All my prayers go out to all the victims...

Some updates & summary from various sources...

Two planes have flown into both towers of the World Trade Center, one plane
(an American Airlines 767) is known to have been hijacked from an airport
in Boston. The towers have been evacuated. Uh oh, some are still in the
towers, two people just jumped.

Part of the World Trade tower has collapsed

All traffic in and out of NY has been stopped, no one in, no one out. All
airports in US have been shut down. No flights in, no flights out.

1-800 phone calls apparently not working...

A commercial airplane has flown into the Pentagon, Pentagon has been
evacuated too.

UNCONFIRMED reports of several more (possibly hi-jacked) planes still in the
air. All other planes have been ordered to land.

A fire has started in front of the White House (they are calling it the
Mall of the White House) and the White House has been evacuated too.

Capitol, treasury, White House, and State Department have been evacuated.

Boston and many other major cities are evacuating all potential taget
sites/buildings also...

As the White House was being evacuated, a threat came in, a credible
threat, and the evacuation process went even fast, at first they were
evacuating in an orderly fashion.

Supposedly the president was supposed to be heading back from Florida. I'm
sure that's going to be detoured somewhere else.
