A Worse 9/11: A Collaborative TL

Mass casualty event occurs. Many US Senators and Representatives are killed. Depending upon losses states might hold emergency elections within a month or two to replace representatives/senators.


Edit: Didn't realize this was collaborative TL. Think that means I need some sleep.

It's a collaborative TL, meaning that anyone can post updates about what happens next.
 
Oh oops. Didn't realize this was a collaborative Time Line. I think that means it's time for me to head off to bed before I further embarrass myself. I'll have to give this one some thought though. It does sound interesting.

Of the originally planned ten US hijackings, only eight are being attempted - four east coast flights, three west coast flights, and one targeting Chicago. (1) While many commercial airliners have not yet landed, there are twenty-seven suspected to be in the hands of hijackers. (2) And of those, the flights that have actually been hijacked are: KAL Flight 85 (Seoul to JFK international), Delta Flight 1989 (Boston Logan to LAX), UAL Flight 23 (JFK to LAX), and NWA Flight 197 (Lansing to Minneapolis). (3)

OOC: All OOC notes are based on what I recall.

(1) IIRC, ten was the original plan, five east coast and five west. Just as plans changed OTL, they've changed differently here.
(2) Increased from the eleven OTL due to a greater number if actual hijackings.
(3) All of these were suspected hijackings in the first hours OTL.

KAL Flight 85 is directed towards the Sunshine 60 Building. This attack on Japan would raise the possibility that Al-Qaeda had ties to North Korea as the North Korean government applauds the attack on the "Japanese imperialists".

It is confirmed that 6 Senators and 42 Representatives are dead and 12 Senators and 65 Representatives are wounded after the attack on Congress.

In the United Kingdom, multiple suicide bombings, shootings and stabbings occur.

By now, many US flights have been diverted to Canada. An off course hijacked plane originally headed for Detroit crashes into downtown Windsor, killing 480 people. As is the case in the UK, shootings and stabbings occur.

Similar events occur all over Western Europe

Bombings in Kuwait near Bayan Palace and the American Embassy targets American diplomatic officials and the Kuwaiti Royal Family. A few hours later a bombing in Souq Al Mubarakiya, the oldest market in Kuwait kills scores of people.

The Emir is calling for martial law. This was the worst series of attacks on Kuwaiti soil since the Gulf War.

OOC: Nope, won't work.
(1) At this point, the flight is on it's Alaska to LAX leg.
(2) It was already stated that the attacks were only east coast, west coast, and Chicago.

Advisor:
"Mr. President, a fraction of Congress is dead. Planes have been flown into the World Trade Center. There have been attacks in the Kingdom. Kuwait is under attack. Europe is in the worst state since the Second World War. Thousands are dead, thousands more will be."

Pres. Bush: "Get the forces ready. This could end humanity as we know it, but we need to protect ourselves."

Pres Bush loses faith in the Role of America as a beacon of Liberty and begins plans to invade Afghanistan where the Taliban is hiding Bin Laden and replace it with another dictatorship. Except this time beholden to American Interests.
