Terrorism against our nation will not stand," he said, vowing to "hunt down and to find those folks who committed this act." Two planes slammed into the World Trade Center around 9 a.m. ET. American Airlines said one of them was American Airlines Flight 11, hijacked after takeoff from Boston en route to Los Angeles with 92 passengers and crew, American Airlines said. The other plane was not immediately identified. Witnesses saw another American Airlines plane plough into a helicopter pad alongside the Pentagon, America's military headquarters, at 9:35 a.m. American identified that jet as Flight 77, carrying 64 people from Washington to Los Angeles. Planes that crashed today A fourth plane, United Airlines Flight 93, crashed near Pittsburgh after a passenger used his cellphone to report the Boeing 757 bound from Newark to San Francisco was being hijacked, officials said. United said 45 passengers and crew were aboard. They added that another UA jet, Flight 175 from Boston to LA, was missing and has crashed, but they could not immediately say whether it had been hijacked. It was a Boeing 767 with 65 people aboard. The attacks horrified and enraged Americans. "This is the second Pearl Harbor," said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb, referring to the surprise attack that launched WWII. ''This is perhaps the most audacious terrorist attack that's ever taken place in the world,'' said Chris Yates, an aviation expert at Jane's Transport in London. ''It takes a logistics operation from the terror group involved that is second to none. Only a very small handful of terror groups is on that list. ... I would name at the top of the list Osama bin Laden.'' The planes blasted fiery, gaping holes in the upper floors of the World Trade Center's twin towers. About an hour later, the southern tower collapsed with a roar a huge cloud of smoke; the other tower fell about a half-hour after that. "I just saw my two towers fall. I'm devastated beyond belief," said Lewis Eisenberg, chairman of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. "This is significantly worse than Pearl Harbor, and we don't know who the enemy is." John Axisa, who was getting off a PATH train to the World Trade Center, told The Associated Press that he saw ''bodies falling out'' of the building. He said he ran outside and watched people jump out of the first building. Then there was a second explosion, and he said he felt heat on the back of his neck. In Washington, an American Airlines slammed into a Pentagon helicopter pad at 9:35 a.m., witnesses said. USA TODAY.com's Joel Sucherman was sitting in rush hour traffic listening to reports of the Trade Center attack when the plane screamed overhead and crashed into the Pentagon. "My next though was my God — these planes are going to be falling out of the sky all day," he said. Columns of dark gray smoke rose from the Pentagon as workers fled the building, as reports circulated of another plane approaching. Some were in tears. "Brian is in there, Brian is in there," cried one woman. "What are we going to do?" The next confirmed crash came around 10 a.m., near Jennerstown, Pa., 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. WPXI TV in Pittsburgh said a passenger had called an emergency dispatcher on his mobile phone to report the plane had been hijacked. "It shook the whole station," said a gas station owner near Jennerstown. The plane broke up after impact. The shock that gripped America quickly turned to anger for some. "I hope they take this as a final sign that they need to take the gloves off and go after these people," said Rob Taylor, 32, a traveler at Denver International Airport. "Someone is trying to make a serious statement, and I hope we do likewise," said Scott Gilmore, 55, who had planned a trip to Washington, D.C.
