6.32am

The sun rises over New York, New York, as people go about their business. The day appears to be like any other; there was little cloud, a slight wind (8.77 mph). It was around 66.2°F in the morning, but would get as high as 80.6°F as the day went on.

Everthing was perfectly normal in New York.

Outside of New York, around 50 terrorists are beginning their sequence of attacks on America.

LA Times:

"The attackers, who carried Middle Eastern passports, belonged to four independent cells, said law enforcement and intelligence officials. Not all of the members were hijackers, the officials said, and authorities kept the nation’s airports closed to commercial traffic for a second day partly to prevent the conspirators from fleeing the country."
