I'm looking at it right now (we can see the WTC from our office) and it looks like a second plane just hit the second tower (we just saw it happen). I can't confirm it but it's absolutely crazy...
This was no accident. No way.
All trading has been postponed 'indefinately' on Wall Street.
WooHoo!!!!!
First dramatarded comment?
my greatest fear is how our government is going to respond. more erosion of freedom in the name of security. mark my words.
a close friend offers the following piece of advice to unix geeks around the world on this tragic, tragic day: rm -rf /bin/laden. In other news, Capitalism Magazine's coverage is available here. My condolances go out to all who are affected by this vicious attack on all that is good and decent.
It's over for Osama.
DON'T DRINK TAP WATER. My mother who is CEO of a hospital in upstate new york just got a biological warfare warning from the CDC. She told me not to drink bottled water (personally I was heading for the vodka figuring the alcohol would kill any microbes). The radio just mentioned that biological warfare has been suspected although there is no evidence. The only disease they have specifically named is anthrax, but still, better be careful. - miss-lapin
miss-lapin: Please provide a trustworthy, verifiable citation. I'm sure you trust your mother, but I'd rather hear it from CNN.

Unironically extremely interesting.
Half these people are r-slurred though, however it's interesting that Americans haven't been able to spell definitely in at least 2 decades

yanno, i'm gonna use this thread to tell my totally cool 9/11 story.
i was in gubment class and the teacher was a vietnam vet. another teacher came and banged on the door so he went out to talk to her. when he came back in it was like she kicked him in the nuts. then he turned the TV on and just fell to absolute pieces. then in the next class the teacher was all "science class is more important we aren't going to watch tv". then they let us all go home, so after spending the next hour smoking marijuana cigarettes i came home and played a japanese only import game online on my dreamcast for 8 straight hours.
god i was so fricking cool as a teen.

he's the kind of guy who VOLUNTEERED for vietnam and frickin' loves the country. it was weird seeing him like that cause not only was he a combat vet, he was a FRICKING TUNNEL RAT. like the manliest of men kind of guy.

Jesus Christ, wanting and being a tunnel rat takes another kind of crazy. I canβt imagine the feeling of being in a tunnel that is likely booby trapped and could have a VC just around the corner with a rifle while only being armed with a service pistol.

him reacting like he did made it all more real/serious to my totally cool edgy 16 year old stoner self.

"I literally just saw a plane hitting a building but I can't confirm that it did hit a building"
Smdh American politeness.
Also I've heard the towers were hit by a missile from a very trusted YouTube video so this is psyop to plant fake witness accounts of muh planes. Nice try. W1GWAGGAFAIKAHGSUMAYSIOQUE
