                                 -America under Attack-

Here are some of the up-to-date figures current as of this moment.

Today in history is being compared to that of Pearl Harbor and the JFK
assassination in the magnitude of national carnage.

                             From online news organizations:

· Planes hit the World Trade Center in New York City. Both towers collapsed.
· A plane hit the Pentagon, part of which collapsed.
· "American Airlines told CNN that it lost two planes in "tragic accidents:"
Flight 11 from Boston with 81 passengers and 11 crew aboard and Flight 77
from Washington Dulles airport with 58 passengers and six crew aboard. Both
planes were en route to Los Angeles." CNN
· A United Airlines flight from Newark, NJ to San Francisco crashed near
Somerset, Pennsylvania.
· All flights have been grounded for the first time ever.
· Government buildings are being evacuated.

                                   Current assessment:

· Cell phones still aren't working.
· There are still lines for public pay phones.
· If you reach a loved one in the area, don't assume the worst. It's VERY
hard to contact people right now.
· People on the streets are not panicking. They're handling this tough time
very admirably.
· People who live outside Manhattan are having a hard time leaving the City
because the tunnels and bridges were closed earlier.

Present bush is currently residing at an Air Force base and is deliberating
between returning to the White House (despite warnings from the Secret
Service) or heading to the NORAD command post in Colorado.

*****************************
But I just have ONE question…
Wasn’t their 8 Commercial Plaines hijacked early today?!?
(2 hit the WTC, 1 hit the pentagon, one crashed on-route to the Pentagon, 4
more unaccounted for?)
4 unaccounted for Commercial Plaines?


                           Let up pray for the survivors.

         Sincerely,

                       --==RiçhärÐ==--

(...) Actually, there are estimated as many as 50,000 dead. This is probably the highest figure.
