The second plane was a 767, from the footage I thought it was a 737, but CNN reports it was a 767 from Boston.  :(

Truly horrifying   :confused:   :(   :(

Reportedly:
The plane that hit the Pentagon was a 767.
A plane was crashed/shot down in PA.
And another is inbound Pentagon (which has F-15's overhead now)

we don't have armed guards on the planes. organized enough, a terrorist group could easily stash weapons onboard a particular flight(s)...
I only hope we can determine the masterminds of these attacks...

The PA plane sure looks like it was shot down before it could reach DC, has it been confirmed? Is that the plane which was being tracked suspected of hijacking?

What I really fear is that this has only begun... carbombing is not that difficult and these attacks show a well planned strategy...

186 people from those two American Airlines aircraft were on-board when they crashed into the Twin Towers.

The fourth reported hijacked aircraft crashed NEAR Camp David, but not into it.

The third aircraft from Kennedy crashed into the Helicopter pad of the Pentagon, slid from the outside into the inner court of the building destroying a section of the Pentagon. High ranking people were in that wing, but NOT high ranking officials. (whatever that means)

Both Trade Center Towers collapsed, the second one collapsed while I was driving to class (about 10:45AM Eastern).

That's all I know so far, these are reports I heard from Washington, DC radio stations (I live in Maryland).

Sad, very very sad.

Canada has also closed its airports as well.  Thank you for the suppoort, to all and everyone from other countries of the world.
This is indeed a dark hour, and one that will not go unnoticed.  
If any of you are in the countries that will eventually be found to have aided in this, you better move.  
There are many countries that were represented in the World Trade Centers, and you can bet they will all come to aid in hunting down who is responsible for this.

One more tidbit, that nut job Lahden or whatever he calls himself, claims to have called the United States 3 weeks ago and told them there was going to be an attack on U.S. soil.

US is again turning towards itself like in 30's...

Just look at this off topic message board. Most of the talk is about gun control and how right to bear arms is required to protect you from your own government. Or abort laws.

I think it has been continuously shown that the threat is not from your own government but outside world. Yet nobody notices or discusses it.

Jochen, I've seen you attempt several trolls like this since this tragedy occured, and I've held my tongue.  I thought, "Surely Jochen, while being a somewhat abrasive character, couldn't possibly be this callous?"  But I wonder...  Are you happy that this event happened?  Or do you have so little regard for human life that you don't mind using this event to aid your selfish attempts to get attention and continue petty political arguments from the past?  Whatever it is, I suggest you reconsider any future posts on this topic lest you erode whatever respect remains for you in the multiplayer flight sim community.

Jochen I see that you came out of the woodwork to give a partial explanation of your celebration of this tragedy. You are also in the same category of jerk as eaglerc. Your attitude and comments are worthy only of disdain and contempt. Be assured that I have absolutely nothing but contempt for you and your statements. There is no room for humor in the events that occured yesterday.

I sincerely hope that others in this game will treat you the same. If you are flying in my country I will gladly announce your position and allow ANY enemy player to take you out without any interferrance. If killshooter were not engaged I'd do it myself.
