literally fell down. i couldn t i could not i couldn t grasp that. i just couldn t. to think about the possible loss of life that just occurred by the collapse of that southeastern tower is just amazing. i was thinking how many people are trapped. we thought the numbers were huge. we didn t know how many had gotten out. and it was terrifying. when the building collapsed, it was a different emotion that swept through the studio, i think. there was this incredible sadness for what we knew was just a monumental loss of life. but there was also i think an anger. it made me sick to my stomach, and it made me angry. i think as i looked around the studio, those looks of horror and the tears changed in that instant. and there was this look of anger. hello, everybody. i m betty nguyen. here is what is happening. the two nfl team owners assisting with the probe into the handling of the ray rice one, two, three o clock. four o clock pop.
something else just hit. a very large plane just flew directly over my building and there has been another collision. can you see it. i can see it on the shot. something else. we just saw a plane circling the building. i don t remember ever having seen an explosion like that. i knew how big those buildings were, i mean, they were massive. the idea that something could hit the southern side of that tower and create that kind of fire ball coming out on the northern side, blew my mind. it just, it took, it took, a while to even register with me. jennifer, did you see this happen? matt, i have never seen anything, it looks like a movie. i saw a large plane, like a jet go immediately headed directly into the world trade center. it just flew into it, into the other tower coming from south to north. i watched the plane fly into the world trade center. the instant that second plane hit that second tower the looks that were exchanged in that studio were chilling.
i could not, i couldn t grasp that. i just couldn t. to think about the possible loss of life that just occurred by the collapse of the southeastern tower is just amazing. i was thinking how many people are trapped. we thought the numbers were huge. we didn t know how many had gotten out, and it was terrifying. when the building collapsed, it was a different emotion that swept through the studio. there was an incredible sadness for what we knew was, a monumental loss of life. but there was also i think an anger. it made me sick to my stomach and made me angry. i think as a looked around the studio, those looks of horror and and the tears changed in that instant. and there was this look of anger. that new phone thrill again and again.
in know wo of the towers and the other building is on fire. the scene is incredible. people are out of the office buildings and watching and crying and taking pictures. i have never seen anything like this. you saw the first plane. did you get a glimse of what kind of plane that was? we are told it was a commuter plane. it was a mid-sized plane and we could hear it low. a couple of us looked at each other thinking what s happening? it went through the buildings and into the upper floors of the world trade center tower. we want to mention when the impact hit the first tower, we hope that people were in the second tower were beginning to evacuate especially if air traffic control had an indication that this was deliberate, we hope they got
but this country, the strongest country in the world, has been the target of a major coordinated terrorist attack. and the end is not over yet. even if it s confined to just these three targets, the ripple effect goes on. all air traffic has been shut down. there will be no financial markets in place today. business has been stopped across the country. and of course who knows the human toll that will be the result of this action. matt and i matt actually just pointed out to me on any given day 50,000 people tom, work at the world trade center. and at 8:45 in the morning if they re not in the building they re around the building. that s a beehive of activity down there. there is no more active area in terms of pedestrian traffic. if you consider that this plane hit at midstructure and it would have probably taken out the electrical in the building where elevators wouldn t work and people struggling to get some way out of that tower and it takes a long time to come
