"Pentagon collapses

Parts of the Pentagon have collapsed after a plane crashed into it."

A person who answered the phone on the trading floor at
interdealer-broker Cantor Fitzgerald, located near the top of the World
Trade Center, said: "We're f***ing dying," then hung up. There was
screaming and yelling in the background. A follow up call was not
answered.

Donncha.
