American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to LA was the 1st plane, and Flight 77 from Dulles to LA was the 2nd plane I believe, at least that's what I heard. A 3rd explosion has caused the South Tower of the World Trade Center to collapse onto the city below.
And entire side of the Pentagon has been blackened and is partially collapsed from fire and the plane collission.
ALL planes have been grounded nationwide. The US Air Force is enforcing a NO-FLY Zone over New York City, with fully armed F/A-18s and F-15s. ALl major government buildings nationwide are being evacuated. The Sears Tower in Chicago has been evacuated.

It has been reported that the report of the Capitol Building being hit are FALSE. Only the Pentagon has been hit.

The 2nd Tower of the World Trade Center just collapsed 1 minute ago...the roof came down and suddenly the rest of the building went with it. The entire island of New York City is covered with dust and smoke. There are no longer any visible towers over the New York skyline...
Wake me up now...

Current reports are that a NEW plane has been hijacked and is about 15 minutes out of D.C. and heading in that direction.
Also, another report says a 747 has gone down in Pennsylvania.
All international flights are being diverted to Canada.

Well, here in the UK the Stock Market has been closed, and London flights diverted. Nothing yet to confirm that, or why they're doing it (apart from basic precautions). It's very difficult to tell here what's happening, and we wish we could find out - one of my best friends here at work, her brother-in-law works at the Pentagon.

Report is that the U.S. Air Force has scrambled fighters to attack another hijacked plane heading toward D.C.
