America Attacked by Terrorists; Manhattan in a State of Emergency

On the morning of September 11, 2001, America was attacked by terrorists.

According to reports from a number of mainstream media, two airplanes that had been hijacked crashed into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York City (CNN photos) at about nine o'clock this morning. The World Trade Center had previously been the target of another terrorist attack in 1993.

Before noon, the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center had collapsed one after the other. The casualties are thought to be heavy, but the numbers cannot be determined at this time. Telecommunications in certain major areas of New York City are down, electricity and water has been cut, and transportation has been seriously disrupted. Lower Manhattan as shown on television is a mass of smoke and debris.

Another hijacked airplane has crashed near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, resulting in 156 deaths.

It has further been reported that the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. has also been hit by another airplane in a similar attack. The government's main departments and workers in a number of major cities in America have all been evacuated. All airports are closed. All the media is focused on reporting on this incident.

We hereby express our outrage and condemnation towards this kind of evil terrorist activity that does such damage to humanity. The world needs sincerity, kindness, and peace. The world needs "Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance."
