Military jets are now airborne over New York and Washington and possibly other cities with orders to shoot down any planes in the air. The airspace over all American cities is closed to air activity at this time.

As of 12:15 EST, we have reports that Los Angeles International Airport is being evacuated. All incoming international flights into the United States have been diverted to Canada. Whether or not these flights have obeyed the diversion has not been announced by the FAA. US airbases are on high alert on the West Coast, and we now have reports that any aircraft that enter US airspace without authorization will be shot down.

Please be aware that these are unconfirmed reports as of 12:15, and we are attempting to update them on a moment to moment basis.read more

As of 3:00PM EST there is no evidence that a fast-spreading fire is going to occur in lower Manhattan, however there continues to be concern that other buildings in the area may collapse. A debris mass five stories high, still burning, is all that remains of the World Trade Center. At least a dozen people jumped from the upper floors of the World Trade Center before the buildings collapsed. More than two hundred New York City firemen and other emergency service personnel are unaccounted for, in addition to an unknown number of civilians.

Due to the adverse situation in the area of the World Trade Center, an organized rescue effort cannot yet be mounted. Casualties are expected to be high.
