Well the time in England right now is 07:45, I've been awake since 5... I haven't been able to sleep like as I can imagine is what the Americans are suffering from right now. I've been watching the news all morning and here are the updates and what's happend so far and during the attack on America:
*America HAS closed, there are no planes going in or out of America or Canada... all planes have been sent back... all holidays have been cancelled.
*The Pilots were forced to the back of the plane with all the other passengers.
*The passengers were "forced" to call their families and friends to let them know they were going to die and to say goodbye.
*One of the passengers that did get thru was Barbara Olson... she was the wife of US solicitor General Theodor who, I think, helped Bush thru his election (I'm sorry if this info is not correct... I will edit this as soon as I find out what is right) and her last words to her husband was "what shall I do?"
*300 firefighters are reporting missing... most of whome are feared to be dead. That's half of them.
*85 police officers have died.
*25, 000 people are reported missing again most of whome are feared to be dead.
*7 floors of one of the WTC buildings are reported to be still standing and as we know so far thousands are trapped there... two fire fighters so far again as we know have been rescueded from the wreakage. We know some people are still alive in the rubble... they have been calling the rescuers and families to come and help them.
*800 people have died in Washington Pentagon.
*Apparently on the hijack of the plane going to San Francesseco a few of the men went into the cotpit to stop the terrosts and it apperently did work as the plane did not crash in it's planned destination so.
*Apparently the hijackers were armed with only knives and what looked like cardboard cutters.
Stewardesess were murdered by the terrorist to make the pilots let them into the cotpit.
*An ambulance was crushed during the collaspe.

*Nothing new really to say at the momemt execpt that flights to America will apparently resume at 5 o'clock british time and 12 o'clock New York time.
*10 to 20 thousand are said to be dead, but that is not a confirmed number.
*In a few minutes, Tony Blair (Britsh Prime Minister) shall be speaking on what should happen, I shall update more when he comes on.
*Well basically, Blair was just saying that we are going to stick by America's side.
