All the news sites are running slow - must be bandwidth problems (you're not the only one, Asa!)
CNN say the Pentagon has now been struck by a plane too... I have to go to my media lesson now - I'll be home at 4! bye!

SHOTS OF PENTAGON COMING FROM HAYES-ADAMS HOTEL
CNN coverage is laughable with the trival commentary. 'Before we turn the page let's recap the story so far'
Wonder what George W's reaction to this is gonna be!
Sorry, full story:
Planes hit World Trade Centre in suspected terror attack
Staff and agencies
Tuesday September 11, 2001
At least six people were reportedly killed today when two planes crashed into the World Trade Centre tower in the heart of New York's financial district in what is suspected to be a terrorist attack.
It is thought that the aircraft were passenger planes.
It has been reported that the FBI was investigating reports of the hijack of a passenger plane before the crashes.
The first aircraft crashed into one of the towers shortly before 9am (2pm BST).
Smoke billowed out of a gaping hole in the 110-storey tower, which was damaged on at least two sides.
Just 18 minutes after the initial explosion there was a second blast as another plane hit the other tower. Flames shot out of the side of the building and debris rained down.
A witness to the first explosion, Jeanne Yurman, said she heard a sonic boom then looked out of her window to see an explosion.
'I looked out and the side of the World Trade Centre exploded as I looked up. Debris started sailing down, I couldn't believe what was happening,' she said.
Quote:
Unconfirmed reports say a third plane has been hijacked.
The Pentagon is also bellowing out smoke. This important Govt. building along with the White House have been evacuated.

Come to think of it, doesn't this topic belong in The Lounge? It's news related, not TV related! (although Crossroads part 2 was pulled! LOL)
Hmmmmm.....if Fox News is supposedly Sky News' sister channel then how come that the feed which BBC N24 is carrying from Fox News is about 1.5 seconds in front of Sky's feed ??!!!!
