Authorities in W ashington im mediately called out troops, in cluding an infantry regiment. The Situation Room at the W hite House was in full operation. A u thorities went on alert from coast to coast, the U.S. and Canadian borders were sealed, all air traffic across the country was halted, and security was tightened at stra tegic installations. “This is the second Pearl Har bor. I don’t think that I overstate it." said Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. The Dec. 7,1941. Japanese attack onPearl Harbor killed nearly2,400 people and drew’ the United States into World W ar II. In June, a U.S. judge had set this W ednesday as the sentenc ing date for a bin Laden associate forhisroleinthe 1998 bombing o f a U.S. embassy in Tanzania that killed 213 people. The sentencing had been set for the federal court house near the W orld Trade Cen ter. No one from the U.S. attorney’s office could be reached Tuesday to comment on whether the sen tencing was still on. A fghanistan ’ s hardl ine Tai i ban rulers condemned the attacks and rejected suggestions that bin Laden was behind them, saying he does not have the means to carry out such well-orchestrated attacks. Bin Laden has been given asylum in Afghanistan. Abdel-Bari Atwan, editorofthe Al-Quds al-Arabi newspaper, said he received a warning from Is lamic fundamentalists close to bin Laden, but did not take the threat seriously. “They said it would be a huge and unprecedented attack but they did not specify,” Atwan said in a telephone interview in London.

I <1 In the West Bank city ofNablus, thousands o f Palestinians cel ebrated the attacks, chanting “God isi Great” and handing out candy. .American Airlines initially iden- tified the planes that crashed into the Trade Center as Flight 11, a Los Angeles-bound jet hijacked after takeoff from Boston with 92 people aboard, and Flight 77, which was seized while carrying 64 people from Washington to Los Angeles. Law enforcem ent officials, speaking on condition o f anonym ity, said it was Flight 77 that hit the Pentagon. In Pennsylvania, United Air lines Flight 93, a Boeing 757 en route from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco, crashed about 80 miles southeast o f Pittsburgh with 45 people aboard. United said an other o f its planes. Flight 175, a Boeing 767 bound from Boston to Los Angeles with 65 people on board, also crashed, but it did not say where. The fate o f those aboard the two planes was not immediately known. U n ited ’s pilots union said United Flight 175 crashed into the Trade Center. But the airline had no immediate comment. An emergency dispatcher in Westmoreland County, Pa., re ceived a cell phone call at 9:58 a.m. from a man who said he was a passenger locked in the bathroom o f United Flight 93, said dispatch supervisor Glenn Cramer. “We are being hijacked, we are being hijacked!” Cramer quoted the man as saying. The man told dispatchers the plane “was going down. He heard some sort o f ex plosion and saw white smoke com ing from the plane and we lost contact with him,” Cramer said. Evacuations were ordered at the United Nations in New York and at the Sears Tower in Chi cago. Los Angeles mobilized its anti-terrorism division, and secu rity was intensified around the naval installations in Hampton Roads, Va. Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla., was evacuated. In New York, hours after the attacks, huge clouds o f smoke billowed from the ruins, obscur ing much o f the skyline. The two planes blasted fiery, gaping holes in the upper floors of one o f New York’s most famous landmarks and rained debris on the streets. About an hour later, the southern tower collapsed with a roar andahugecloudofsmoke; the other tower fell about a half-hour after that, covering lower Manhat tan in heaps o f gray rubble and broken glass. Firefighters trapped in the rubble radioed for help. “All this stuffstarted falling and all this smoke was coming through. People werescreaming, falling, and jumping out ofthe windows," from high in the sky, said Jennifer Brickhouse, 34,ofUnion, N. J , who was going up the escalator into the World Trade Center. On the street, a crowd mobbed a man at a pay phone, screaming at him to get off the phone so that they could call relatives. Dust and dirt flew everywhere. Ash was 2 to 3 inches deep in places. People wandered dazed and terrified. “I have a sense it’s a horren dous number o f lives lost,” Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said. “Right now we have to focus on saving as many lives as possible.” The death toll on the crashed planes alone could surpass that ofthe Oklahoma City bombing on April 19,1995, whichclaimed 168 lives in what was the deadliest act ofterrorism on U.S. soil. “Today w e’ve had a national tragedy,” Bush said in Sarasota, Fla. “Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country.” He said he would be returning immediately to W ash ington. John Axisa, who was getting o ff a commuter train to the World Trade Center, said he saw "bodies falling out” o f the building. He said he ran outside, and watched people jum p out o f the first build ing. Then there was a second ex plosion, and he felt heat on the back o f neck. People ran down the stairs in panic and tied the building. Thou sands o f pieces o f what appeared to be office paper drifted over Brooklyn, about three miles away. Several subway lines were im mediately shut down. Trading on Wall Street was suspended. New Y ork’s mayoral primary election T uesday was postponed. All bridges and tunnels into Manhaf- tan were closed. David Reck was handing out literature for a candidate for pub lic advocate a few blocks away when he saw a jet come in “very low, and then it made a slight twist and dove into the building.” Terrorist bombers struck the World Trade Center in February 1993, killing six people and injur ing more than 1,000 others. " It’s just sick. It just shows how vulnerable we really are,” Keith Meyers, 39, said in Colum bus, Ohio. “It kind o f makes you want to go home and spend time with your family. It puts every thing in perspective," Meyers said. He said he called to check in with his wife. They have two young children. In 1945, an Army A irCorps B- 25, a twin-engine bomber, crashed into the 79th floor o f the Empire State Building in dense fog. In Florida, Bush was reading to children in aclassroom at 9:05 a.m. when his chief o f staff, Andrew Card, whispered into his ear. The president briefly turned somber before he resumed reading. He addressed the tragedy about a half-hour later. Harassment Takes Out Portland Firefighter continued Sherry L. Gilkey, Deputy Clerk from Front from Front seriously investigated,” Wilson said. Fizer. a M ississippi native and Oregon State University gradu ate, was hired in 1999. By June, he developed ulcers, stopped coming to work and used up his sick and vacation time. On June 19hefiledforastress-related disabi lity claim. Fizer was the only African American firefighteratthe station and had a clean record. When Fizer raised the allega tions to some supervisors, they said practical jokes were part o f the fire bureau’s culture and were not meant to be malicious. Fizer said that 90 percent o f the firefighters in the bureau are “standup guys,” but his station was known for an anything-goes This fire station off North Interstate and Going is where a black firefighter was found to have suffered frequent derogatory racial comments and pornographic pranks. photo by M ark W ashincton /T he P ortland O bserver atmosphere that helped foster the racial incidents. “For a job I absolutely loved and worked so hard to get, it was more o f a slap in the face to have nothing done," he said. “ I love this job, but I don ’ t love it so much that I’m going to forsake who I am . T here’s a problem within the bu reau, and they haven't handled it right.” Within the 720-member bureau, there are 26 blacks, 23 Hispanics, 21 Asians, nine American Indians and 30 women. Fizer joined the Portland Fire Bureau through its apprenticeship, program. The bureau continues to run the program, a six-month school that prepares candidates to becom e p ro b a tio n a ry firefighters. Most who participate are women and minorities. Security tightened across Oregon after terror attacks continued from Front all other military installations in the state, said Lt. Misti Oiler, pub lic affairs officer Kitzhaber met with the Oregon State Police and the National Guard Tuesday morning. “This calls for all o f us, every one in the nation, to reach inside ourselves and find the courage to not allow these kinds o f things to disrupt our lives," Kitzhaber said. “We need to carry on.” The U.S. Forest Service locked down its Northwest regional head quarters in Portland, but later Tuesday morning decided to send employees home, said spokesman Rex Holloway. “Even though nothing, to our knowledge, has happened in the Portland area, still there is that level ofconcem ,” Holloway said. “Quite frankly, this is incredibly distracting and em ployees are very concerned and it is very hard to concentrate right now. I think people’s minds are just really else where.” At the Portland airport, 305 flights were grounded and about 25,000 passengers had to change their plans because all departures were suspended. Sixty-year-old traveler Janice W ilson had just heard about the blasts at the W orld Trade C en ter in New York and at the Pen tagon. “This is something we in the U.S have never experienced and you don’t know where it is going to strike next. It makes me sick to my stomach," she said. Flights were also canceled at airports in Coos Bay, Redmond, Salem, Eugene and Medford. Federal courthouses and build ing across Oregon were closed The Portland headquarters for the Bonneville Power Adminis tration, the federal power agency, w as a lso c lo se d , sa id Ian Templeton, a BPA spokesman. “On the whole, we have a heightened security ... w e’re not going to let anyone else in today,” he said. C lasses at several private sc h o o ls in P o rtla n d and Vancouver, Wash., were canceled. At least two malls in the Portland area were closed. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., was about to give a speech away from Capitol Hill at the time o f the at tack, according to his chief o f staff Josh Kardon. “We were advised by the Capitol police to not bring Senator Wyden back to the Capi tol but to get him to a secure place," Kardon said. Sen. Gordon Smith, R-Ore., monitored developments from an aide’s home after he was evacu ated from the Capitol, said Kerry Tymchuk, directorofSmith’s Port land office. “He is a member ofthe Foreign Affairs Committee. I imagine this will dominate all o f government for the next several weeks, if not longer,” Tymchuk said. Other members o f O regon’s Congres sional delegation were safe at aides homes in the nation’s Capital. T w e lv e -y e a r-o ld N ic o le K ordenat, a girl scout from Woodburn, Ore., was visiting the Capitol on her first trip to W ash ington when her tour group was evacuated. “I felt, 'W hat’s next, the Capi tol?’ My stomach started hurting. It was scary. I’ll remember this my whole life.” In Portland, an emergency op erations center was set up to deal with possible threats to the area, although none had been reported. “These incidents have ripple effects — we know that,” said Police C hief Mark Kroeker. He urged residents not to use cell phones and limit emergency and long distance calls to reduce the strain on phone lines. 4
