NEW YORK, 11:10 a.m. EDT September 11, 2001 -- Two planes crashed into the upper floors of both World Trade Center towers minutes apart Tuesday in what President Bush said was an apparent terrorist attack, blasting fiery, gaping holes in the 110-story buildings. There was no immediate word on deaths or injuries.
An aircraft has also crashed into the Pentagon. Surveillance military planes are flying above Washington D.C. right now, and federal officials anticipate another hijacked plane is headed toward the Pentagon as well.
Both towers of the World Trade Center have collapsed.
The Federal Aviation Administration has shut down all aircraft takeoffs nationwide. Any inbound plane to New York City that was already in the air is being diverted to Canada.
The White House was evacuated Tuesday after the Secret Service received credible threat information about a terrorist act against the presidential mansion and residence, The Associated Press has learned. A car bomb has also exploded at the state department.

The president ordered a full-scale investigation to "hunt down the folks who committed this act."
"I saw people jumping out of windows, the building just blew up, people just kept jumping and jumping and jumping and you can see that they were alive because they were just flailing," one New York witness said.
Witnesses say they saw bodies falling from the trade center.
CNN reports that the two hijacked planes were American Airlines 767s that were from Boston.
According to ABC News, one of the flights was American Airlines flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles.
In Washington, officials said the FBI was investigating reports of a plane hijacking before the crashes.
The twin disasters at the World Trade Center happened shortly before 9 a.m. and then right around 9 a.m.
Heavy black smoke billowed into the sky above the gaping holes in the side of the twin towers, one of New York City's most famous landmarks, and debris rained down on the street, one of the city's busiest work areas. When the second plane hit, a fireball of flame and smoke erupted, leaving a huge hole in the glass and steel tower.
John Axisa, who was getting off a PATH train to the World Trade Center, said he saw "bodies falling out" of the building. He said he ran outside, and watched people jump out of the first building, and then there was a second explosion, and he felt heat on the back of neck.
WCBS-TV, citing an FBI agent, said five or six people jumped out of the windows. People screamed every time another person leaped.
David Reck was handing out literature for a candidate for public 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."
People ran down the stairs in panic and fled the building. Thousands of pieces of what appeared to be office paper came drifting over Brooklyn, about three miles away.
Within the hour, an aircraft crashed on a helicopter landing pad near the Pentagon, and the West Wing of the White House was evacuated amid threats of terrorism. And another explosion rocked New York about an hour after the crash. All federal office buildings in Washington have been evacuated.
Federal officials fear that another hijacked plane is heading toward the Pentagon.
"Today we'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 Washington.
Hospitals in New York are being flooded with people who are wanting to donate blood.
Terrorist bombers struck the World Trade Center in February 1993, killing six people and injuring more than 1,000 others.
"A second occurrence is just beyond belief," said Ira Furber, former National Transportation Safety Board spokesman.
Several subway lines were immediately shut down Tuesday. Trading on Wall Street was suspended.
"We heard a large boom and then we saw all this debris just falling," said Harriet Grimm, who was inside a bookstore on the World Trade Center's first floor when the first explosion rocked the building.
"The plane was coming in low and ... it looked like it hit at a slight angle," said Sean Murtagh, a CNN vice president, the network reported.
In 1945, an Army Air Corps B-25, a twin-engine bomber, crashed into the 79th floor of the Empire State Building in dense fog.
In Florida, Bush was reading to children in a classroom at 9:05 a.m. when his chief of 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.
Country On High Alert
Authorities went on alert from coast to coast Tuesday, halting all air traffic, evacuating high-profile buildings and tightening security at strategic facilities following the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
Evacuations were ordered at the United Nations building in New York and at the Sears Tower in Chicago.
"Usually the building is so full of activity, and now there's no one in the hallways. It's creepy," said Cathy Grable, a 31-year-old interior designer who was leaving the Sears Tower.
Security was increased at Fort Detrick in Frederick, Md., home to the Army's main germ warfare defense laboratory.
Spokesman Charles Dasey said police at the gates were stopping cars without identification stickers and might search even those with stickers.
In California, Gov. Gray Davis convened a meeting of the State Emergency Council and requested heightened security in all state buildings.
In Los Angeles, the police went on tactical alert, and mobilized an anti-terrorist division. A tactical alert means officers are held over from the earlier shift to bolster the day shift and police only respond to priority calls.
In Virginia, authorities ordered intensified security at the port complex in Hampton Roads and imposed a lockdown of offices at the Capitol.
Under orders from the Federal Aviation Administration, airports nationwide halted all outbound flights, while keeping their runways open for incoming planes.
"We're like everyone else, in shock," said Carol Windham, spokesman at Birmingham International Airport in Alabama.
