The Pentagon is apparently severely damaged and there's been considerable loss of life. Of course that's nothing as compared with the WTC disaster, now that both towers have collapsed. They're saying that over 50K people work in or immediately near those two towers. There are apparently some gas fires/explosions associated with that as well. The NY fire department has their hands full for sure. Morever, there were many fire fighters in the second tower evacuating people when it collapsed. The heart of Washington D.C. OTOH is apparently being (relatively) quitely evacuated. I don't know how the key government agencies can function if they're not going to work, however. They've shut down the CIA, the NSA, and other security-related agencies. You (Jeff) can probably provide more detail, since you're there. I note that Dubya is on the tube. I wonder where they set him down. He was in the air when this happened. Likewise, Colin Powell apparently turned around <snip>
