Revision as of 14:21, 11 September 2001 by Pinkunicorn (talk | contribs)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)At about 9:00 local time, a plane crashed into the northern tower of the World Trade Center. About 18 minutes later, another plane (something like a 737) crashed into the southern tower of the building. About 10:00, one of the towers collapsed.
There have been reports that the planes were hijacked from American Airlines, starting from Boston.
Another crash has occured at the Pentagon and yet another at the State Department.
There were reports that the palestinian group DFLP (Democratic Liberation Front of Palestina) took responsibility for the crashes, but this was denied by a senior officer of the group soon after.
As a side effect, just about every news site on the Internet slowed down to unusability as everyone tried to find more information about the plane crashes.
