NEW YORK, Sept. 11 -- Two aircraft slammed into the World Trade Center in New York on Tuesday, in what was immediately speculated to be a terrorist attack. The FBI reported that a hijacking might have taken place just before the crashes. Police and ambulances were rushing to the scene.
THE AIRCRAFT struck about a half hour apart, starting fires and sending smoke billowing out of the skyscrapers. The first crash happened shortly before 9 a.m. ET.
MSNBC.com reporter Martin Wolk, who was inside one of the towers, said the lights flickered and then a loud bang was heard. People panicked and started to flee the building.
When they reached the lobby, smoke started to fill the building and people could see debris falling and many cars outside were damaged. "It was sheer pandemonium, people were screaming and crying, afraid to go outside because of the falling debris," Wolk said. "We looked up and it looked like the top 20 floors were in flames."
Another bystander described a barrage of debris raining down on the sidewalk below.

About 9 a.m., a second aircraft was seen crashing into the other tower. Broadcast cameras already watching the scene filmed the second plane ram the tower.
Large holes were visible in sides of the 110-story buildings. The tops of the twin towers were obscured by the smoke.
Thousands of pieces of what appeared to be office paper came drifting over Brooklyn, about three miles from the tower, one witness said.
Terrorism was speculated given that the center was bombed on Feb. 26, 1993, killing six people and injured more than 1,000 others.
The FBI said it was investigating reports of a hijacking. A United Airlines employee said he had heard reports that an American Airlines jet had been hijacked and was one of the two aircraft that flew into the center. It was not clear if there were passengers on board.
New York airports and the Lincoln Tunnel reportedly were closed as a precautionary measure
If you are a hippie anarchist and would like to let Mr. Thomas Nolle how you really feel, a little research in Google provided me with this information:

ICQ doesn't have rotating ads like AIM and MSN, but the advertising is still there. Whenever you first start ICQ it pops up a window, with plenty of advertisments. Check out the ICQ homepage. Chock full of advertising. What AOL is failing to realize about ICQ is that it is not My Yahoo, or even AOL Lite. If they just stuck to a barebones IM client, instead of having all the bells and whistles of a "portal," I would be more willing to use them. The RAM that ICQ sucks up on a windows client is astounding.
Not to flame, but this isn't HIGHLY unlikely, but COMPLETELY unlikely. I think everyone would agree with me that Linux is not ready for mainstream commercial use (yet). Windows is so ingrained in the general public's mind as the "only" operating system, and AOL's monsterous marketing campaign contain an inherent committment to Microsoft and it's operating system. And, who do you know that uses Office for Windows and has actually paid for it?
Well, I've now ditched the account, changed all the info, but Napster is blocking by snagging my IP. Unless of course MetallicaFucks5YearOldBoys was a blocked account. Or not.

This sure seems like the modern day pearl harbor attack.
