FOX confirms

Somerset County is between Pittsburgh and Washington, DC. If you have ever driven on the PA Turnpike, that is where the 1-1/2 mile Allegheny Mountain Tunnel is located.

Letting everyone across our boarders works real good doesn't it?

[BurkeanCyclist]

FOX reporting that this may be the hijacked plane reported coming toward Washington from the south.

Perhaps a brave pilot crashed it deliberately rather than give into the terrorists.

Nbc reports USAF providing air cover in DC!

[PA Engineer]

Was a reported 747 from Cleveland crashed in a rural area 8 miles south of the county seat in Somerset about 30 miles southeast of here. Will listen to scanner and report on EM traffic.

If the plane wasn't shot down, then there were probably some true American heros that averted a further disaster.

Town was Shanksville near Lake Stonecreek and Indian Lake near route 30. Will follow up with more news.

[rintense]

Damn straight. If you know you're going to die, then die a hero in defense of our country.

[WillaJohns]

Yes, please keep us advised. Family resides in Myersdale, PA, rural area of Somerset.

Praying hard for our country here in California.

One thing I don't understand: The "powers that be" have time to monitor every word that comes across the web here on Freerepublic but they had not a clue that something as organized as this terrorist attack on the United States was in the works?

According to local radio in Dallas, A/P is CONFIRMING a report of plane crash in Pennsylvania.

Careful folks - lots of false reports coming out of the media! ! !

[PA Engineer]

Indian Lake Airport ... a small airport is located near the intersection of 30/160 in the area of the crash. More later.

[Redbob]

NO! Not false information from our media?

What is the world coming to?

[El Gato]

More likely to be Air National Guard. AFAIK, they still keep birds on alert. USAF would take longer to get birds ready. DC Air Guard IIRC F-16s. Top of Pentagon caves in, they report on ABC as I type. Burning like a mother. Completely caved in around center court, where A/C hit. This event will change our country forever, and quite likely not for the good. Washington DC military on Threatcon Delta, highest level. Rest of US Military on Threatcon Charlie.

I'm wondering how in the heck they got the planes to crash into the WTC? They had to have dispatched the crew and taken over control to get that to happen.

Fox just reported that it was a 767 wide bodied jet possibly with a huge number of passengers.
