The flight was bound from Boston to Los Angeles. Officials evacuated all federal buildings in Washington, creating a late-morning downtown scene of chaos E-Mail This Article and gridlock. Lower Manhattan Printer-Friendly Version became a devastating scene of smoke, dust and sobbing, terrified people. All four airliners involved were starting cross-country flights, and therefore were loaded with fuel when they crashed: * American Airlines Flight 77 from Dulles to Los Angeles -- a Boeing 757 with 58 passengers, four flight attendants and two pilots -- crashed next to the Pentagon, setting the building ablaze. * American Airlines Flight 11 -- a Boeing 767 bound from Boston to Los Angeles, with 81 passengers, nine flight attendants and two pilots -- crashed into the World Trade Center. * United Airlines Flight 175 -- a Boeing 767 bound from Boston to Los Angeles, with 56 passengers, two pilots and seven flight attendants -- also crashed into the World Trade Center. * United Flight 93 -- bound from Newark to San Francisco with 38 passengers, two pilots and five flight attendants -- crashed in western Pennsylvania just north of the Somerset County Airport, near Jennerstown. U.S. Rep. James Moran (D-Va.) said after a Marine Corps briefing in Washington that the flight apparently was intended for Camp David, the presidential retreat in the mountains of Maryland, AP reported. The crash site was 85 miles northwest of Camp David. President Bush, who was in Florida when the attacks began in lower Manhattan, was temporarily flown to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana. From there he announced that the U.S. military was on “high-alert status,” adding: “Freedom itself was attacked this morning and I assure you freedom will be defended. Make no mistake. The United States will hunt down and pursue those responsible for these cowardly actions.” Air Force One landed in the afternoon near Omaha, Neb., at Offutt Air Force Base, headquarters of the Strategic Air Command. “The president wants to return to Washington as quickly as possible,” White House spokesman Scott McClellan said. “He arrived in Nebraska as a security precaution. He will convene a meeting of the National Security Council via teleconference from the Air Force Base.” McClellan said at about 3 p.m. that Bush had talked several times to Vice President Cheney, and to First Lady Laura Bush, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, New York Mayor Giuliani, New York Gov. George E. Pataki (R) and Sen. Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) Kenneth Katzman, a terrorism expert at the Congressional Research Service, said the devastating attacks represented an intelligence failure of “catastrophic proportions.” “How nothing could have been picked up is beyond me—way beyond me,” Katzman told the Post. “There’s a major, major intelligence failure, specially since

http://a188.g.akamaitech.net/f/188/920/1m/www.wa...npost.com/wp-srv/nation/articles/trade091101.htm (2 von 4) [11.09.2001 23:47:45] Washington, New York Rocked by Apparent Terrorist Attacks (washingtonpost.com) the [previous] Trade Center bombing produced such an investigation of the networks and so much monitoring.” CIA spokesman Mark Mansfield responded that “the CIA has worked diligently and relentlessly to counter terrorism. Our resources are being devoted to determing who was repsonsible for these horrendous attacks, and it doesn’t serve any useful purpose to respond to such criticism.” The number of people killed in Manhattan was not immediately known, but officials feared devastating casualty counts from the collapse of the twin 110-story towers. About 50,000 people normally work there, but many had not arrived by 8:50 a.m. EDT when the first plane crashed. Workers began evacuating, but the second tower was hit about 18 minutes later. A short time later the first tower, and then the second, crumbled into horrific heaps of smoke and dust as Americans watched incredulously on television. New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said he feared “a horrendous number” of people were killed. At about 9:30 a.m., the American Airlines plane from Dulles crashed near the Pentagon, which burst into flames. A portion of one side of the five-sided structure collapsed. Secondary explosions were reported in the aftermath of the attack and great billows of smoke drifted skyward toward the Potomac River. Authorities immediately began deploying troops, including a regiment of light infantry. Before leaving Florida, Bush pledged to use “the full resources of the federal government to help the victims and their families” and “to hunt down and find those folks who committed these acts.” “This is the second Pearl Harbor. I don’t think that I overstate it,” said Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.). Although officials had no direct information this morning linking him to the attacks, fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden is automatically considered the leading suspect behind the bombings, a senior government official said. The federal government shut down national landmarks across the country, including the Washington Monument, the Statue of Liberty and the St. Louis Gateway Arch, according to the National Park Service. The FBI deployed all personnel under the assumption that the United States had suffered a coordinated terrorist attack. All FBI offices were put on full alert, and offices near the outside windows of the J. Edgar Hoover Building in downtown Washington were evacuated. All personnel moved to interior locations safer from the effects of an outside attack. The Associated Press reported anguished responses by people throughout the nation: * “The fact is that there is a level of sophistication and coordination that no counter-terrorism expert had ever previously anticipated, and we don’t have a group that we can immediately identify that has this kind of capability.” — Anthony Cordesman, a terrorism expert from the Washington-based Center for Strategic and International Studies. * “All of a sudden there were people screaming. I saw people jumping out of the building. Their arms were flailing. I stopped taking pictures and started crying.” — Michael Walters, a freelance photo journalist in Manhattan. * “This is perhaps the most audacious terrorist attack that’s ever taken place in the world. It takes a logistics operation from the terror group involved that is second to none. Only a very small handful of terror groups is on that list.” — Chris Yates, an aviation expert at Jane’s Transport magazine. * “I just saw my two towers fall. I’m devastated beyond belief. In many respects this is significantly worse than Pearl Harbor, and we don’t know who the enemy is.” — Lewis Eisenberg, chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, which operates the World Trade Center. * “I just can’t believe what’s happened. God, my heart goes out to all of these people, believe me. I just hope there is justice.” — Martha Ridley, whose daughter http://a188.g.akamaitech.net/f/188/920/1m/www.wa...npost.com/wp-srv/nation/articles/trade091101.htm (3 von 4) [11.09.2001 23:47:45] Washington, New York Rocked by Apparent Terrorist Attacks (washingtonpost.com) died in the April 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. © 2001 The Washington Post Company

The second-graders read so well that Bush said, “Really good readers! Whoo! This must be sixth-graders.” Bush asked his standard question about whether any of the children read more than they watch television, and was pleased to hear that some do. Their reading included the phrase “more to come.” Bush asked, “What does that mean, ‘More to come’‚?” One of the pupils said, “Something else is going to happen.” Bush said, “That’s exactly right.” As he consulted advisers and prepared his statement, the larger audience of pupils in the media center stood calmly. As word spread about what had happened, teachers patted each other’s shoulders.

It was dark when he started. He ran with a reporter, Richard Keil of Bloomberg News, and both were sopping wet after keeping a 7 minute 20 second pace. A Secret Service agent ran with them, and they were trailed by three golf carts—a reminder of the extraordinary apparatus that follows the president even at an ordinary moment. The small, rotating pool of reporters that travels with Bush boarded Air Force One. The bulk of the press corps remained behind at a transmission center, the press charter grounded along with the rest of the nation’s air traffic. © 2001 The Washington Post Company

That number is 1-877-663-6772. building," apparently on the first or second floors. Around 11:05 a.m. a wave of emergency medical technicians descended on the Pentagon in an effort to aid the injured. Triage stations were set up on the lawn outside the damaged area. Craig Quigley, deputy assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, said at an afternoon news conference that Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld was in his office at the time of the crash. Rumsfeld ran to the site and helped with those who were injured, Quigley said, then went to the command center at the interior of the building. "Fire was intense and only recently have Arlington search and rescue been able to get inside the Pentagon," he said. Fires are still burning and "it appeared as if a plane intentionally flew into the building," Quigley said. He said there were no numbers on casualties. Ten patients were brought to Inova Alexandria Hospital suffering from injuries ranging from burns to head lacerations, according to Kathleen Barry, chief nurse executive. By 1 p.m., two had been discharged, seven were in stable condition and one was in critical condition suffering from smoke inhalation. Virginia Hospital Center in Arlington reported treating 30 patients, eight of whom were in critical condition, according to a spokeswoman. She said the hospital had set up a command center to help families locate relatives who may have been victims. Georgetown University Hospital reported one serious injury. Washington Hospital Center is treating seven burn victims, officials reported. Earlier reports of other explosions in the Washington region, at the State Department and the Capitol, were not accurate, law enforcement officials said. In reaction to the attacks, the U.S. Navy's Atlantic fleet sent warships to bolster the air defenses of Washington and New York City. It also has sent U.S. Marines and medical personnel to both cities to lend support. Virginia Gov. James Gilmore (R) activated National Guard members for rescue duty and ordered special search and rescue teams and state police to the Pentagon attack site. The governor also closed state government offices that share space with federal agencies, and declared a state of emergency that generally applies to rescue and transportation agencies that would typically respond to hurricanes and other national disasters. At least four state and federal facilities in Maryland appeared on a list of possible targets that was forwarded to Maryland Gov. Parris N. Glendening at noon. The landmark 213-year-old Maryland State House, the National Security Agency, Fort Meade and the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis were all locked down after they appeared on the list, which was sent to the governor by a federal intelligence agency that he would not name. A state of emergency was declared in the District of Columbia. Steve Patterson, 43, said he was watching television reports of the World Trade Center being hit when he saw a silver commuter jet fly past the window of his 14th-floor apartment in Pentagon City. The plane was about 150 yards away, approaching from the west about 20 feet off the ground, Patterson said. He said the plane, which sounded like the high-pitched squeal of a fighter jet, flew over Arlington cemetery so low that he thought it was going to land on I-395. He said it was flying so fast that he couldn't read any writing on the side.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/daily/sep01/attack.html (2 von 6) [11.09.2001 23:48:04] washingtonpost.com The plane, which appeared to hold about eight to 12 people, headed straight for the Pentagon but was flying as if coming in for a landing on a nonexistent runway, Patterson said. "At first I thought 'Oh my God, there's a plane truly misrouted from National,'" Patterson said. "Then this thing just became part of the Pentagon ... I was watching the World Trade Center go and then this. It was like Oh my God, what's next?" He said the plane, which approached the Pentagon below treetop level, seemed to be flying normally for a plane coming in for a landing other than going very fast for being so low. Then, he said, he saw the Pentagon "envelope" the plane and bright orange flames shoot out the back of the building. "It looked like a normal landing, as if someone knew exactly what they were doing," said Patterson, a graphics artist who works at home. "This looked intentional." Air Force Lt. Col. Marc Abshire, 40, a speechwriter for Air Force Secretary James Roche, was working in his office this morning when he felt the blast of the explosion at the Pentagon. His office is on the D ring, near the eighth corridor, he said. "It shot me back in my chair. There was a huge blast. I could feel the air shock wave of it," Abshire said. "I didn't know exactly what it was. It didn't rumble. It was more of a direct smack. I said, 'This isn't right. Something's wrong here.'" "We all went out in the hallway. People were yelling 'Evacuate! Evacuate!' And we found ourselves on the lawn and looking back on our building. It was very much a surrealistic sort of experience. It's just definitely not right to see smoke coming out of the Pentagon. It was a very strange sight to see." Rebecca Lovelace was in the Pentagon Metro station when the plane crashed. A number of passengers panicked and ran out of the station, jumping over the turnstiles, she said. Lovelace boarded a Yellow Line train headed to the District and as it came out of the tunnel, she could see a massive cloud of smoke billowing up from the Pentagon. "The train made no announcements about the attack we had just escaped from," she said. "When it was time to departthe driver kept to his routine reminding us all to have a great day." At about 9:20 a.m., Lt. Col. Art Haubold, a public affairs officer with air force, was in his office on the opposite side of the complex when the plane struck. "We were sitting there watching the reports on the World Trade Center. All of a sudden, the windows blew in," he said. "We could see a fireball out our window." Shortly after, uniformed military personnel and civilian workers were streaming away from the building, holding briefcases and attaches. Two women, one crying, were holding hands. Many were talking on cell phones and many more were trying to get an open line on them. Police officers in full battle gear, their fingers resting outside the trigger guards of semi automatic weapons, paced the perimeter of the south parking lot. One federal officer, a camera around his neck, clutched a fistful of film. Rumors swirled about other attacks on the Capitol and other federal buildings. Police officers in unmarked white cars and SUVs raced back and forth along the perimeter of the south parking lot, as a blue and white US Park Police chopper hovered overhead. Staff Sgt. Nelson Ayres, who works in communications security, said he was called back on duty after his 8:30 a.m. shift ended. Assigned to communications security, he was assigned to secure classified documents in his area. "I grabbed a stretcher. I thought I'd help out," he said as he was standing along a retaining wall. At about 10:30 a.m., a crowd of at least a dozen people bolted across the south parking lot away form the building.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/daily/sep01/attack.html (3 von 6) [11.09.2001 23:48:04] washingtonpost.com "There's another plane incoming," someone yelled. Police and security officers began to clear the area, ordering everyone to move through a concrete underpass under a nearby access road The crash at the Pentagon, which occurred less than an hour after the New York attacks, triggered immediate security steps in the Washington area, including evacuation of the State Department, the Capitol building and the West Wing of the White House. The nine top leaders of the House and Senate were taken into federal protection, according to the U.S. Capitol Police. Vice-President Dick Cheney and first lady Laura Bush, both of whom were in Washington, were taken to a secure, undisclosed location, AP reported. The Federal Aviation Administration shut down the air traffic system nationwide for the first time ever. It is to stay closed until at least noon tomorrow. D.C. Chief of Police Charles H. Ramsey declared emergency status for all officers. Police ordered that all suspicious vehicles be spot-checked and all police facilities were shut down and made accessible only to those with proper identification. District of Columbia government shut down and ordered nonessential personnel to leave, and many private firms closed and sent employees streaming home, jamming the subway and roads. Later in the day, the General Services Administration said it is allowing any of the 8,300 federal office buildings that it controls around the country to close. The action was not the result of threats, but a way to be cautious after attacks that occurred earlier in the day, agency officials said. The federal government closed all of its facilities around Washington at 10:30 a.m. and told the region's 340,000 federal employees they could leave at their discretion. At Tysons Corner, one of the region's largest job centers, office buildings were evacuated before noon, creating a massive traffic jam on Route 7 and nearby streets. Within an hour of the New York explosions, the federal government took the additional step of shutting down national landmarks across the country, including the Washington Monument, the Statue of Liberty and the St. Louis Gateway Arch, among other locations, according to the National Park Service. The Metro system remained open except for the Pentagon stop. Metro shut down the Pentagon station just after the explosion at 9:45 a.m. It is unclear if the station was damaged, spokesman Ray Feldmann said. Outbound trains are being turned around at Arlington Cemetery on the Blue Line and at L'Enfant Plaza on the Yellow Line and Metro officials were scrambling to put together a "bus bridge" to ferry riders around the Pentagon station. Bus service at the Pentagon, one of the biggest transfer points in the region, was halted, Feldmann said. Police closed I-395 northbound at the Pentagon. In the District, Constitution and Independence Avenues around the Mall have been shut down. By 10 a.m., traffic heading into the District was jammed on all major thoroughfares and across all bridges, said Connie Niebuhr of Smartraveler, the telephone traffic information service. "This thing hit right in the middle of the rush, and now everything's jammed," she said. Traffic from the city to the suburbs began building at the same time, as federal workers were released from work and began heading home, she said. At the Pentagon, employees had heard about or seen footage of the World Trade Centre attack when they felt their own building shake. Ervin Brown, who works at the Pentagon, said he saw pieces of what appeared to be small aircraft on the ground, and the part of the building by the heliport had collapsed. "We heard what sounded like a missile, then we heard a loud boom," said Tom Seibert, 33, of Woodbridge, Va., a network engineer at the Pentagon. "We just hit the dirt. We dived instinctively. "We were sitting there and watching this thing in New York, and I said, 'you know, the next best target would be us. And five minutes later, boom.'" A 38-year-old Marine major who asked to remain anonymous said he and dozens of

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/daily/sep01/attack.html (4 von 6) [11.09.2001 23:48:04] washingtonpost.com his colleagues rushed to the area in the Pentagon that appeared most heavily damaged -- the B ring between the 4th and 5th corridors. "From two-star army generals to marine officers to navy medics .‚.‚. everybody helped," he said. He said he was part of a make-shift rescue crew that tried to pulled out a civilian who was pinned by fallen pipes and other debris. As the hot, thick, black smoke built up, the men passed wet t-shirts to one another and removed debris piece-by-piece in assembly-line fashion. "It took 30 men, 30 minutes to get just that one guy to the door 15 feet away," he said, adding that the man was cut and bruised but not seriously injured. The major said that hundreds of people worked in the B-ring area and that it was "decimated...that heat and fire, it could eat you alive in three seconds." John Damoose, a Travis City, Mich. native who was in a meeting said "everybody got nervous.... We didn't know whether to stay inside or go outside. The thing with terrorist attacks is that you don't know what is the next thing that will happen." Damoose said the worst part was leaving the Pentagon and walking along Fort Meyer Drive, a bike trail, "you could see pieces of the plane." Rick Watson, 30, of Lake Ridge, Va., another network engineer, felt as if he were reliving the California earthquake that struck during the World Series several years ago. "My first instinct was to jump under the desk," he said. Officials and employees said evacuation was orderly and calm. "There wasn't any crying and everybody was just making sure others were okay," said Navy commander Dawn Maskell. "When the guy said it was time to evacuate, we already knew about the World Trade Center, and so we secured classified documents and got out of the building. Our first concerns were safety and equipment," she said. "We were out in three minutes." The scene outside shocked many. "The scary sight was when we first walked outside the building and saw the big smoke," said Watson. "That literally made my knees buckle." Navy Lt. Matt Murphy was in the basement at the time. He was out of the building within a minute, he said. "A determined enemy can hit you," said Murphy, choking up with emotion as he spoke. "It's just a matter of determining how you do when you're hit. Being able to hit this many targets in a seemingly effective way is the stunning part to me." Navy Capt. Charles Fowler, assigned to the Joint Chiefs, was working on a speech for Gen. Henry Shelton, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs, when he heard the explosion. "You could feel the building shake," said Fowler. You knew it was a major explosion. I grabbed all my gear and grabbed the laptop and headed out." "The interesting part was we didn't hear the alarm go off, but word got around very fast. It was an orderly evacuation" Fowler's office, on the river side, appeared to be on the opposite side from the explosion, he said. "Tons of smoke was coming up from the wedge-lots of black and gray smoke." Officials shut down the Virginia State Capitol building shortly after 10 a.m. this morning, locking all doors, with only key personnel inside. "The building is shut down," said a Capitol Police officer as he locked one door. Dozens of office workers gathered on the rooftops of their office buildings in Georgetown, staring across the river into Virginia where a huge cloud of smoke billowed from the Pentagon. Some held their heads in disbelief; others stared ahead

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/metro/daily/sep01/attack.html (5 von 6) [11.09.2001 23:48:04] washingtonpost.com stonily. In Farragut Square, dozens of office workers milled in a park that normally would be left to unemployed and homeless spending the day on benches. "It's scary," said Anthony Riker, 23, an employee at a non-profit with offices next to the New Executive Office Building. Added co-worker, Ruben Duboin, 25, "It's something we always joke about, being right close to the White House, but this is scary." "I'm getting my kids out of school," said a shaken Paula Williams, who was standing at the corner of L Street and Connecticut Ave. NW about 10:10 am. She said she had been evacuated from her offices on K Street NW. "We were just told to get outta the building," said Steve Neugeboren who works for the Environmental Protection Agency. He was in his office when he heard someone in the hallway telling employees to leave around 10:30 a.m. "I'm scared." He was one of about 15 people clustered around a van at 15th and M Streets that had its radio on so people could hear what was happening. Tom Marshall, also of the EPA said he heard others saying "business as usual" but he left as Neugeboren, of Bethesda, dragged him out of the office. Marshall called his wife on her cell phone to meet her at the street corner. Marshall and his wife, Mary O'Lone, who works at the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights, live in the District and were going to walk home. O'Lone's office is at 14th and New York. She was told to leave immediately this morning because her office is too close to the White House. Streets at 10:30 were clogged with cars, sidewalks were crowded with people on cell phones trying to get in touch with family and friends. "Okay, I'm at 16th Street now, near Dupont," said one woman into her phone. "I'm worried about friends and family in New York," said Marshall.

She screamed, "My niece works in 7 World Trade Center. I'm trying to get in touch with someone. Oh God, oh God." Black and gray clouds enveloped the buildings. An enormous rumble, described by one witness as sounding like thunder, only lasting longer, shook the ground. One of the buildings began to collapse. A few moments later, witnesses said, the top of the tower simply was not there. Viewed from several miles away on the Long Island Expressway, where traffic came to a stop, the blackened towers looked to one witness like smokestacks, or burning cigarettes. On the ground, well-heeled and casually dressed workers alike streamed north, away from the towers and the financial district. Many gasped and cried. Eyes burning, nostrils sometimes burning and sinuses filled with phlegm, some plunged their heads into city fountains. Dave Kansas, at home in his Broadway apartment, heard the first jetliner crash into one of the towers and ran to see. He arrived just in time to watch the second plane hit, and a fireball of igniting jet fuel billow out the building's side. Debris poured everywhere. "It was gruesome. People were falling out of the building from very high up. People started crying," Kansas said. He described watching people's hands tremble as they tried hurriedly to work their cellphones. Rick Nessel is a management consultant whose 20th-floor office is a block away from the World Trade Center. "I was sitting at my desk and heard the explosion and at first thought it was maybe the air conditioning ducts imploding or something. Then I heard people who were sitting by the window scream," Nessel said. "We saw things falling and thought it was debris but it wasn't. They were bodies." Nessel hurried to his wife's office as one of the towers collapsed. "It was surreal." Brooklyn resident Alex Battles was at home, getting ready for work, when he heard the explosion. He assumed somebody was using dynamite on a construction site. Someone on the street told him what had happened. Then he saw papers fluttering across the East River and into Brooklyn. He made it into Manhattan and watched from his office at 23rd Street and Sixth Avenue. "The south tower seemed to lean toward the east as it went down," he said. "The second one went straight down." Streets became covered with ashes -- ankle-deep in places -- and vast quantities of office paper littered the ground, along with stray shoes, pocketbooks and broken bits of computer equipment. Soon, police cordoned off the area, to allow rescue crews to work. http://a188.g.akamaitech.net/f/188/920/1m/www.wa...tonpost.com/wp-srv/nation/articles/pmnewyork.htm (2 von 3) [11.09.2001 23:48:12] Washington, New York Rocked by Apparent Terrorist Attacks (washingtonpost.com)

"I see something that's unimaginable," said former New York police commissioner Howard Safir. "Nobody would ever contemplate that we would lose the World Trade Center. You have to treat it like a war zone. I know that every ambulance and every fire truck in the city has been called in and dispatched there." Much that was ordinary came to a stop. The New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq never opened. Marriott announced that that all its New York hotels were being evacuated. Hockey star Eric Lindross, set to begin a triumphal arrival tour, saw his appearance on the morning Regis and Kelly talk show canceled. For one day, at least, he was invisible. With traffic knotted and the subways shuttered, workers streamed across Manhattan's bridges in the late morning, headed home. Many taxis were headed uptown, their off-duty lights on, accepting no passengers. Strangers all over town talked with one another, trading news and commiseration. At the NYU Downtown Hospital, medical volunteers hurried to help. Lightly injured victims sat in waiting rooms, some crying, some covered with white dust. A police man walked through the room, asking for details, looking for people still unaccounted for. Verrette Abel, who worked on the 44th Floor of World Trade Center One, spoke of her horrific morning. It was nearly 9 a.m., and a group of workers were standing around, talking. The building started to shake and sway. She looked out a window and saw a dead body on the ground. Above, black smoke. Abel and her colleagues walked down 44 flights and out into the street. "On the plaza, you could see all these bodies lying all over the place," Abel said. "The cops were like, 'Move it! Move it!' There's another explosion. I look back and I can see all this black smoke. I try to get into a police car, but I can't. I run into this building. I hear another boom. I can't believe it."

And many other terrorism Los Angeles. experts said that the nature of the attacks -- coordinated, probably involving pilots, involving people willing to commit suicide during the attacks and requiring substantial financial resources -- pointed to bin Laden, Iraq or some other similar group. But other security experts warned against leaping to judgment, noting that the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995 that was carried out by Americans was initially suspected to be the work of foreign agents. When the United States figures out who to blame, however, the retaliation is likely to be fierce and may call for a new level of mobilization by U.S. forces. “This is the Pearl Harbor of American terrorism,” said Larry Johnson, a former CIA and State Department terrorism official. “Just as occurred with Pearl Harbor, we’ll get through this. But as Pearl Harbor awakened the United States to a war that it was unwilling to fight, this will have a similar effect. These groups that have called for killing Americans and gone unscathed are going to pay the price. We will overcome the grief, but after the grief, there’s a rage.” Fuerth warned that Americans will have to control that rage. “This is a situation, depending on how it evolves, that may test American principles very severely because of the desire to strike out against whoever is responsible,” Fuerth said. “We’re going to want to strike out quickly and very powerfully. We have to make as sure as we can that we have gone through very carefully what to do before we execute. But then we must act with great decisiveness and tenacity.” “We’ve witnessed a turn in history,” said retired ambassador Morton Abramowitz, former head of intelligence and research at the State Department. “And the way the United States will look at the world for a long time to come.” Abramowitz also called the failure of the United States to have advance warning of the attacks, especially given their widespread nature and sophistication, a “massive intelligence failure.” Johnson said there was no foolproof way to guard against this kind of attack. “The countermeasures required to defeat that would bring normal commercial airline service to a halt. There is always the possibility of this kind of attack.” Fuerth said that whatever group organized these widespread attacks would fail to achieve its political objectives, however. “The United States is far more likely to be galvanized and to pull together than to be unnerved if that was the intention of whoever organized this,” he said.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/nation/articles/feds091101.html (1 von 2) [11.09.2001 23:48:49] washingtonpost.com Traffic downtown slowed or stopped as federal and private-sector workers tried to go home from offices that had been closed. Because the Metro system seemed a likely terrorist target too, many workers began walking home, with those trying to take the 14th Street Bridge finding it closed to pedestrians. At the Tidal Basin, hundreds of people simply watched the smoke rising form the Pentagon, across the Potomac River. OPM’s decision to tell 250,000 federal workers that their offices were closed and they were free to leave was made in consultation with the White House, officials said. No decision has been made about when the offices would reopen. District government offices also closed. “It’s traumatizing,” said Meyer Persow, who has worked at OPM for 15 years. “I never thought that something like this would happen to us here.” Jeannette Smith, who works at Federal Deposit Insurance Corp., waited outside an H Street parking garage for her car. Smith shook her head in disbelief at the events, as police barked orders at pedestrians, clearing the sidewalk across the street. “We got word we could leave at our own discretion,” Smith said. “Some of the diehards are still in the building.” “I can’t believe this is happening here, or in New York,” said Diane Rodgers, who also works at the FDIC, at H and 17th streets. Rodgers stood outside, scrambling to find a way to her home near Falls Church. A mobile Secret Service Command Center raced west on H Street, with sirens blaring,shortly after 11 a.m. as police drew a growing perimeter around the White House. Metal gates and yellow tape blocked access to streets and alleys. People scrambled to find working pay phones or reach friends or family on cell phones. Outside the H Street law firm Baker & McKenzie, which has a large office in New York not far from the World Trade Center, workers were hugging and consoling each other in late morning. “This is a time for those of us who trust in God to rely on his promises,” said Debbie Sanford of Clinton. Throughout the region, a steady stream of parents came to pick up their children for the day as school officials weighed whether to close schools. Northern Virginia school districts opted to remain open, while most Maryland schools closed an hour or two early. Most districts canceled after-school and evening activities. “It’s pretty chaotic,” said Anne Arundel schools spokeswoman Jane Beckett. “We’re getting a lot of phone calls, and a lot of parents are picking their kids up.” Johnny Cervantes, a worker for the Internal Revenue Service, said that after the New York explosions, his branch chief suggested employees leave. “Word just sort of spread. I think, like everyone else, I’m shocked. I’m walking home to Crystal City because I don’t want to take the subway. Sure, I’m going to be concerned about coming back to work. We’ll come back to work when we get a better idea what kind of security plans are in place.” © 2001 The Washington Post Company

The flight was bound from Boston to Aviation expert Mike Boyd, chief Los Angeles. executive of The Boyd Group, said there would be serious consequences to the closing of the entire air traffic system, beyond stranding travelers. "Air transportation is one of the major forms of communication. If it's shut down, goods, mail, people aren't moving. As a result of that, you're talking about a major hit to the economy," Boyd said. Boyd added that the crashes could frighten travelers away from flying for at least a week. That's more bad news for the airline industry, which is currently experiencing its worst financial downturn in about 10 years as a result of a major drop in business travel and higher fuel and labor costs. The industry is already expected to report a loss as much as $2.5 billion this year. Boyd said one day of suspended flights could cost the industry "tens of billions in dollars." "There's going to be a ripple effect, even if flying returns Wednesday, nobody is going to be on an airplane tomorrow," Boyd said. Travel agent Terry Trippler of OneTravel.com, said the FAA's move is called a "Force Majeure Event" which translates into any government regulated event affecting airlines. Trippler said as a result, travelers are entitled to either a full refund, even non-refundable tickets, or travelers could accept alternative arrangements made by the airlines. "When this ends, when it ever does, you will have all of today's and tomorrow's people trying to get somewhere," said Trippler. "When they all open we will have a big mess," Trippler said. © 2001 The Washington Post Company

E-Mail This Article The region's largest stock market, in Printer-Friendly Version Sao Paulo, Brazil, was closed after an 8 percent drop. Phone companies put out advisories not to call the United States, particularly New York, because of overburdened phone lines. Brazil's President Fernando Henrique Cardoso immediately issued a statement condemning the attacks in the United States. Meanwhile, in cities throughout Latin America, shocked and stunned populations – some viewed crying in front of television sets in offices and appliance shop windows – were glued to their TV sets with news programs broadcasting virtually nothing else. Israel's defense minister, Binyamin Ben-Elizer, called it "a tragedy, simply a terrible thing." In Moscow, Russia's President Vladimir Putin expressed sorrow and outrage over what he called "a terrorist act, this terrible tragedy" and said that "the entire international community should unite in the struggle against terrorism." In the West Bank, celebrations erupted. "I feel I am in a dream. I never believed that one day the United States would come to pay a price for its support to Israel," said Mustafa, a 24-year-old Palestinian gunman, according to the Reuter news agency. Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat condemned the attack, joining a chorus of world leaders. "We completely condemn this serious operation," Arafat said. "We were completely shocked. It's unbelievable, unbelievable, unbelievable." Britain's Blair cut short a key policy speech to union leaders at the seaside resort of Brighton and returned immediately to London to monitor what he described as "the most terrible, shocking events" taking place in the United States. Mexican President Vicente Fox said: "Today the whole world and here in Mexico began the day with this high-impact news, this criminal act of terrorism, which we reject along with all forms of violence. We want from here to express our solidarity and our support to all the victims of these acts of terrorism and their family members. We reiterate our complete, emphatic rejection of all forms of violence and all forms of terrorism." German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder convened an urgent meeting of the country's national security council to discuss recent intelligence reports of potential terror plots and how to protect possible targets. Police guards were bolstered around American buildings in the German capital of Berlin.

"In these terrible circumstances, all French people stand by the American people. We express our friendship and solidarity in this tragedy," he said. In Brussels, the European Union's commissioner for external affairs, Chris Patten, said the EU's 350 million citizens stood behind the United States in offering condolences to the victims and their families. "We are all watching events with absolute horror," Patten said. "Our prayers and deepest sympathies go out to our friends in the United States." In Colombia, the government of President Andres Pastrana, struggling with its own decades-old civil war, "condemn[ed] and reject[ed] the cowardly and villainous terrorist attacks committed today against the American people." Pastrana was awaiting the first visit by U.S. Secretary of State Colin L. Powell, scheduled to arrived in Bogota later today for a two-day visit. That trip was canceled as Powell left a meeting of the Organization of American States he was attending in Lima for Washington. In Moscow, U.S. Undersecretary of Defense Douglas Feith had just finished a joint briefing with Russian Gen. Yuri Baluyevsky about their latest round of talks on the U.S.-proposed missile defense system when he found out about the World Trade Center attack. Minutes earlier, he had been extolling the United States proposal to create what he called a "new" post-Cold War security framework that would "make both our countries more secure." After listening to President Bush's speech on a cell phone, Feith began a news conference with American reporters saying that although the proposed missile defense system would not necessarily protect against "all the types of threats that the U.S. is facing," it still "makes a good deal of sense" to concentrate on it. Another member of the U.S. delegation, J.D. Crouch, argued that criticizing missile defense because it could not have prevented today's attacks was like saying that because the front door has been broken into, "we might as well leave the back door open as well." © 2001 The Washington Post Company

Calvert County decided to keep its schools open in part because parents, many of them who work for the federal government, were having trouble leaving in the melee and traffic problems in the District.

“We think that children are safer right were they are than to go home where there is no parent there,” said a spokesman for the Calvert schools. Frederick schools also remained open.

In the District, extra security officials were sent to the schools by the federal government.

In Fairfax, students and teachers were glued to televisions sets in classrooms and discussing the terrorist attacks. Counselors were available to meet with students and staff, many of whom have spouses or other relatives working in D.C. and the Pentagon area.

At Thomas Jefferson, Principal Elizabeth Lodal said she has lifted the school ban on cell phone use inside the building so students can call their families.

“The thing we need to do is stay calm,” Lodal said.

Principal James Person at Stone Bridge High School in Loudoun County said there are pockets of schoolwork going on, but it has been tough for students and teachers to keep their minds off the news.

“They’re trying but it is extremely difficult,” he said. “We had a lot of TVsets on at the beginning of the day.”

Spenard tried in earnest to call his wife in Cleveland Park to let her know that he was safe. After 30 minutes of getting a busy tone on his cell phone, he finally got through to tell her he was OK. Moore, who moved from Ireland in 1978, said when he came to the United States, he thought he was leaving terrorist activity behind. “This is what the people of Northern Ireland have suffered. ... Now it’s attacking the heart of America. You see now that your society is affected by terrorism,” Moore said. John Bata, 28, stood in line at an ATM on L Street downtown, saying he decided to take out some emergency cash after calling relatives in Denver to let them know he was all right. “I definitely feel like I need to get some cash in case we can’t get any later,” Bata said. Julius Rothstein held his cell phone in one hand and plunked coins into a Verizon pay phone outside a restaurant near 15th Street. His Verizon cell service did not work. After a few tries on the pay phone, Rothstein got through. “I’m trying to call people [to talk] generally about what’s going on -- to let them know that I’m okay,” said Rothstein, an attorney at the Department of Justice. Mark Brown, 25, left early from his job as a waiter at the Capital Hilton after hearing about the attacks. He stood outside the hotel, waiting in a line with dozens of people for a bus to get to Georgia Avenue. “I would like to go home just to see what’s going on,” said Brown, who held a cell phone pressed to one ear, as he tried unsuccessfully to get through to family members. His 3-year-old daughter was in school, and he was trying to get in touch with the school to bring her home. Staff writers Christopher Stern and Yuki Noguchi contributed to this report.

The discount window is the time of the attack to call in to a toll-free available to meet liquidity needs,” the Fed number so that the services can put together a roster. said in a two-sentence statement. That number is 1-877-663-6772. The promise to supply additional money to the banking system was similar to a pledge that the Fed issued on the morning after the October 1987 stock market crash, when the market plunged by more than 500 points in one day of trading. Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan was out of the country attending a banking conference in Switzerland at the time of Tuesday’s attacks, a Fed official said. In the aftermath of the blasts, investors reacted on the debt and commodity markets before those exchanges were closed. Crude oil in London surged to an eight-month high rising as much as $3.60, or 13.1 percent, to $31.05 a barrel on the International Petroleum Exchange, its biggest one-day gain since March 23, 1998. Oil last fetched more than $31 a barrel last Dec. 1. Meanwhile, U.S. Treasuries rose in a "knee-jerk panic," according to Banc One Capital Markets Inc. economist Anthony Karydakis. The 30-year bond rose 1 1/2, or $15 per $1,000 security, to 99 18/32, lowering yields 10 basis points to 5.34 percent. Overseas, the London Stock Exchange evacuated its building but said trade will continue from an alternate site. Traders responded to devastating attacks on the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington by sending the market into a tailspin. By the close, the FTSE-100 stood a massive 287.70 points lower at 4,746.00. In France, the CAC is trading down about 8 percent or 330 points at 4059. The Toronto Stock Exchange ended its trading in mid-morning, and by the suspension, the TSE-300 index was down 295.90, or 4.03 percent, at 7048.80. Only the gold and oil and gas sectors were higher while the broader market slumped sharply. Much of the downtown district, including the World Trade Center and the World Financial Center, was evacuated. It was also difficult to make phone calls to the downtown business district and throughout Manhattan. Thousands of companies sent their employees home for the day, putting tens of thousands of New Yorkers into the streets after public transportation was shut down as a precautions against further attacks. Around the country and world, the investment community was focused on the fate of people working in the World Trade Center affected by the apparent terrorist attacks. There were reports of people jumping out of buildings. “I’m just worried about people who are there,” said Robert Harrington, head of listed block trading at UBS Warburg’s office in Connecticut. Several top financial services firms have offices in the World Trade Center, including Morgan Stanley, Switzerland’s Credit Suisse Group and Germany’s Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank AG. Market data firm Thomson Financial and Bank of America also have offices in the complex. Morgan Stanley, which employed 3,500 people in 50 floors of the north and south towers, has released this emergency number for family members: (888) 883-4391. Citigroup said it managed to evacuate its workers in the plaza level of the World Trade Center, and in nearby buildings. Credit Suisse First Boston said its staffers were evacuated. Other companies with offices in the towers include Lehman Brothers. Deutsche Bank spokesman Detlev Rahmsdorf said the company believes that its employees in the buildings, who number more than 300 people, were also evacuated. Charles Schwab Corp., which is based in San Francisco, has a branch in the World Trade Center, but its employees seemed to get out of the building after the first plane crash, spokesman Glen Mathison told Reuters. http://a188.g.akamaitech.net/f/188/920/1m/www.was...t.com/wp-srv/nation/articles/financial091101.html (2 von 3) [11.09.2001 23:50:00] washingtonpost.com

“We are hopeful all of our employees in our Wall Street and Tower offices are fine,” Mathison said. Not all of the workers have been accounted for, he said, because it has been hard to get through on the phone. Telecommunications service providers have said their networks remain open but are clogged with calls. Barclays Capital, the investment banking arm of Britain’s Barclays Plc evacuated its downtown Manhattan offices located less than a mile from the World Trade Center, according to a company spokesman. © 2001 The Washington Post Company

So all of this doesn't mean very much today." Selig said he and his wife were in New York last week, and "we went to the World Trade Centers because I hadn't been there in a while. Now to believe that they don't exist anymore." Yankee Stadium, perhaps the building that most symbolizes American sports, was evacuated within 90 minutes of the first attacks on the World Trade Center. Security was tightened outside the 78-year-old ballpark, located in the South Bronx, more than 10 miles from the World Trade Center. "The ballpark is ringed with police," Yankees spokesman Rick Cerrone said after leaving his office. The Chicago White Sox arrived in New York just hours before the attacks for the start of their series against the Yankees. "I didn't have any immediate fear for the club because I knew they were staying in midtown and this was taking place downtown, lower Manhattan," White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf said. "So I figured they were OK. Then I got ahold of (general manager) Kenny Williams right away and he said everyone was OK." Teams didn't know when they would play again. Braves pitcher John Burkett was stuck at his suburban Dallas home because of canceled flights. "Whenever it's deemed safe to hold large public gatherings again, we'll resume, but I'm sure we won't do it until then," Atlanta Braves president Stan Kasten said. The NFL was unsure what it would do. "Regarding Sunday's games, we will make no decision today," league spokesman Joe Browne said. "We'll gather information and speak to several parties within the next 24 to 48 hours." The PGA Tour canceled Thursday's starts of the World Golf Championship and two other tournaments. Commissioner Tim Finchem said the American Express Championship in St. Louis, featuring Tiger Woods and top players from tours around the world, would begin Friday with 36 holes. "This is a sad, sad day in America," Woods said after playing a practice round, which he began about two hours before the initial attack. The Tampa Bay Classic will open with 18 holes each on Friday and Saturday and a 36-hole conclusion. The same schedule has been applied to the Buy.com Tour event in Oregon. The Senior Tour will remain on schedule, with a 54-hole event that starts Friday in North Carolina.

Among those stranded were PGA champion David Toms, Phil Mickelson and Davis Love III. The Thoroughbred Racing Association canceled all its cards Tuesday, shuttering tracks at Delaware Park in Stanton, Del; Finger Lakes in Farmington, N.J.; the Meadowlands in East Rutherford, N.J.; Philadelphia Park in Bensalem Pa.; and Prairie Meadows in Altoona, Iowa. Cards also were wiped out at Great Lake Downs in Muskegon, Mich.; Fairplex in Pomona, Calif.; and Moutaineer Park in Chester, W.Va. Arlington Park is Arlington Heights, Ill., and Turfway Park in Florence, Ky., canceled Wednesday's cards. The Swiss-based International Olympic Committee expressed a "profound sense of shock and disbelief" at the attacks. IOC president Jacques Rogge expressed "deepest sympathy" to the families of the victims and sent letters of condolence to President Bush, the U.S. Olympic Committee and the Salt Lake City Organizing Committee. The 2002 Winter Olympics are to be held in Salt Lake City in February. The commissioners from all the Division I-A conferences, including the Atlantic Coast, Big East, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-10 and Southeastern, discussed their options for staging this weekend's football games in a conference call hours after the attacks. "It puts a lot less importance on Saturday," Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said. "You say to yourself, 'Who's going to be getting on airplanes to go play each other right now?"' The NCAA said conferences and schools have the authority to determine whether to play college football games this weekend as well as hold other events. "The games themselves are insignificant in the face of what has happened today," NCAA president Cedric Dempsey said. "Our focus is entirely on the safety of student-athletes, athletics personnel and fans." NASCAR also was monitoring the situation before making any decision on Sunday's New Hampshire 300, spokesman John Griffin said. The Indy Racing League said it will decide Wednesday on the status of Sunday's Chevy 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth. Baseball's minor leagues - their regular seasons over - postponed postseason games in all nine leagues that were to play Tuesday. "Out of respect to the families and friends of those people who lost their lives or were injured in today's tragic events, we have postponed all playoff games scheduled for tonight in the United States," said Mike Moore, president of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues, the governing body for the minors. The International, Pacific Coast, Eastern, Southern, Texas, California, Florida State, Midwest and South Atlantic leagues were affected. The stadium of one of minor league baseball team, the independent Newark Bears, has a view of the lower Manhattan skyline, where smoke filled the air after the World Trade Center was destroyed. Major League Soccer postponed all four of Wednesday night's games. In Columbus, Ohio, the U.S. Women's Cup doubleheader at Crew Stadium involving the United States against Japan and Germany vs. China was canceled. In hockey, the Toronto Maple Leafs postponed their trip to Newfoundland after Canadian airports grounded all outgoing flights. The Leafs were to travel to Newfoundland for training camp but decided to work out Wednesday in Toronto. The Buffalo Sabres, fearing delays at the Canadian border, changed plans to open training camp Wednesday in St. Catharines, Ontario, and instead will work out at

Eric Lindros and the New York Rangers were set to open training camp at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday. "Eric called at 11 a.m. and he said everyone was fine," Lindros' father, Carl Lindros, told The Canadian Press. "He was supposed to be downtown (in New York) to do a TV show but that was canceled." In Germany, players on the Nuremberg Ice Tigers hockey team, which has Americans Paul Stanton, Chris Luongo and David Emmaunder under contract, voted against playing a game against the Revier Loewens Oberhausen because of the attacks. In Nyon, Switzerland, the Union of European Football Associations said this week's games will take place as scheduled. UEFA chief executive Gerhard Aigner said there would be a minute's silence at all games. © 2001 The Washington Post Company

I called my friend Daniel Benjamin, who was director for transnational threats at the National Security Council in the Clinton administration. He was at home on Capitol Hill, and just as we started talking, we heard a big boom from somewhere outside. Or we thought we did. We had already gotten to the point where we would believe almost anything, which is exactly what terrorism is all about. Benjamin said this day's events had all the markings of an assault by the forces of Osama bin Laden, a Saudi dissident who is wanted by U.S. authorities on charges of masterminding the bombing of two U.S. embassies in Africa in 1998. "They have been seeking to create a sort of Tet offensive phenomenon of lots of attacks at one time to show they can coordinate attacks better than any other terrorist operation before," Benjamin said. "They've done that today. This is a very impressive performance." It seemed this morning that our government, our country were totally clueless, but Benjamin said that's precisely the impression that terrorists want to make, and it's not entirely the case. "Terrorism is a bizarre game in which when the bad guys score one, it looks like they're winning the game," he said. "Attacks have been foiled in recent years. And there have been arrests that stopped incipient attacks." But not this time. "This will stress the resources of the United States as far as anything has in our history," Benjamin said. And yet on the streets of Washington, there was no panic, no shouting, no crying. There were quick, efficient cell phone conversations about whether the kids would be safer at home or at school. There were strangers offering to drive strangers home, or at least in that direction. A woman whose boyfriend was at that moment in a plane somewhere over the East Coast was besieged with offers of the latest news about hijacked planes. People shared phones, radios, cars, stories. We didn't know what to do except to keep on doing. We just didn't know anything but to be afraid, and that's the purpose and the mission of terrorism. After the man from Israel told me that in his hometown, there are big booms every day, I asked him if he ever got used to it emotionally. He shook his head. "We came here to calm down," he said. "Now I guess we feel kind of homesick." © 2001 The Washington Post Company
