The rubble at the scene of the World Trade Center collapse is filled with the sounds of “PASS devices,” or emergency signals attached to firefighters when they are no longer moving.

This is just coming in: there appears to be a major fire on the upper floors of one of the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. Reports claim that a small plane, either a Cessna or a private jet, accidentally flew into the tower around the 80th floor, due to either an air traffic control communications error or a malfunction on the aircraft.

The FDNY confirms that no airborne rescue of the North Tower fire victims is possible, given the thick smoke rising from the building. They will have to find their own way down, or firefighters will have to fight through the flames to reach them. Meanwhile, in the relatively-undamaged South Tower, public address announcements continue to urge workers to return to their desks. Many congregate in the sky lobbies to discuss what to do next.
