Winston, can you see, are you on the north side there where the plane made contact?
Yes, I am.
there were the mid the plane made contact
But I'd say the huge, the hold is, let me just get a better look right now.
Okay, go ahead.
The, um, I'd say the hole takes about...
That's how six, seven floors were taken out, and there's more...
there's a lot about just a moment explosion inside
You know it's exploding right now, you got people running...
Okay.
I don't know what's going on.
Okay, just stop put Winston on pause there for just a moment
The building's exploding right now. You got people running up the street. I don't know what's going on.
Okay, just put Winston on pause there for just a moment.
I understand Teresa Renaud is with us right now.
Ms. Renaud, good morning.
Good morning, how are you?
This is Bryant Gumbel. I'm down on 59th and 5th. Where are you?
I am in Chelsea and we are at 8th and 16th.
We are the tallest building in the area and my window faces south so it looks directly
on to the World Trade Center and I would say approximately 10 minutes ago there was a major
explosion from
Probably, it looks like about the 80th floor, it looks like it's affected probably four
to eight floors.
Major flames are coming out of the, let's see, the north side and also the east side
of the building, yes.
You're over in Chelsea. Did you hear the explosion?
from your position?
Yes, we did.
As a matter of fact, we heard it and because I was just like standing there pretty much
looking out the window, I didn't see what caused it or if there was an impact.
So you have no idea
Oh, there's another one. Another plane just hit.
Oh, my gosh. Another plane has just hit another building.
Flew right into the middle of it. Explosion.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
As you look at the picture from our chopper now arriving at the scene, Jim
Friedel in Hoboken said it appeared to back sharply and smash directly perhaps
purposefully into oh my goodness there's another one oh my goodness there's
another one
seems to be on purpose.
Oh my goodness, now you, now it's obvious, I think, that there's a second plane just crashed into the World Trade Center.
I think we have a terrorist act of proportions that we cannot begin to imagine at this juncture.
Oh my God!
My goodness, a second plane now has crashed into the other tower of the World Trade Center.
Obviously, a suicide terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
Into oh my goodness
Thanks for watching!
And then, as we were watching the live picture here in the studio, we saw a plane crash into the other tower of the World Trade Center.
And again, let's just to be sure, there it is, the plane went right through the other tower of the World Trade Center.
That is a very hard thing to watch.
Just to be sure, there it is, there it is, the plane went right through the other
tower of the World Trade Center.
It is a very hard thing to watch.
To be sure that there is there it is the plan went right through
Grading down as they are trying to help people.
And you have to wonder, you hear Betrayt's number seven in trouble right now.
And then what does that lead to?
Have you seen any any evidence, Elliot, of people being taken out of the building?
You say that emergency vehicles are there, understandably so, but...
understandably so but of course the major concern is human loss I mean do
you know if there were many people in the building
Another one just hit. Something else just hit. A very large plane just flew directly over my building.
You open my building and there's been another collision.
Can you see it?
Yes.
I can see it on the shot.
You know what, we just saw a plane circling the building.
We just saw a plane circling the building.
No doubt, a lot of activity on the ground right now.
And in terms of the firefighting capabilities, when you get up to this high level,
I assume the firefighters have got to get up there and fight it from inside.
If you're taking a look now, you can see that we've just had another explosion,
and that is pretty low. And is that in the other building?
Is that what I'm witnessing?
Something that made it clear that the first plane wasn't an accident.
When it too is hijacked, this, the actual plane, as it hits the south tower of the World Trade Center.
8.10 a.m., American Flight 77, a 757 with 64 aboard, has taken off from Washington's Dulles Airport, also bound for Los Angeles.
It too, taken over, and loops back into the Pentagon. It slices in at an angle, leaving a deadly and ugly gash.
Two United Airlines flights were hijacked today and that the attack planes were the hijacked domestic flights
roughly 21 minutes later approximately 903 eastern time the second large jet
liner can be seen
uncertainty right now as to what is happening you can see there are choppers
I believe that could be a police helicopter that is oh wow we just saw my
goodness another another live picture right now
Oh my goodness, of what I believe was a plane!
