It's no hoax.
Each of the World Trade Center Towers has been hit by a hijacked plane . As of 11:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 11, both towers had collapsed. (Source: New Jersey Online
There are also reports that a aircraft crashed at the Pentagon and that a car bomb exploded at the state department. (New Jersey Online
There's also a report of a plane down outside of Pittsburgh -- possibly a 747 -- but no idea if it's connected to the overal attack. (New Jersey Online
News about the plane crashes is highly speculative right now. Damn, everything's highly speculative when it comes to this. In an address around 9:30 a.m., President George W. Bush said it appeared that that the Trade Center attacks were terroist in nature. Naturally, the president has to show some restraint in his pronouncements, but I've seen the news photos of the gaping holes in the side of the World Trade Center buildings, and the smoke covering Manhattan after the buildings collapsed.
It's obvious to anyone: This was no accident. It's war
Accorindg to Fox news, the "Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine" has taken responsibility for the attack, but who knows?
