse than Dec 7th 41. I fear for every shiite muslim

90 passengers & crew on the first, 60 passengers & crew on the second planes.

Jesus, Slee - where are you located? I have a friend who works on Water Street - do you know anything about that location?

Be careful, be careful Slee, please.

THERE IS ANOTHER PLANE HEADING TOWARDS THE PENTEGON!!!

Both American Airlines.

Bush is being very cautious, isn't he, in saying it's an "apparent terrorist attack." Even Tony Blair's saying it's clearly terrorism.

I'm on 31st. Downtown is a war zone. Everything is shut down; bridges, subway, trains.

Why is the Frost-ing radio playing commercials?! Who gives a Shakespeare about cell phones and breakfast sandwixhes?!

The radio cut off a guy described people jumping out of the building. Said the streets were red with..



<announcer> That is enough.



We are sending all of our inbound flights to Canada.



Bye guys.



Listening to this makes me think of Wars and rumors of wars that I've heard about. Never really beleived that. Just listening to the radio contradict itself every other reporter.

Oh god, Slee. Please be careful. There's bound to be rioting.

there are reports that another hijacked plane is about 20 miles from Washington. They're telling everyone to take cover.

Sleestack; love and prayers to you. Please keep safe.

The second tower is down

They said the second tower has fallen.

God help us. The second tower has just collapsed.

take cover because it will be shot down.

THE SECOND TOWER JUST COLLAPSED.

Declaration of war exists in America.

Sorry, Against america

My God; the view across the bay.



Those poor people.

Walking down 5th Avenue hearing screaming, crying and people running past you in a panic as a tower collapses is NOT how you want to start the day. Gonna live with that image for the rest of my freaking life.

Tower #2 is gone.

They can't tell; it's either begun to collapse, or has collapsed.

they had just been showing pictures of all these firemen walking towards the towers to get any survivors out. When one man was asked why he was suiting up to go there, he said "It's my Job. Some of my brothers might be in there".

Frost this. This is sick as hell.



I'm going back to bed and when i wake up, it will be a huge nightmare...

Dan Rather is speechless.



<dan> uhuhuhuuhuh

Frankly, I'm having a lot of fun with this. Stuff gets bombed every day, after all, the only remarkable thing about it is that it was the US.

Another hijacked aircraft is on its way to Washington. Chicago buildings are also being evacuated.

Brokaw can barely speak

Id, please, go Frost yourself.

Id; stuff doesn't get bombed on this scale every day. The IRA has never done anything like this. They had a correspondant on from Jerusalem; people used to the turmoil there were horrified and said that the attacks are not on a scale anything like this.

As odd as it sounds <a href="www.aol.com>www.AOL.com" </a> is still available.

It says alot when pros like Rather can't speak.

How am I going to talk to my students about this? They are just little kids. Most of them wont know today, but tomorrow, I'll be anwering lots of questions.

sorry

Make them stick firecrackers in their mouth?

Frost YOU ID. I'd kick your ass personnally if I knew who and where you are.

The guy who sits next to me had a callback sheet for a computer issue at a Citibank office located in the World Trade Center.



I guess he'll be filing that one.

Oh, Gavia. What a hard thing to have to do. I'm an adult, and I can't say I understand why or how somebody could do this sort of thing.

But you don't know where I live. Shame, that.



Look, I know it's callous of me, but innocent people are slaughtered everywhere, every day, often by the US. It would be unfair of me to care more about this.

Frost you id

"Worst terrorist attack in history"

747 down in pennsylvania

I can't even call Maine.

Id, you are a moron.

Since I can't get on any news sites, you all get "useful" clicks.

Id, please show a little sensitivity.



Usually I'd flame your arse, but this really isn't the time.

They are clearing tall buildings in London.

I can get to AOL.com but not the full coverage

Does Bin Laden have nukes? Does he?

They say warnings that attacks were planned were issued four days ago.

I'd hate to be the insurance guy on the Towers.



I don't think he is getting a bonus this year.

If "Frost you" is all you've got to say about it, you might as well not say anything. I mean, actually think about it. A huge number of innocent people are dead forever because of this. It's a tragedy of almost incomprehensible proportions. Yeah. But it happens all the time, and I don't see you guys getting this worked up every day, because it's not America.

i just got up (on the west coast) to all this...



i'm scared to death, guys. especially for all of you on the east coast.

I'm crying. This is bloody ridiculous. I desperately want to be able to help, and can't.

warning that attacks are going to happen..



what attacks? where? thta's the problem, they issue alerts all the time.

up until now, i'd say everything was coordinated. from now on? i'd think it would be independent cells. car bombing the state department seems like an add-on.



i'd prepare for more of this.

London Stock Exchange evacuated. Israel has moved all its diplomatic staff out of all its premises in the States.

Well, sorry, Pobble. I guess if you say it that way I might as well cool it. Obviously I have strong feelings about this in a different way than most people, but this probably isn't the time or place.

You know Id is right. Just last week the US destroy several prominant buildings in France.

Id, I curse you, you Emerson.

Thank you, Id. I do understand where you're coming from; remember, I live in a city where the IRA are always blowing people up. I think that all the world's civilised peoples are horrified about this, because it's not just an attack on the US; it's an attack on civilisation, democracy and freedom.

Holy crap. This is sickening.



Dawn called me on her cell as she was heading to school. She's torn between being at school and coming home. She has friends in both DC and NY, not to mention that she's in downtown Richmond.



This is most likely the start of war.

<Generic news guy> Just last night we we scanning the terrorist activity reports, We saw nothing like this. did you notice Anything Dan?



<Dan Rather>bluhbluh ba baba bui yo ta





I think that may be his last broadcast.

Unconfirmed report of plane crash in Pennsylvania. Colin Powell is on his way back to Washington.

I can understand that, I guess.



In the interests of pure information...the US/Canada border has been closed. It's easy to forget sometimes that we're separate countries, but...hrm. Regardless of how we all feel about this, it's going to be a very tense September.

I just cannot believe this.



This is beyond my capacity for shock humor. I know it's not beyond some people's capacity, but I think we should just ignore them.



Since the news sites are unreachable, please post whatever you know here.

True, there are bombings all over the world. but that's a car bomb in a busy civilian area. This is two large airplanes, hijacked. crashed into some of the largest office buildings on the world. crashed into the HQ of the american military. crashed into the home of the prresident of hte united states. (or supposedly attempted) crashed into major federal buildings. it's a little different.

Welcome to a new world kids, hope we all survive. The animalswho did this have succeding in bring thier horror to us. They need to be killed. I'm against capital punishmnt but this is hitler level. Frost-ing cowards, call themselves an army but can't attack a miltary target. Kill them all.

Jesus Christ! This is truly horrible. My thoughs go out to everyone of you.

They are now saying Bush was speaking right after the first tower was hit.



Powell is being flown in from Peru. He is having to land in Canada first.



Osama (cgi_)bin laden has unequivocally denouced this.

I wonder if the plane than went down in the Pittsburgh area was just an accident.



Unless they were going for the Amish.

A large plane has crashed just North of the Somerset County Airport in Pennsylvania. A 747, I think. 80 miles south-east of Pittsburg. Yasser Arafat has condemned the attacks, and has sent the condolances of the Palestinian people to the people of the US and George Bush.

Part of the towers collapsed into a building near an elementary school. The building exploded.

Last news i heard, thers yet another plan hijacked and heading for Washignton.

You're enjoying this, aren't you Id? You stupid ass. NOTHING like this has ever happened. What terrorist attack on anybody anywhere has had tens of thousands of dead? Do you have any idea how many people you can get in a 100 storey building?? The elevator motors are at the top.



I'd like to thank you, Id, for being such a good example of why I don't take you Frost-ing loser socialist Emersons sucking your sour grapes very seriously. Sorry your system of government is stupid. By gloating you show yourself for the small person you are rather than the haughty air of condescension that is all you have left in the face of your irrelevancy.

There have never been suicide bombers involved in mainstream terrorist attacks in the States before.

does bin have nukes? does anyone know

/

Ford; please shut up. He's gone now, and it's really not the time.

50000 people per building.



resuce workers



all of the buildings nearby



I can't even imagine how many people that is.

...one more thing. I think we can all agree this is at least a BAD thing, however we feel about it. The death toll is 50000 and rising...so guys, maybe think about this the next time you wanna make Holocaust jokes.

I don't know, Shecab. I hope not.
