Then a few seconds' pause, and finally: "Oh my God, we are way too low!" The phone went dead at 8:46 a.m. as the Boeing 767 jetliner hit the tower in the first of four crashes by hijacked jetliners that day.

Brothers Keenen Ivory, Damon, Shawn and Marlon Wayans put down a $150,000 security deposit and signed a negotiating agreement last week to develop 70 acres of vacant land, said family spokeswoman Kay Carney. The City Council voted eight months ago to give the family exclusive rights to analyze the site for possible development. The agreement was delayed to accommodate the brothers' busy schedules and negotiations with lawyers over the deal, Carney said. The next step is to analyze the site and develop more specific plans, Carney said. The brothers have talked of building high-end retail stores and a luxury hotel in addition to the studio and theme park. 8 9 5 5 9 2 4 3 3 7 2 4 1 6 8 2 do ku 7 5 SU 7 6 5 3 4 8 9 3 Answers can be found on the website at www.sudoku.com.
