Ambulances rush to scene, no word on casualties
An explosion rocks World Trade Center Tower 1 as Tower 2 burns from a previous plane collision.
MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
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.
"You could hear a jet overhead and it seemed to be low," eyewitness Mary Cozza told WNBC TV, describing the aircraft as a small jet plane.
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.

It has happend before
"TrueServer has a gigabit line to the AMS-IX and a 100MBit transit uplink with Level3, Ebone, Telia and AboveNet"
TrueServer is where they have their servers co-located. I think tweakers.net itself is 'just' on a 100Mbit link.
I installed ruby just to test this out and got this:
./google.ry

#: Exception from service object: Invalid authorization key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (SOAP::FaultError)
So it's just to keep us from using it just yet I guess.
