As we come on now, we have serious news of a major possible air crash in the
United States. A plane appears to have crashed into one of New York's tallest
buildings; the World Trade Center
As you can see those are pictures of smoke
pouring out of a gaping hole in the upper floors of the World Trade
Center.
It is in the downtown area of Manhattan and is one of the most
heavily-populated office buildings in New York.
All we know at this moment is that uh... there has been plane crash in the uh...
in the morning time in New York. The plane smashed into one of the twin
towers
of the New York World Trade Center about half an hour ago. That's the
information that we've got. You can see the smoke and flames billowing from the building.
One eyewitness said that it was a twin engine plane,
possibly a 737 which flew straight into the World Trade Center
It's believed that uh some bits of the plane may still be embedded in the
building
