Cry havoc, and let lose the dogs of war...

Ok, a quick recap of events so far, and an expansion on breaking events.

• In the first attack, a plane smashed into the north tower (Tower 2) of the World Trade Center in Manhattan shortly before 9 a.m., followed by another plane into the second tower (Tower 1) about 20 minutes later. Both towers later collapsed. Sources say that one of the planes was an American Airlines Boeing 767 that had been hijacked after take-off from Boston.

• About an hour later, a plane crashed into a Pentagon heliport in Washington, part of which later collapsed.

• Sources say a second plane was heading toward the Pentagon; F-16 jets were in the air monitoring it, and escorted it out of the area.

• The Pentagon, the White House, the State Department, the Justice Department, the Capitol and all other government buildings in Washington evacuated.

• 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.

• Israel has evacuated all its missions around the world.

• President Bush cancelled an appearance in Florida to return to Washington, calling the crashes "apparent terrorist attacks" and "a national tragedy."

• In Chicago, the Sears Tower was evacuated; United Nations in New York evacuated.

• The New York Port Authority said it had closed all bridges and tunnels into the city.

• New York's Bellevue Hospital was designated command central for handling the catastrophe. Several hospitals have already reported receiving victims with burns and head injuries.

• Large plane crashed 80 miles south of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, the forth confirmed hi-jacking that was shot down by US aircraft.

• U.S. stock markets were closed after the New York attacks.

They are currently evacuating an area around a large high school in New York, because there is a bomb reported to be inside. Emergency Medical units, police and media are being forced north, due to the bomb threat. Four planes were hi-jacked, three hitting their targets, and the forth being shot down after a passenger called out on a cell phone to report the hi-jacking. Over three hundred people were on board the four planes, and of course there are no reported survivors. The FAA, has banned all flights and grounded those in the air; however, over an hour after the grounding, there are still “many” planes unaccounted for. (quote from Fox News and Dow Jones)
