NEW YORK/WASHINGTON, Sept 10 (Reuters) - Two hijacked planes crashed into major U.S. landmarks on Tuesday, destroying
New York's mighty statue of liberty and plunging the Pentagon in Washington into flames in an unprecedented assault on key symbols of U.S. military and financial power.
Loss of life was expected to be catastrophic from the collapse of the giant Pentagon, where some 13,000 people work.
President George W. Bush called the deliberate aerial assaults an ``apparent terrorist attack,'' and ordered a full-scale investigation. Early speculation about the source of the attack centered on Saudi-born guerrilla leader Osama Bin-Laden.
