Three hijacked planes crashed into major U.S. landmarks on Tuesday, destroying both of New York's mighty twin towers, hitting the Pentagon in Washington and plunging the United States into unprecedented chaos and panic.
Three hijacked planes crashed into major U.S. landmarks on Tuesday, destroying both of New York's mighty twin towers, hitting the Pentagon in Washington and plunging the United States into unprecedented chaos and panic.
Loss of life was expected to be catastrophic from the
collapse of the giant towers of the World Trade Center where many thousands of people work. The two enormous edifices both fell in a huge cloud of smoke and fire two hours after the initial impacts.
New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said there had been a ''tremendous number of lives lost'' in the attacks on his city. Another plane crashed near Pittsburgh. It was not clear if this was another attempted hijacking.
Hospitals in New York were overwhelmed with patients as a massive cloud billowed into the blue skies over Manhattan where the city skyline had been dramatically and permanently altered.
``Hundreds of people are burned from head to toe,'' said Dr. Steven Stern at St. Vincent's Hospital in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of lower Manhattan.
``The whole of lower Manhattan is coated in half an inch of dust,'' Reuters reporter Daniel Sternoff said.
BUSH CUTS SHORT VISIT
President Bush cut short a visit to Florida and rushed back to Washington to face the greatest crisis of his young presidency. He called the deliberate aerial assaults an ``apparent terrorist attack'', and ordered a full-scale investigation. Early speculation about the source of the attack centered on Saudi-born guerrilla leader Osama Bin-Laden.
It was the most dramatic and deadly attack on the U.S.
mainland in modern history. The attacks forced the evacuation of all government buildings in Washington, including the White House and other tall buildings around the country, cut cell phone communications on the East Coast and grounded all commercial planes in the United States.
Early reports said all three planes used in the attacks were hijacked, one of them from Boston and one from Washington. It was not immediately known who flew the planes and what happened to them.
The day of horror began around 9 a.m. in New York when the first plane plowed into the south tower of New York's World Trade Center, as thousands of workers were streaming into the building to begin their day.
It opened a huge hole near the top of the building. Two hours later, the whole building in which thousands of people collapsed on itself in a huge cloud of smoke and fire.
TV stations caught the second plane plowing into the second of the twin towers, exploding in a fire ball a few minutes after the first impact. That building caved in about an hour after the first.
Shortly afterward, a third plane crashed into or near the
Pentagon in Washington, throwing people off their feet inside the building and setting off a massive fire.
Amid confusion, news organizations reported another
explosion at the State Department but this was later denied. Other reports spoke of another hijacked plane heading toward the capital.
GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS EVACUATED
All government buildings including the White House and the Capitol and the CIA were evacuated. The Federal Aviation Authority grounded all planes in the United States, an unprecedented step.
``It's clear that this is terrorist-related, we're not sure who is responsible,'' one official said of the Pentagon attack.
``There was no advance warning of this,'' the official said on condition of anonymity.
One of the planes that crashed into the World Trade Center was American Airlines' Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles, said Lori Bassani, spokesperson for American's flight attendants union.
Bassani said if full, the flight on the Boeing 767 would carry 158 passengers. That would include two pilots and nine or 10 flight attendants, she said.
She said she did not know how many people were on board. ``Terrorism against our nation will not stand,'' Bush said before leaving Florida for the capital.
``Today we've had a national tragedy. Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country,'' he said, speaking before
schoolchildren, teachers and parents at Emma E. Booker Elementary School, where he had planned to talk about
education.
``I have spoken to the vice president, to the governor of New York, to the director of the FBI (news - web sites), and have ordered that the full resources of the federal government go to help the victims and the families and to conduct a full scale investigation to hunt down and to find those folks who committed this act,'' said Bush.
He called for a moment of silence. ``May God bless the victims, their families and America,'' Bush said, his voice breaking with emotion.
Bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire and Islamic militant, believed to be in exile in Afghanistan, was blamed for the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in which 224 people died.
An Arab journalist with access to bin Laden told Reuters in London that the renegade Saudi three weeks ago had warned of an ''unprecedented attack'' on U.S. interests.
The previous worst act of terrorism in the United States was the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City in which 168 people died. Timothy McVeigh was executed for that attack earlier this year
A previous bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993 resulted in six deaths and hundreds of injuries.
World Trade Center and Pentagon attacked on Sept. 11, 2001
Thousands are dead and injured as hijacked U.S. airliners ram targets. The World Trade Towers are brought down, leaving Manhattan in chaos. President Bush puts the military on highest alert, closes borders and vows to 'find those responsible.'
By Matea Gold and Maggie Farley Los Angeles Times Staff Writers
September 12, 2001
NEW YORK—
1) In the worst terrorist attack ever against the United States, hijackers struck at the preeminent symbols of the nation's wealth and might Tuesday, flying airliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and killing or injuring thousands of people.
2) As a horrified nation watched on television, the twin towers of the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan collapsed into flaming rubble after two Boeing 767s rammed their upper stories. A third airliner, a Boeing 757, flattened one of the Pentagon's five sides.
3) A fourth jetliner crashed in western Pennsylvania. Authorities said the hijackers might have been trying to aim the plane at the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md., the Capitol or other targets in Washington.
4) The assaults, which stirred fear and anxiety across the country and evoked comparisons to
Pearl Harbor, were carefully planned and coordinated, occurring within 50 minutes. No one claimed responsibility, but official suspicion quickly fell on Saudi fugitive Osama bin Laden. Unexplained was how the terrorists boarded the jets and overpowered the crews.
5) Federal law enforcement sources said the FBI conducted searches and served subpoenas,
some in south Florida. One official said agents were investigating the possibility that some of the terrorists were pilots who had been trained "for this kind of action."
6) The FBI was sifting through hundreds of tips pouring into a toll-free hotline and a Web site
and pursuing dozens of leads.
7) Addressing the nation Tuesday night, President Bush vowed to "find those responsible and
bring them to justice." This country, he said, would retaliate against "those behind these evil acts" and any country that harbors them.
8) Altogether, the four downed planes carried 266 people. All were killed. Scores of people
jumped to their deaths or died in fires and the collapsing superstructure at the Trade Center. New York Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani said earliest reports counted 2,100 people injured, about 150 of them in critical condition.【world,trade,center】
9) Estimates of the death toll at the Pentagon ranged from 100 to 800.
10) At nightfall, more than nine hours after the attack, a 47-story annex to the 110-floor twin
towers at the Trade Center collapsed as well. It too had caught fire, but by the time it fell, all of its occupants had been evacuated.
11) At a late-night news conference, New York authorities said more than 300 firefighters and
three dozen police officers were missing. Many had rushed into the towers after the airliners hit, only to be trapped when the buildings collapsed.
12) Among the dead were the New York fire chief, his chief of special operations and a first
deputy commissioner.【world,trade,center】
13) Some of those still in the rubble reportedly called officials or family members on their cell
phones, and some trapped police officers made radio contact with headquarters. But because of fires and unstable debris, rescue attempts were halted after dark.
14) Bush placed U.S. forces around the world on highest alert and flew from a visit in Florida to
secure military bases in Louisiana and Nebraska before returning to Washington to address the nation. Vice President Dick Cheney, Cabinet members, congressional leaders, and the president's family also were taken to secure locations.
15) It was the worst siege of terrorism waged against the United States in its history. It shut down
the federal government in Washington and the financial markets in New York. It closed all airports across the nation for the first time, as well as some Amtrak rail lines in the Northeast. It put off the primary election in New York and closed Disneyland. It halted major league baseball for a day, as only World War I and D-day have done before.
16) America tightened security at its borders and at embassies and military sites around the world.
The National Guard patrolled Washington and New York. Bridges and tunnels into Manhattan were closed. Authorities evacuated the Capitol Building, the State Department, the CIA building, the United Nations and the Sears Tower in Chicago. Hoover Dam was closed to visitors. Patrols increased along the trans-Alaska oil pipeline.
17) Even in Europe, authorities evacuated high-rise buildings as a precaution.
18) Members of Congress, after being briefed by FBI and intelligence officials, said Bin Laden
was the suspected mastermind. "They've come to the conclusion," said Sen. Orrin G. Hatch (R-Utah), "that this has the signature of Osama bin Laden." He is the fugitive Saudi terrorist under indictment here for the bombing of American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. Bin Laden has been granted asylum by Afghanistan.
19) That nation's hard-line Islamic Taliban rulers condemned the attacks in New York and
Washington and rejected suggestions that Bin Laden was behind them. In London, editor Abdel-Bari Atwan of the Al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper said he had heard that Islamic fundamentalists close to Bin Laden were planning a major operation but that he did not take the threat seriously.
20) "They said it would be a huge and unprecedented attack," Atwan told Associated Press, "but
they did not specify."
21) Anger across the United States brought talk of retaliation. "These attacks clearly constitute an
act of war," said Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.).
22) He was echoed by Adm. Robert J. Natter, commander of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet. "We've been
attacked like we haven't [been] since Pearl Harbor."
23) "This is the second Pearl Harbor," said Sen. Charles Hagel (R-Neb.). "I don't think I overstate
it." Nearly 2,400 people died when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. It drew the United States into World War II.
24) Governments around the world offered condolences and pledged solidarity in the fight
against terrorism. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat said he was horrified by the attacks. But in the West Bank town of Nablus, about 3,000 people took to the streets, chanted "God is great" and handed out candy in a gesture of celebration.
25) Russian President Vladimir V. Putin called the attacks "terrible tragedies." China said it was
"horrified." Pope John Paul II condemned the "unspeakable horror" and prayed for the victims and their families.
26) The sequence of events that stunned New York into grief-stricken agony began at 7:59 a.m.
EDT, when American Airlines Flight 11 took off from Boston's Logan International Airport. The flight carried 81 passengers and a crew of 11 westward toward Los Angeles International Airport. Fifteen minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175 left Logan, also bound for Los Angeles. It carried 56 passengers and a crew of nine.
27) What transpired inside both aircraft in the minutes that followed remains unclear; it never
may be known. Later in the day, however, federal authorities would speculate that the planes were chosen by their hijackers because their transcontinental loads of jet fuel effectively made them flying bombs.
28) Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft said the hijackers of Flight 11 were armed with knives. Other
reports indicated some flight attendants on Flight 175 were stabbed.
29) A Routine Start to Day and Then Chaos
30) What is known for certain is that Flight 11--the first aircraft to strike the World Trade
Center--was hijacked somewhere over upstate New York, made a hard left turn and flew for approximately 14 minutes until it struck the Manhattan landmark.
31) Flight Explorer, a Virginia-based company that sells Federal Aviation Administration radar
data to airlines, was tracking the flight. According to Walter Kross, one of the company's technical specialists, the 767 was flying at 29,000 feet near Albany, N.Y., when it veered to the southeast.
32) The plane's speed dropped from about 450 knots to 340 knots. The Boeing 767 flew faster as
it headed for the New York area, reaching a speed of 500 knots. It then slowed to about 300 knots as it approached the World Trade Center.
33) About 8:30 a.m., it slammed into the building.
34) "It had to have been hand-flown," Kross said, suggesting that at least one of the hijackers was
skilled enough to pilot the aircraft with precision.
35) A thunderstorm Monday night had cleared the air over Manhattan and the sunlight of a warm
September morning was glinting off the Hudson River as the business day began in the city's highest buildings.
36) Clyde Ebanks, vice president of an insurance company, was at a meeting on the 103rd floor
of the World Trade Center's south tower when his boss said, "Look at that!"
37) He turned and saw a plane go past and hit the north tower.
38) Carnage and chaos ensued.
39) Peter Dicerbo led his 44 colleagues from the First Union National Bank down 47 flights of
stairs. He staggered away from the building, his clothes torn; the workers were stunned, dazed and coughing.
40) Less than 20 minutes later, the United Airlines jet struck the other World Trade Center tower.
41) "The minute I got out of the building, the second building blew up," said Jennifer Brickhouse,
34, from Union, N.J., who was riding an escalator into the trade center when she "heard this big boom."
42) "All this stuff started falling," she said, "and all this smoke was coming through. People were
screaming, falling and jumping out of the windows."
43) At least one couple were seen leaping hand-in-hand from the tower's upper stories.
44) Three miles away, across the East River in Brooklyn, sheets of office paper fluttered out of
the sky.
45) At 9:50 a.m., an hour after the first crash, the first World Trade Center tower collapsed in
smoke and rubble.
46) There were reports of an explosion right before the tower fell, then a strange sucking sound,
and finally the sound of floors collapsing. Then came a huge surge of air, followed by a vast cloud of dirt, smoke, dust, paper and debris. Windows shattered. People screamed and dived for cover.
47) "I heard the largest, loudest collective scream I've ever heard," said Melissa Easton, who was
watching from the roof of her Chinatown apartment building about 20 blocks away.
48) Not long afterward, at 10:30 a.m., the second tower of the World Trade Center collapsed.
49) The top of the building exploded with smoke and dust. There were no flames, just an
explosion of debris, and then more vast clouds swept down to the streets. People were knocked to the ground on their faces as they ran from the building.
50) Hyman Brown, a University of Colorado civil engineering professor and the construction
manager for the World Trade Center, said that flames fueled by thousands of gallons of aviation fuel melted the towers' steel supports.
51) "This building would have stood had a plane or a force caused by a plane smashed into it," he
