We dont know yet what the exact numbers are, but we can only tell you that by looking at the pictures you can guess as well as we can that there are a lot of people who are not able to escape. >> back in 1993 when the bomb blew up in the basement of the world trade center, so many survivors talked about how long it took them with no power in the elevators to walk down the smoke-filled stairways. you think of how many were trying to escape the buildings when the first one, and the second one coll...

For those who managed to make it safely out of that area down below us. you cant see much more than a block south of me right now. and the world trade center probably stands about ten blocks south of where i am at this moment. as you can see now, the dust is beginning to pick up here. it really depends upon which way the wind blows as to whether or not we get heavy dust or not. but at this point, i can tell you that in the first few minutes, emergency workers were trying just basically to get ou...

Too gruesome to show in full. at least 107 people were killed, more than 200 injured, saudi authorities say. men in bloodied robes, stunned simply to have survived. the mosque is surrounded by giant construction cranes. a powerful storm apparently caused the collapse. mecca had been hit by high winds and heavy rain. a view from above shows the base of a huge crane toppled. emergency workers flooding the area carrying away the dead. they died on a holy day in a holy place, one believer said on tw...

This at a time when, as jim is telling us, there is an unconfirmed report that there is another hijacking, and all takeoffs were stopped, but there were planes in the air obviously at the time of the first two attacks on the twin trade towers and then on the pentagon. >> lets look at the live pictures at the world trade center and the other tower of the world trade center has just collapsed. you are looking at live pictures of the second twin tower at the world trade center collapsing as a resul...
