Some good news... an eyewitness who was on the 81st floor of Tower 1(?) got out (along with everyone on his floor) before the collapse. Considering the towers were 110 stories high, that bodes well for evacuation of the towers post-crash... On Tue, 11 Sep 2001, Thomas P. Brisco wrote:
We're sitting here and watched the tower fall. NYC is insane, people (at this point, 30 blocks away) are starting to run in the streets. The entire island is locked down, you apparently CANNOT get off of Manhattan island. The second tower just went down. We're getting reports via phone from people about 10 blocks away.

Just some additional information:
One of the towers has collapsed completely. Additionally, FBI flash-traffic is indicating a threat of virus attack in conjunction.

been confirmed by CNN. A third plane.
The first was apparently a boeing 767, hijacked out of Boston. Bush has already appeared on national tv to announce it as a terroist attack, NYC is shut down, all airports are shut down.
good luck:(
