What some ppl will do.....

[Danni]

The stories emerging are bringing tears to my eyes....

A man strapped his colleague into her wheelchair and pulled her down 63 or 68 stories in the first building hit, and got her to safety.

A lady dropped her infant, and the baby was getting trampled, a man and woman scooped the baby up, threw themselves into a doorway and covered and protected the baby as the buildings collapsed.

I am sure there are going to be many many more selfless stories coming out of this tragedy, and my hat is off to all those that tried to and/or did help their fellow beings.

i cried when i heard about the man who carried the woman in her wheelchair...... as well as the people who are trapped and managed to ring a 911 operator in pennsylvania..... the pictures are just heart wrenching. the people jumping from the 96th floor.... it is just too much too comprehend.

Yes, no doubt from this tragedy some heroic stories will emerge...we will see the best and worst of humanity in 24 hours.

Wouldn't be surprised if there is some looting occurring in some spots, but there will also be hundreds of amazing escapes and rescues that will emerge. Who knows how many people are still buried under rubble somewhere, possibly alive.

The images are just horrific. They are horrific from our position of safety on the other side of the world. Imagine the absolute horror that you would feel if you were in the area at the time.

The pictures of the second plane crashing into the building is alomst surreal. When i first saw it i thought "nah thats gotta be fake surely". Hollywood creates movies like that all the time...and it is hard to fathom that this is actually 100% real. Its like you are watching Independence Day or Executive Decision. Just the absolute fear that the people in that area would of gone thru is just unimaginable.

For me the picture from the street of the plane appearing from nowhere and then dissapearing into the building will never leave me.

it almost looks like trick photography. I too thought it was gonna come out the other end but it obviously exploded to bits.

There are reports apparently of people ringing up on their mobiles to say they are trapped in the rubble.
