I heard the plane overhead and want to know how many miles was the plane that hit the north tower from the major degan and hall place.

It probably passed within a mile laterally and 1-2 miles vertically.

It will always stay in my mind...I was in a class at my company's HQ in Baltimore.  During our 10 AM coffee break one of the guys came in and said that a plane had hit the World Trade Center...we thought he meant the WTC in downtown Baltimore...we all went outside to look...nothing wrong there.  We all went next door to see the TV and realized it was in NYC...by then the 2nd tower had been hit.  Class was out for the day...we were all glued to the TV...everyone in the company was sent home early because Gov. Glendening was going to close the I-95 tunnel under Balto. Harbor.\nBy the mid-afternoon there were F-16s flying combat air patrol over Baltimore.\nOur class got out that Friday; all of us had to drive home - no flights available; another guy and I had a rental car from the week before.  I live in Oregon; he lives in Arizona.  We started driving - dropped him off with his brother-in-law in Detroit, then I drove all the way to Portland.  One guy had to rent a U-Haul to drive home; rental cars couldn't be had for love or money.\nOne of my cousins is a lawyer in NYC...we like her in spite of it:)...she had an early morning meeting in the WTC, and got out of the north tower 1/2 hr. before the first plane hit...

Tell all of them except for the one who answered 500m, they're wrong. Rounded to the nearest hundred is 500m. The exact number is 553.33m.\n\nSome fact about the CN Tower:\n*The CN Tower is the tallest standing structure in the world.\n*It is located in Toronto Canada.\n*Although it's the tallest structure in the world, it's not the tallest building. The CN Tower isn't consider to be a building.\n*The CN Tower was build in 1976.

I was there...\n\nI was riding the A-train (one of many train lines heading into the NYC) on my way to school ( I was in college at the time). \n\nBut things were running very slow due to massive delays in the underground. People grew impatient and starting coming out of the trains, when suddenly rumors started spreading that two "small" planes hit the towers. Details were still hazy as information was being gathered at that point.\n\nThe train conductor had told people either to go home or take the F-train right across the platform. I was one of those people and took the F-train to Chambers street, three blocks from where the towers were hit.\n\nWhen I came up from the subway stairs, it was total grid-lock. Hundreds of thousands of people were crammed around the subway, on the streets. Traffic was non-existant, which was a fete in itself in this city. It seemed like everyone and their mother was on their cell phones, telling their loved ones what they were seeing.  They were all looking up at the same thing: The Burning towers.\n\nI couldn't believe it was that bad. Then I rushed over to the front my school, which is right across from City Hall NYC, and I bumped into a couple of friends. They told me they saw people jumping from the buildings where they stood and that they were totally horrified by what they were seeing. \n\nI worked in my school Library at the time and after finding out bits and pieces of what happened from my buddies outside, I went to inside the library. I rushed in to see my supervisor, but she left because her kids go to school a couple of blocks from the towers. Apparently she panicked and left to find her children right away.\n\nI went to speak to my co-workers and they told me at the time that the Pentagon got hit and some other plane that crashed (which was later found out to be United 93). And I was so freakin' shocked, it was unbelievable.... This was a plot. An actual terrorist plot.\n\nThen that's when it hit me: my aunt works in one of the towers and from there I was in FULL panic mode. \n\nI left the library to catch my breath and from there I wanted to call my dad to tell him what was going on and wanted ask him if heard anything from Auntie Rose(his sister), but couldn't get any service. \n\nThere was a huge-@ss line for use of the public phones for that very reason: Apparently, the lines were so busy that service got cut off.\n\nThen came the most horrible sounds and shaking I won't ever forget. I was like a Richter 10 earthquake the way the building shook. And all of a sudden you heard blood curdling screams and a huge bum rush of people scrambling for their lives. \n\nI was nearly frantic. I didn't know what was going on, so I ran down the other side of the lobby where there were glass windows which allowed you see exactly what was going on outside:  A massive smoke came from all directions of the streets, engulfing everything and everyone around it. It was quite the most horrifying scene I've ever witnessed. \n\nPeople were rushing down the streets in droves, but they couldn't outrun whatever the hell that was engulfing them.\n\nAll I could remember saying at the time, frozen at that very spot, was "Oh....My ...God. Oh, my f**kin' god."  For fear that something was going to crash through the windows, I ran like I never did in my life down the lobby (almost breaking my ankle) and raced down the stairs to the basement area.\n\nFrom there, things became a lot clearer: One of the towers had collapsed...and when I heard that, I couldn't believe it. No one could....  \n\nThe area was packed with students, professors and the security guards tried calming shocked and scared people, telling them  either to head to the basketball courts, which would serve as a make shift bomb-shelter in the Sub-level or for those who wanted to take a chance and run for it acroos the Brooklyn Bridge, were on their own.\n\nIt was one of the hardest decisions

Still a little in shock and such over the event. I was at my school (high school at the time) waiting for a class to start. The class clown of our grade, Sean, walked in saying his dad just called and said something about [I don't remember what he said exactly]. We all told him stop kidding. We then got the announcement over the PA of what had happened. I think at that time both towers were hit. We got to go home early. My dad worked in NYC but nowhere near there. As for people who passed on, a co-worker of my dad's wife was in one of the tower's on one of the floors that was directly hit. Her name is Laura Longing.

The total Ke is the same as the work done by both the jets and the catapult.  Since the jets did \n2.1*10^5 * 87 = 18,270,000J and the total Ke is 4.5*10^7J then the catapult must have done\n4.5*10^7 - 1.827*10^7 = 2.673*10^7 Joules of work on the aircraft.\n\n\nDoug

This is an estimation and it varies.  The higher the altitude, the larger the blast radius but it is usually around 15 to 20 miles.\n\n\nHowever, the largest Nuclear Weapon ever detonated, the Tsar Bomba, was such a large explosion, it could have cause Third-Degree Burns at over 60 miles away.  Its seismic shock was large enough to be detected on its third trip around the earth The effect could be felt at over 600 miles away and was still visible at that distance.\n\nAren't they fun?

A plane hit it like the one that hit the WTC..Thats all NO cover-up simple

What's the full sentence?\n\nIt's probably something like "The plane flew 10240 kilometres (6362 miles) before he remembered to put on his seatbelt."\n\nIt just converts the kilometres to miles for people who are more familiar with miles than kilometres.

I have been across the Triangle many times in both boats and planes. I never observed anything different. There are many scheduled flights across it every day.  One of the reasons for so many stories is that there is such a huge amount of air and shipping traffic across this area.

It happened on Mount Washington, NH -  231 mph on April 12, 1934.\nThis is the actual measured surface wind speed - tornadoes produce wind speeds this high but are not directly measured (they are approximated by doppler radar) so they do not count for this record.\n-This is a world record as well as a US record.

check for the plane at your local hobby shop.  if its not there then check the internet.  i do that and order them through my hobby shop.

It's questionable. It seems it was hit with some sort of missile. The story is supposedly that an airplane hit it, but the resulting hole is too small and there is no evidence of plane. The government says the explosion was so hot it burned the evidence, but how come the bodies and other things around weren't burned? It's one of the many questionable topics of 9/11 (like how the twin towers free-fell to the earth??) that are explored in the video below.

what a load of poo!!\n\nThe hoaxster is apparently quite willing to bend the truth to fit the story. Flight 77 was carrying 64 people not 65 as claimed in the email. The message also claims that Flight 77 hit the Twin Towers. However, Flight 77 crashed into the Pentagon, not the World Trade Center. \n\nIn addition, the email states that the "total number of victims inside all the hi-jacked planes was 254". However, this is untrue. Various reliable sources concur that the total number of people on the hijacked planes was 265 (see Data Table below). If you subtract the 19 hijackers, the total number of victims on the planes (passengers and crew) was 246 not 254. Neither 265 nor 246 add up to eleven.\n\n\nThe second part of the message claims that Chapter 9 Verse 11 (9.11) of the Islamic holy book the Quran contains a startling prophecy presumably related to the US invasion of Iraq. However, research indicates that the quoted verse does not appear in the Quran at all. Chapter 9 Verse 11 of the Quran is concerned with repentance and charity. Other translations may differ slightly in wording but carry essentially the same message. None make mention of the "wrath of the Eagle" or any other elements contained in the "verse" quoted in the message.\n\nCertainly, this combination of symbols is likely to make even the most cynical readers do a double take when they first observe it. However, a minimal amount of research reveals that the Wingdings claim is based on an outrageous lie and therefore has no validity what so ever. None of the planes involved in the 9/11 attacks had the flight number "Q33 NY". The flight numbers of the planes that crashed into the Twin Towers were in fact "11" and "175". Clearly, someone has simply made up this supposed flight number in an attempt to make the spurious claim seem valid. \n\nThere is more at the link\nhttp://www.hoax-slayer.com/wingdings-911.html

Khrushchev warned in a filmed speech to the Communist parliament of the existence of a 100 Mt bomb. \nThe Bomb called the Tsar was dropped from a TU 95 at a height of 10.500 metres using a parachute drop.The fireball touched the ground, reached nearly as high as the altitude of the release plane10,500 metres, and was seen 1,000 km away. The heat could have caused third degree burns at a distance of 100 km. The subsequent mushroom cloud was about 60 km high and 30–40 km wide. The explosion could be seen and felt in Finland, even breaking windows there.[citation needed] Atmospheric focusing caused blast damage up to 1,000 km away. The seismic shock created by the detonation was measurable even on its third passage around the earth.
