hijackers that hit the Pentagon were supposed to be headed for White House yesterday.


Air Force One was also a target and had to alter flight path.

3 arrests in Boston. Linked people to credit cards used to purchase the plane tickets.

9/12/2001 2:55:23 PM

Congress doesn't believe the acts of terrorism are over.

Bin Laben may have had other financial backers.

Trent Lott: "We are at war whether we declare it or not."

9/12/2001 3:08:38 PM

flights won't resume until at least 6:00 tonight. More than likely it won't be until tomorrow morning though

9/12/2001 3:16:19 PM

do you really think that if they pulled all that off they were stupid enough to use their own credit cards? I THINK NOT.

9/12/2001 3:19:28 PM

considering the people who bought the tickets, if they were driving the plane, are dead anyway... what do they care?

9/12/2001 3:23:53 PM

true true

9/12/2001 3:25:47 PM

but they wouldn't have wanted it linked to their families/friends i wouldn't think

9/12/2001 3:26:09 PM

Considering that some of the group sacrificed their lives to carry out this mission, I doubt the rest of the group is concerned with "getting away with it."

9/12/2001 3:47:50 PM

9/12/2001 3:49:48 PM

senate passed a resolution condemning the attack 100-0...

9/12/2001 3:50:04 PM

Ooh, wow, they passed a resolution condemning the attack unanimously.

Witness me pantomiming masturbation to show what a big deal that is.

9/12/2001 3:51:15 PM

sweet... i want photos of the destruction that will happen to whoever its going to happen to.. revenge is so sweet.

9/12/2001 3:51:24 PM

some of those arab fucks are saying we did it to ourselves so bush can get support for the missile defense system. what idiots. what good would a missile defense system have done in this case?

i am starting to dislike the arabs more and more, not because of the attacks, because i know that was extremists, but because of the mass celebration over one of the most tragic days in modern history.

9/12/2001 3:52:00 PM

froshkiller, the title of the bill isnt important, you dipshit. there were clauses in there saying congress fully supports any presidential effort to bring justice to the perpetrators...basically saying congress approves the president taking whatever action he needs to.

9/12/2001 3:53:18 PM

this just in: plane that hit pentagon was headed to white house...AF1 was also a potential target...

9/12/2001 4:07:41 PM

stupid media morons, they are basically asking the spokesman to tell them how they knew that AF1 was a target, and stuff. hey morons, its classified for a reason, they're not going to announce to the world how AF1 works and what decisions they make.

9/12/2001 4:17:28 PM

NATO is saying the attack on one member is an attack on all members...

John McCain said (about those guilty of this) "May God have mercy on them, because we won't."

9/12/2001 4:18:32 PM

CNN just reported that men on board of Flight 93, Pennsylvania, voted to overtake the highjackers...but then lost the contact.

9/12/2001 4:46:39 PM

probably would of be shot down if it had made it to washington. By that time, TWC were in flames, pentagon was on fire..and jets in the sky.

9/12/2001 4:50:25 PM

sounds like they heard what was going on and tried to overthrow the hijackers, and were somehow able to crash the plane before it could do any damage...


...for the last minute or so there had been a small unmarked plane (like a private plane type craft) in NYC airspace they are stupid if they're flying there...

9/12/2001 5:04:49 PM

Troops from Seymour Johnson AFB have been called into duty. No word on what this involves.

9/12/2001 5:09:27 PM

another WTC tower (#4) may be collapsing now.




[Edited on September 12, 2001 at 5:13 PM. Reason : clarification.]

9/12/2001 5:13:29 PM

are there any left?

9/12/2001 5:14:10 PM

This would be the fourth tower/building to collapse. I know there's at least 7.

9/12/2001 5:15:06 PM

its not a tower, its a building. One and Two were towers (110 stories), Seven was a 4-something building. CNN said that there is damage to a 10-block radius, with many buildings near the twin towers damaged severely.

9/12/2001 5:18:50 PM

damn, when the smoke clears up i bet it will be a huge ass mess

9/12/2001 5:19:38 PM

it might be a bit of a stretch, but this is kinda interesting

Quote :

""In the City of God there will be a great thunder, two brothers torn apart by chaos, while the fortress endures, the great leader will succumb.", "The third big war will begin when the big city is burning." - Nostradamus "

9/12/2001 5:20:21 PM

there was a reporter who went to ground zero (no cameras allowed), and when he came back he was talking about it... said there are still pillars standing where the towers were, they might collapse, the rescue workers are carrying around cans to collect body parts...the workers are in a large amount of danger because of the instability of the structures in that area...they set up a medical center to treat survivors and a morgue, there is nobody in the med.center, the morgue is filling with bodies and pieces of bodies...

...nine survivors have been pulled from the rubble so far...

9/12/2001 5:21:33 PM

after a couple days, the smell probably will be god awful.

9/12/2001 5:21:40 PM

the Nostradamus thing is utter bullshit (http://www.snopes2.com/inboxer/hoaxes/predict.htm)

9/12/2001 5:22:17 PM

we've already been over the irrelevancy of nostradamus. nostradamus is a crock, a fraud, and his "predictions" are vague references that can be applied to anything. the first quote isn't even a nostradamus quote, it was by a canadian student's report on nostradamus, showing how N's things are so vague they could be applied to many things. and NYC is anything but a city of God...

9/12/2001 5:23:45 PM

bart types quicker than me...

9/12/2001 5:24:15 PM

Wow, that article just made me sick to my stomach. I cannot believe people are rejoicing over the slaughter of 10's of thousands of innocent people.

Our "Indestructible Fortress" or whatever hasn't been penetrated. What courage it took to crash a civilian plane into rather large civilian buildings. Wait till the time of redemption, we'll see who thinks we're indestructible.

9/12/2001 5:27:17 PM

two simultaneous announcements...building 5 is believed to collapse at any moment...and the govt announced they have specific information linking this to osama bin ladin. congess is now in a closed-to-the-public debriefing

9/12/2001 5:27:43 PM

they're evacuating the bldg. 5 area now...quickly. (technically its One Liberty Plaza, but is considered bldg.5 in the WTC complex)

9/12/2001 5:30:21 PM

confirmed partial collapse of bldg.5

9/12/2001 5:32:03 PM

my friends' mom talked to some of her students that attend georgetown and from the top of their dorm they could see the pentagon burning, etc and they said there was a lot more activity in dc than is being reported... other bombs or fires - they didn't really know

9/12/2001 5:33:01 PM

^^^ Not the least bit surprising ^^^

9/12/2001 5:34:15 PM

funny, my dad that was there all last night said everything was calm there.. He was stuck in Georgetown right up the street from the capitol. I really don't think that there is reason to panic.

9/12/2001 5:34:32 PM

there is specific information linking the attack to Bin Ladin...

9/12/2001 5:38:46 PM

http://www.cnn.com/2001/US/09/12/america.under.attack/index.html

NATO vows to support, militarily and otherwise, any retaliation against the terrorists.

9/12/2001 5:42:29 PM

There is a Nostradamus prediction about this event guys, you probably won't believe it, but there is. I found it after seeing the towers fall because it reminded me of a passage that I thought was biblical, but was instead a Nostradamus prediction. Unlike the last two, mine is real. 10th Century 49th Quatrain.

Quote :

"Garden of the world near the new city, In the path of the hollow mountains: It will be seized and plunged into the Vat, Drinking by force the waters poisoned by sulfur."

New Jersey = The Garden State (garden of the world)
New York = near New Jersey (near the new city)
Collision = In the path of ...
Twin Towers = hollow mountains

With words like "plunge" and "by force," it's a little much for me to ignore. As for Nostradamus' vague style. You must understand that he wrote these in a time when making prognostications was considered heresy and punishable by death. That's why he used a mixture of languages, used anagrams and wrote symbolically and vaguely. He did this so that if his texts were ever discovered by the inquisitors that perhaps they would not know that they were predictions.

That being said. What's going on in DC that they aren't talking about
