of the second tower. in fact, we are looking at pictures right now, jennifer, with a huge gaping hole on the side of the building and billowing smoke. right now, i think i see major fire. i definitely see fire. jennifer, you said you are looking north of the building. so in other words you are south of the building, is that right? correct. because by are looking at a picture that is looking at the north side of the building. i m on the exact opposite side. it appears that is where the largest hole is. again as you mention correctly toward the top of the building but on the north side. then on the, what i think is the west side of the building we can also see some holes there that could have been from damage once the impact occurred. again, we have been told that this is a plane, we don t have confirmation on that but there is an enormous hole in the north side of that building. jennifer, can you tell us a little bit plor about what you heard when you heard this explos
the plane hit the empire state building in the 60s. the helicopters crash of what was the pan am building, now the metlife building. we are getting information it was a small commuter plane and we will let people know as soon as we have more information as to what caused this and of course on everybody s mind, who might have been hurt. as a result of this terrible, terrible incident. we are going to be talking to more eyewitnesss, coming up. in just a few minutes. oh, another one just hit. something else just hit, a very large plane just flew directly over my building. d but you do it anyway? that s me with the blow dryer and the flat iron until i see smoke. so pantene said, breakage and split ends? no problem. they gave me this pantene called breakage to strength. [ female announcer ] the keratin protection pro-v system helps prevent then repair split ends. zero fear of breakage 100% more strength. no regrets, just health. i m not
manhattan, a few moments ago, a plane, reports are a small commuter plane, crashed into the supper floors of one of the twin towers. you can see flames and smoke billowing from that tower. there is a gaping hole on the south side, that s the left-hand side of your screen right now, and other damage to the west side of that building, which is to the right side of your screen. this, of course, happened just before the morning commute. before people were heading into their offices. while i m sure while some people were already at work, immediately there is speculation or cause for concern, this is the world trade center that was at the center of a terrorist bombing some years ago. some have to ask, is this purely an accident or an intentional act. either way, extensive damage has been done to this building. it also looks like smoke out of the east side of the building. that shot we just saw. looks like smoke billowing out of the east side. commuters were absolutely devastated when the
it s completely impossible to understand why this is happening and to figure out what the what in the world is going on? it is now after 9 a.m. i just wonder how many people were in those offices. well, hopefully they were evacuated following the first incident and we can only hope that it was a very short period of time from when we first learn bed this, was probably 8:50 eastern time. this second incident occurred about 9:05. obviously that would be a short amount of time to get people out of the building. another witness is on the ground, ole, can you hear me? caller: yes, hello. please tell me what you are seeing. caller: well, i live in lower manhattan, and right now there is a lot of chaos on the ground.
how where i was on the street a moment ago, you can see smoke leaving the building on three sides. it seems to be coming out on at least four or five floors, the is filled with hundreds of thousands of pieces of paper that are just sort of floating like confetti. the area is swarmed with emergency vehicles. and sirens. have you seen caller: obviously we are sensitive to this kind of thing in this neighborhood. of course, because of the incident that occurred in the early 1909s. have you seen any evidence, elliott, of people being taken out of the building? are you saying that emergency vehicles are there, understandably so, but of course the major concern is that the loss, do you know if there were many people in the building? caller: oh, another one just hit. another one hit. another large plane flew directly over my building and there is another collision. can you see it. yes.
