BREAKING NEWS from CNN.com
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Terrorists struck the United States Tuesday morning
in harrowing, widespread attacks that included at least three
commercial jet crashes into significant buildings.
In the first attack, a plane hit the north tower of the World Trade
Center in Manhattan shortly before 9 a.m., followed by another plane
into the second tower about 20 minutes later. Both towers later
collapsed.
About an hour later, a plane crashed into the Pentagon, part of which
later collapsed.
American Airlines told CNN that it lost two planes in "tragic
accidents:" Flight 11 from Boston with 81 passengers and 11 crew
aboard and Flight 77 from Washington Dulles airport with 58
passengers and six crew aboard. Both planes were en route to Los
Angeles.
United Airlines Flight 93 airliner headed from Newark, New Jersey, to
San Francisco, crashed near Somerset, Pennsylvania -- police said
initial reports indicated no survivors. United also confirmed the
crash of Flight 175 from Boston to Los Angeles.
The Pentagon, the White House, the State Department, the Justice
Department, the Capitol, the CIA and all other government buildings
in Washington evacuated.
President Bush cancelled an appearance in Florida to return to
Washington, calling the crashes "apparent terrorist attacks" and "a
national tragedy."
In the first ever national ground stop of aircraft, all flights
nationwide have been stopped at their departure airports. All
international flights were diverted to Canada.
Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, the Taliban ambassador to Pakistan, said in
reaction to the news of the terror attacks that "we want to tell the
American children that Afghanistan feels your pain and we hope that
the courts find justice."
In New York, more than 10,000 rescue personnel rushed to the scene.
The entire downtown area of Manhattan was evacuated as far north as
Rockefeller Center, according to an official at an emergency command
post.
