Hijackers rammed jetliners into each of New York's World Trade Center towers yesterday, toppling both in a hellish storm of ash, glass, smoke and leaping victims, while a third jetliner crashed into the Pentagon in Virginia. There was no official count, but President Bush said thousands had perished, and in the immediate aftermath the calamity was already being ranked the worst and most audacious terror attack in American history.

The attacks seemed carefully coordinated. The hijacked planes were all en route to California, and therefore gorged with fuel, and their departures were spaced within an hour and 40 minutes. The first, American Airlines Flight 11, a Boeing 767 out of Boston for Los Angeles, crashed into the north tower at 8:48 a.m. Eighteen minutes later, United Airlines Flight 175, also headed from Boston to Los Angeles, plowed into the south tower. Then an American Airlines Boeing 757, Flight 77, left Washington's Dulles International Airport bound for Los Angeles, but instead hit the western part of the Pentagon, the military headquarters where 24,000 people work, at 9:40 a.m. Finally, United Airlines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 flying from Newark to San Francisco, crashed near Pittsburgh, raising the possibility that its hijackers had failed in whatever their mission was.

This video is deeply disturbing. It is a real time record of the events observed from a nearby family.

ISIS Attack 2016: Bombing Expected On September 11?

According to Heavy, the White House’s top counterterrorism http://www.morningnewsusa.com/obama-administration-created-isis-read-nancy-pelosis-leaked-report-23101756.html" rel="nofollow - official , Counterterrorism Center chief Nick Rasmussen’ s answer is “yes.” The threat U.S. and its European allies is ‘bigger, wider and deeper’ than at any point since 9/11.

Just recently major European cities as well cities in the US have been the targets of terrorist attacks. However unlike the attack on the World Trade Center it will likely be carried out by homegrown terrorists. The same type of terrorists that carried out the http://www.morningnewsusa.com/syria-news-russia-killed-civilians-isis-2399537.html" rel="nofollow - San Bernardino shootings .

comment: As with so many anniversaries of attacks it would be highly unlikely for there to be an attack on 9-11. This would be the day security is the highest and even though we are in the midst of Hajj. Yet, with the situation as it is in the world, we are probably in more danger than we have been in 16 years - and no doubt something will happen of this scale - despite all the efforts and work to protect us - not if - but when.
