Early reports… to be updated ASAP

9:00am USA EST - The north tower of The World Trade Center was attacked by an aircraft – possibly hijacked. 18 minutes later the south tower was targeted by a hijacked passenger airliner. Both aircraft were purposely crashed into the World Trade Centre to cause the maximum amount of damage.

Both towers of The World Trade Center in New York have collapsed - both aircraft involved in the attack have been confirmed as hijacked American Airlines flights 11 and 77 (164 passengers and crew in total).
In total 4 aircraft have been confirmed as lost from two different airlines, the two initial aircraft that collided with the World Trade Center twin towers, one aircraft that hit the Pentagon and another that went down near Pittsburgh.

Shortly after the second aircraft hit the World Trade Center a third plane struck the Pentagon, causing extensive structural damage and untold human loss.

A fourth hijacked aircraft crash landed near Pittsburgh shortly after the Penagon was hit.

The attacks are being treated as a tightly controlled and executed terrorist attack against the USA. While nobody has, as yet, claimed responsibility - the theories are being pushed toward a Middle Eastern origin.

Unconfirmed reports of car bombs and other terrorist activity have been rampant through all news broadcasts since the start of this tragedy.

We will try to keep the news as current as possible – the general forum section has been following the events as they unfold.

Our thoughts go out to all those affected by this horrific incident...
