Is too awful. is so upsetting. condolences too all this awful thing has affected. could be WW3. Prsident Bush is going to want to kick someone's ass for this, can't say as I blame him. Why are there such awful things in the world. I'm sure they would never have got an airline pilot to have done their dirty work. I hope it was mercifully quick.

On Flight Explorer software U.S. carriers inbound from Europe can be seen diverting to Canadian airports. Continental U.S. airspace looks like a ghost town, few airliners, mostly civil aircraft still up. The airband is eerily quite on the scanner...
...the thin end thereof

I can hardly believe what I have just seen on the TV. This is without doubt the most audacious, horrific and tragic and evil terrorist act we have ever seen. It's clear that whoever did this planned and executed it exceptionally. I hope it's not the beginning of a new era of high profile international terrorism.
My thoughts to those on board the aircraft involved......how many people were on board? There could be hundreds dead so far I think four airliners have been hijacked and crashed.
I don't like Bush much but if I was him I would be determined to get the bastards that have done this. And rightly so.
The Mayor of New York Rudi Giuliani says 'a tremendous number of lives have been lost'. Apparently fighter jets have been deployed over NYC.
Latest says that the crash in Pittsburgh was a 747, not a 767, absolutely terrible.
My thoughts are with the families, of all affected.

The first aircraft to hit the Twin Towers is believed to be American Airlines flight 11, BOS-LAX, a B762.
A truly monumental and tragic day; the repercussions in the future do not bear contemplating.

AA 757 and 767 took out the trade towers
United a/c crashed south of pittsburgh
See AA press release at www.amrcorp.com
There is a nationwide ground stop in effect and all a/c in the air have been ordered to land at the nearest suitable.
Anything left flying to be intercepted and if necessary shot down.
RIP

From CNN:
"American Airlines Boeing 767 that had been hijacked after take-off from Boston. American Airlines told CNN that it lost two planes in "tragic accidents," one leaving Boston with 81 passengers and 11 crew aboard, and the second leaving Washington Dulles airport with 58 passengers and six crew aboard. Both planes were en route to Los Angeles"

Latest is that 2 AA and 1 United aircraft hijacked AA11 762 and United 737 into what was the world trade centre. Possible AA flown into the Pentagon or crashed near Pittsburg
Almost impossible to comprehend

Eboy - bad taste
Bloomberg reporting that an a/c with 200 pax has been hijacked on the ground, with explosives, at Cleveland. Some difficult decisions for Dubya.

My reactions to these terrible acts:-
1. I have been to my local church and prayed for peace in the world.
2. These acts are not terrorism but acts of war.
3. My prayers and thoughts are with all my fellow human beings in America - as an Englishmen I am with you in your time of grief and disbelief. As a pilot I mourn with and for all my comrades who have died in the course of their duties.
4. I wonder whether any of the IRA terrorists who have been released by the British government are involved, even indirectly, in these despicable acts.
5. What are the ramifications for all of us in the rest of the world and, in particular, the aviation industry? I cannot see the USA being a popular tourist destination for a while.
6. We are now involved in a fight for our basic freedoms and I, for one, would be happy to go to war to defend the freedoms enjoyed in our part of the world.
7. Finally, the biggest threat to the aviation industry comes from within - I wonder how long these terrorist groups have been "lying low" within the industry before committing these acts.

I only hope that the USA and doesn't implode with recriminations and aportioning blame to the civil aviation industry.
Lot of lessons to be learned here, I don't think civil aviation will ever be the same again.

Hard to believe that foreign nationals could breach security at IAD, EWR and BOS simultaneously. Makes me recall that the Oklahoma City bombing was initially blamed on foreign terrorists.
Also - it would be harder than one thinks to hit a building with a widebody - especially at high speed as the video shows. Obviously whoever did this had at least some flight experience.
Pray - and get prepared....
