All Disney parks are closed.
All baseball games (Major Leauge) are cancelled until further notice.
US Navy Jet Fighters are circling over NYC & the Hudson River.
Just now they're saying Bush is on the move from Barksdale AFB, destination unknown.
Facts about WTC: 50,000 people work in the two towers of the WTC. 110 floors each. 43,000 windows. 1,350 feet tall.
A third building is on fire in NYC, and they are clearing people from the area because of fear it might collapse/explode/do something.
Just some flight numbers for those who want them:
