ABC is reporting that there was not a car bomb at the State Department after all.

The BBC is now reporting that F-16s have been sent to intercept a hijacked plane that is headed for Washington, DC. This must be the plane mentioned earlier. The plane from Pittsburgh that crashed in Somerset County is not the plane that is being intercepted. The BBC is reporting that the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania was a 767, not a 747.

According to a correspondent in Greece, I hear the following (none of this have I confirmed myself):

• The first plane was a 747 from American Airlines (capacity 158). (This doesn’t sound quite right, 747s hold more than that. Perhaps this plane was a 737 or 767.)
• The second plane was a 767 from United Airlines. (The BBC is reporting that the UA plane is a 737B.)
• The plane that hit the Pentagon was a small passenger plane.

Another 747 out of Pittsburgh was hijacked, tailed by U.S. fighters, and crashed at Somerset County Airport in Pennsylvania. This may be the plane that I mentioned earlier as being hijacked. (Some are reporting that this plane was shot down.)

Both towers of the WTC have now collapsed. No idea whether this was due to further explosions or loss of structural integrity caused by the original explosions.

The 911 control center for New York City is (was?) in the World Trade Center. Needless to say, it’s down.

Yet another plane has been hijacked and is reportedly headed toward Washington DC. All international flights approaching the U.S. have been diverted to Canada. Congressmen have been evacuated to an underground bunker. I’ve heard many comparisons to Pearl Harbor at this point. Explain to me again why we pump all that money into the NSA and CIA? How did we have no idea that this was coming?

A car bomb has exploded outside the State Department.

I’ve now heard from a number of sources that the second tower collapsed completely after it was hit by a third plane (the second to hit that tower in particular). This was just a rumor, there was no third plane to hit the WTC.

I’m finding it hard to get to online news sites. You can get a live audio stream from the BBC World Service at Yahoo Broadcast, that’s what I’m listening to.
