Hey, something's up.

We have unconfirmed reports

this morning

that a plane has crashed into one of

the towers of the World Trade Center.

-CNN Center right now...

-Holy sh*t.

...work on this story, calling our sources

and trying to figure out

exactly what happened, but, clearly,

something relatively devastating

happening this morning there.

We're going to join

another one of our New York affiliates

for their live coverage.

Here at the top of this tower, there's

a huge, gaping hole, flames still inside.

Can you believe this?

What schmuck would fly a plane

into the Trade Center?

Maybe they ran out of gas or something.

Yeah, Colovito. Right.

Maybe some jerk-off forgot

which lever to pull on his twin-engine.

That's not a small plane.

Hell, no.

All right, listen up!

Let me have your attention here!

They're telling us it's a commuter plane.

Tower One is being evacuated

as a precaution.

They've asked us to send

a team down to assist.

Sergeant McLoughlin.

I've got a list of names here.

Step out when you hear it.

We're going downtown.

Command post on the air?

Command post.

Field command post. Are there any

injuries going to any particular hospital?

Chief on the air. Go ahead.

Come on, everybody. Off the bus.

Get off the bus. Step this way.

I'm gonna cut across

Bleecker to Seventh. Stay close.

You got it.

Central. Mobilization point

is gonna be Pike and South.

That was to evacuate One Police Plaza

at the Gracie Mansion, the Municipal

Building, and any potential targets.

Who is advising this?

Central units, the mobilization point

is now South and Pike.

Yeah. No, no, I got it.

Hey, guys, you won't believe this!

My wife says the other one got hit,

the other tower.

How the hell did the other tower get hit?

She was listening to HOT 97

and they said it.

What? Who gets their news

from HOT 97?

-I told you it was no damn private plane.

-No, I got it.

What special equipment

we got down there?

-What?

-We're prepared for everything.

Car bombs, chemical, biological,

an attack from the top.

But not this. Not for something this size.

There's no plan. We didn't make it.

Only emergency transmissions

on this frequency.

All right, all emergency personnel

respond to Vesey and West.

All emergency service units,

please go to Vesey and West.

There could be 50,

Units on West Street to use caution.

Debris is falling from the building

on West Street.

Hey! Looks like

Tower Two did take a hit.

What did I tell you?

No, no, that's the smoke blowing over

from Tower One.

All right, that's enough.

Everybody sit down. Now!

Yo, Dom, let me see your phone

for a sec, yeah?

Hey, let me see your phone.

I got to call Allison.

It's not working!

Nothing's going through.

Emergency service vehicles

are also responding.

Hey, take it easy, will you? Jesus!

-This is gonna be a b*tch.

-Relax.

Well, I'm just saying

that it looks like it's gonna...

You think they're bringing you

down there to scratch your ass?

McLoughlin will tell you what to do.

Why the Sarge?

He was Emergency Services

at the Trade Tower.

He's one of the guys who came up

with a plan after the attack in '93.

Anybody knows what to do down there,

it's him.

Command to Division One.

Does anyone over

in Tower One hear me?

Okay, make the turn on Broadway.

Go down West Broadway.

We'll meet you outside Five.

You got it.

Send everything you got

to the World Trade Center now.

We got to get that building evacuated!

Which tower?

Which tower are we responding to?

-I got to get a team to go up!

-I'll check in with headquarters.

Roll every available ambulance you got

to this position.

Fire out on the north side.

They're now coming out

of the west side

of the World Trade Center.

All right, everybody stay here. I'm gonna

find out what the hell's going on.

Yes, sir.

Oh, my God.

Nothing's gonna help them.

No, we'll get up there.

How are you gonna save people

that high up? It's impossible.

We got to try.
