Today around 8:45AM (Eastern time), a hijacked airline crashed right into one of New York's great landmark, the World Trade Center building. Around 9:03AM, another plane came toward the other twin tower, setting it on fire and leaving it very much damaged. Countless innocents were killed and injured. Several tens of people leaped from the top of the buildings as the fire burned its way through.

Observers say that the two hijacked planes rammed into the 80th through the 85th floor of the buildings. In about an hour, the two buildings crashed down to the ground.

At 9:43AM, another plane crashed at another landmark and important building at Washington DC, the Pentagon. Witnesses say that the jet landed too quickly and rammed only into one side of the building and caused a lot less damage than that at WTC.

    "Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended." -George Bush

Around 10:10, another plane crashes down, this time in a small town at Pennsylvania. Firefighters and Government Officials say that the plane disintegrated leaving no trace of survivors, luggage or any evidence of what happened. They say the mistaken crash was supposed to crash at Camp David instead.

    "I can't imagine any American pilot crashing an airplane into one of these buildings, even with a gun to the head. They wouldn't do that." -James Kallstrom

James Kallstrom, a retired FBI agent, said he believed the hijackers must have flown the planes into the buildings themselves. Over 300 people were killed in the plane crashes. Hatch added, "We're going to find out who did this and we're going after the *censored* (rhymes with mastered)."
