Oh my God. I can't believe what I'm seeing. 3 plane attacks within an hour. My prayers to the innocent victims of this attack. And now they say the White House was given a credible threat of a terrorist attack this morning. What the hell is wrong with the world...

This morning two planes deliberately crashed into the world trade center. Turn on your TV's ladies and gents. You might want to see this.

Everything is wrong with the world, but I just heard the the South tower of the WTC has collapsed. As well the Pentagon has also been attacked. In addition all flights are grounded in the US.

Prayers going out to all those who are, or have loved ones, in these areas.

With all the horror on the news this morning, I thought you gals might like a little chuckle that I got on another list this morning.

Girl Power...
A little girl is in line to see Santa. When it's her turn, she climbs up on Santa's lap.
Santa asks, "What would you like Santa to bring you for Christmas?"
The little girl replies, "I want a Barbie and Xena."
Santa looks at the little girl for a moment and says, "I thought Barbie comes with Ken."
"No," said the little girl.
"She comes with Xena, she fakes it with Ken."

9/11/01 8:49am
Reports are still coming in about the pentagon and the state department and there are still more planes they say that have been hijacked. I'm glad you guys are okay. The WTC is completely
collapsed. Thousands it must be thousands that are gone.

Tori

There are still more hijacked planes in the air, but Fighter planes have been launched to try and take care of them. God, this is awful. My prayers go out.

Kim

9/11/01 8:52am
If anyone has friends or family in NYC and want me to try to contact anyone let me know. I'm on Long Island about 40 minutes from NYC and I'll do what I can. Phone service is out both land line and cell phone...And I almost set up a meeting with a client this morning in the city...

there was a plane that crashed close to around where i live but they are not sure yet if it has anything to do with all the shit going in NY

9/11/01 9:14
Joann??
Are you ok!!!? 16 of my friends work in those towers and I can't get
hold of any one of them.  I am going nuts!!!!!
G

9/11/01 9:15am
I'm fine. I'm near the WTC, saw the second plane go in. Am stunned. We're inside the building. It was pitch black outside for awhile, but we're starting to get light again. People are covered in soot and debris. We can smell smoke in the building, but are told to not go outside. Phones are down. Can't get to news websites. Just stunned. But fine.

Will write again in a bit.

Prayers and good wishes for those involved in this tragedy.

I share Deb and Georgina's concerns! Just saw it on the news :-(

9/11/01 9:22am
Oh, yeah! Don't be sorry to have brought this up - it seems fun and games for us AMericans - is over! And don't be surprised if this thing brings about a National Amergency, my friends. We have have sleeping with Xena and the tv progrmas, and the little chatrooms. This sort of thing is an everyday fact for E. Eur. and the Mid East and we've been lucky so far- or do you think NATO and the U.N. have been innocent little children? But now it's being brought home to us!

Yes, we've been asleep. Believe me this has been in the wings for us for a long time.

Some of you may call me a "Jonah" and dislike what I say, but I'm telling about what seems to be unfolding. Be prepared !

AND MAY I BE WRONG!
Allat

9/11/01 9:22am
OMG- I freaked as I watched th' news. Please, please- people from NY  and Pittsburg... let us know you're okay as soon as you can!!!
Praying continually,
Grace.

9/11/01 9:26am
Thanks Lisa,

Most family is in Mid town, just one family is down on 2nd street which is in the evacuations zone. Unfortunately they have a new born and the smoke is right over them. We have more family out on LI hopefully they can get out to them at some point.

Tori

9/11/01 9:26am
Thank God they are okay and I hope things for you and you're family work out and they get out of this unscathed.

Kim
Thanks Lisa, Most family is in Mid town,

9/11/01 9:29am
I'm totally shocked at this.
Everyone is in my thoughts. All of you that are concerned by this,
please take care.

Lucy

yeah. I'm praying and wishing and crossing fingers for 2hrs now.
Fly.

9/11/01 9:44am
My heart goes out to all with friends and family in the targeted areas. I feel numb and appalled that our world has come to this. I find myself thinking NO WAY! THIS IS AMERICA! But the reality is that in todays terrorist society no one, no country, no people are truly immune to this type of devestation. It terrifies me beyond words that my neices and nephews seem to be growing up in this type of reality and it breaks my heart. I hope not one person I know has to suffer the loss of a loved one to such a senseless cause as this and offer up my prayers to that effect. May God have mercy on the souls that feel that this was a necessary evil to make thier point with the destruction of innocent lives.

Peace.

Thanks Min,

Closer to home my sister is right now stuck in her law office because a women is shooting and taking hostages in the public library across the street. Things like this are not heard of here in little old Maine! What are people thinking?

Tori

9/11/01 9:48am
The Islamic Ge'had Movement because of the US policies in the Middle East.

I don't understand. In our arrogance we think we can police the world bull dog everyone into democracy(IMO) Now, this has happened. I know we wanted peace over there which is always good, but just because we wanted peace thousands are dead. Thousands. I'm going back to bed now to be close to catt. This is too close to home. I'm in Atlantic City. They have evacuated all Philly landmarks. I pray for you all in NYC.

Minerva

9/11/01 9:50am
-OH god Tori tell me you're kidding? I pray that she gets out of this. You hold on okay? Believe that things are gonna be okay.

Thanks Min,

You and me both my friend.  I have had word from a few of my friends who work in the towers and they are hurt but not too badly.  just cuts and bruises.  Still too many unaccounted for to relax yet but I am crossing everytning possble.  God knows how they got through but I thank anyone out there who is listening that they did.  i hope everyone over there is ok.  This is one sick mess.

lisa

9/11/01 10:14am
For those of us who are in danger or waiting to hear about friends and loved ones, you have my heartfelt prayers and thoughts. This is just to horrific for words. To kill innocent people for a 'cause'. My God, those ppl are crazy....

Tori, please believe your sister will be ok. I'm really sending prayers for her safety....God Bless.

Hello all!What angers me the most,is that poeple in Egypt claps there hands and swwms verry happy about it!Again how can someone be so evil to kill innocent poeple for vangence?Again my prayers are with poeple involved!
Annie

9/11/01 11:10am
Holly thanks so much for calling me. You have absolutely no idea how thankful I am that you are ok. As well as Rebecca, Tori and Betsy. Holly watched the towers get hit from the train. I can't even imagine that.  I'm having issues just watching CNN.  At minimum they said 7000 people were killed when the buildings went down.  Jesus.  Allat, I'm sadly in agreement with you. What scares me most is how easy it was for so many planes to be hijacked. This is just horrible.  Be careful all you NYC people. I'm thinking of you.

Di

9/11/01 11:25am
I'm sure everyone like me is shocked by the day's event's across America.
My heart goes out to the families and friends of people caught up in this.
And to all of the American Minion's as I am sure it has affected you all as well.

Take care all

Thanks Fran,

Just heard that the shooting/hostage situation locally is resolved and my sister is fine. Haven't been able to contact any family in NYC yet. Have heard from a friend who lost a family member (not sure if she was in a plane or in one of the towers) What a nightmare this day is.

Tori

9/11/01 11:41
I agree with you Allat ... I disagree heartily that we have no business sticking our nose in other peoples business. If Isreal and Palestine want to fight over a piece of dirt (or sand for that matter) LET THEM! What the American government has allowed to happen appalls me to no end. Have we already forgotten what has happen 5 years ago in the same PLACE!?! Even then NO meaures were taken to prevent this sort of act from happening again.  I've said this before to other people, and I will say it again ... When the smoke has lifted I will be all for us going to war and obliterating anyone involved.
You don't kill countless numbers of innocent people in MY country and get away with it. I am so very saddened and am praying for all those who have lost a loved one, and/or who is still waiting for word from their missing family and friends.  We, as America, have got to open our eyes and do
something about this now and prevent any future trageties from happening again ... because they will!
Sorry for sounding so angry (which I am) but all this chaos that's floating around is too difficult to comprehend.

In rememberance of those who lost their lives today.
A sad day for the world.

no matter where you are, everyone can help out in the time of need.  #1 is giving blood. there is going to be crucial need for the lifesource, and having plenty of national supply is necessary, especially those with rare types. it is still early folks, and with planes still accounted for, and bombs going off near state buildings, we don't know how big this thing really is. take care everyone, pray
(even if you're out of practice), keep in touch with each other, and remember...there but for the grace of god, go you or i. Jaden

9/11/01 11:58am
Glad to hear your sister is ok. My prayers to your friend on their loss. If you need help contacting people Tori write me privately and I'll do what I can. Phone service is getting better.
