President Bush vowed retribu- tion, saying, ‘‘We will make no dis- tinction between the terrorists who committed these acts and those who harbor them.’’ At 8:45 a.m. EDT, the first plane, with 92 aboard, slammed into the north tower of the Trade Center in Manhattan. Eighteen minutes lat- er, another jet, with 65 on board, erupted in a fireball midway up the south tower. Less than an hour later, a third hijacked flight crashed into the Pentagon, killing all 64 aboard. An- other 45 passengers and crew were killed shortly afterward when their hijacked plane dived into a field near Shanksville, Pa. As hundreds of New York police officers and firefighters rushed to rescue survivors, the twin 110-sto- ry towers of the World Trade Cen- ter collapsed in a massive cloud of fire and rubble, spewing dust down Manhattan streets. Reported miss- ing were 78 police officers and more than 300 firefighters and paramedics. The city’s fire chief was killed. Mayor Rudolph Giuliani said the death toll would not be known for at least a day but would be ‘‘more than any of us can bear.’’ As many as 50,000 people worked in the two towers, which have up to 100,000 visitors a day.
