MSNBC STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
NEW YORK, Sept. 11 - Americans reeled in horror Tuesday as the worst
terrorist attack in U.S. history saw two planes crash into the World Trade
Center, toppling the twin 110-story towers. An explosion later rocked the
Pentagon in Washington, where the White House and all other federal
buildings were being evacuated. Military jets patrolled the skies while the
FAA grounded all civilian aircraft nationwide, but not before reports of
another plane crashing in Pennsylvania. President Bush vowed to "hunt down
the folks who committed this act."
'People were screaming and crying, afraid to go outside because of the
falling debris.'
- MARTIN WOLK
MSNBC.com reporter THE FATE OF those in the twin skyscrapers was not
immediately known. Authorities had been trying to evacuate the thousands of
people who work in the towers when they collapsed, trapping rescuers and
workers. Much of Manhattan was being evacuated.
"I swear I've never seen anything like this," said MSNBC's Ashleigh
Banfield. "This whole place is like a complete war zone."
At the Pentagon, officials said an aircraft crashed into part of the
sprawling complex. Walls were later seen to have collapsed.
At the State Department, an earlier report of a car bomb proved to be
unfounded.
In New York, the aircraft struck minutes apart, starting fires and
sending smoke billowing out of the skyscrapers. The top of the south tower
later collapsed onto the street below.
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.
Shortly after 9 a.m., a second aircraft was seen crashing into the
other tower. Broadcast cameras already watching the scene filmed the second
plane as it slammed into the tower and exploded in a huge fireball.
A half hour later, President Bush made a brief statement to
reporters, calling the disaster a "national tragedy" and attributing it to
terrorists. He did not cite any specific terrorist groups but vowed to "hunt
down the folks who committed this act."
U.S. military jets reportedly took to the skies to shoot down any
unidentified aircraft, and congressional leaders were taken to secure
locations. A plane was reported to have been circling the Capitol building
before the evacuation.
American Airlines later acknowledged that one of its flights had been
hijacked Tuesday morning shortly after leaving Boston en route to Los
Angeles.
The second plane might have flown out of Newark, a U.S. official
said, speaking on
condition of anonymity.
In the wake of the crashes, New York airports and the Lincoln Tunnel
were closed as precautionary measures. The stock exchanges in New York also
did not open.
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.

In an earlier terrorist attack, the center was bombed on Feb. 26,
1993, killing six people and injured more than 1,000 others. Terrorist Ramzi
Yousef and three others were convicted of orchestrating the attack. Three
other indicted co-conspirators remain at large.
Traffic entering New York City from New Jersey was at a standstill
approaching the Holland Tunnel as motorists stood outside their cars
watching the fire.
Across the country, highrises like Chicago's Sears Trade tower were
being evacuated as a precaution. Buildings were also being evacuated in
London.
