World Trade Centre burning after two planes crashed into it 
 
One of the towers of the World Trade Centre collapsed after a plane crashed
into it this afternoon. 

Hundreds are feared dead after two hi-jacked planes crashed into the Worth
Trade Centre shortly before 2 p.m. this afternoon. A third plane has also
crashed into the Pentagon in Washington DC. Another explosion has been
reported in the same area of Washington a short time ago. 

A witness reported a "sonic boom" as a commercial passenger jet collided
into the north tower of the 110-story building between the 80th and 85th
floor.

Within minutes another commercial plane ploughed into the south tower, with
television footage showing flames and smoke billowing across the New York
skyline.

Mr Ira Furman, a former National Transportation Safety Board spokesman,
indicated that the crashes were not accidental.

He told CNN there was no indication that normal air traffic would be in the
area. Planes would "normally be clearing the World Trade Center by a few
miles," he said.

US President Mr George Bush, on a visit to Florida, was informed of the
tragedy by chief-of-staff Mr Andrew Card.

The large passenger commercial jet was teetering towards the tower before it
"embedded in building," a New York resident told the network.

The World Trade Center consists of two 110-story skyscrapers and are New
York's tallest towers. One of the towers is just six feet (two metres)
taller than the other.

About 40,000 people work inside the two-building centre; more than 150,000
people enter the complex every day for business and pleasure.

On February 26th, 1993, a terrorist bomb exploded in building number one's
lower level.
