There was an "Incident" at JFK/America West Flight 17

And 22L=22R in the fourth paragraph.

There's nothing unusual in the PASSUR flight information.

Thank you conservative in nyc.

So, let me see if I understand this correctly, if there is nothing unusual in the PASSUR flight information; there probably was not a missile, because if there was it would show up on the PASSUR? Is that correct?

No. PASSUR wouldn't show a missile. Just airplanes.

AWE 17 didn't take any unusual evasive action on takeoff from JFK, as far as I can tell. And it didn't return to JFK.

The only quasi-strange turn occurred when it was far inland over New Jersey. But Thursday's weather was pretty bad in some places around here due to rain bands from Ophelia and a front coming in from the west, so it might have just been avoiding turbulence.

Thanks conservative in nyc.

That's probably the last question I have
regarding this alleged incident for awhile.

[Fresh Wind]

Sadly, this won't happen until after the next major terrorist attack, and maybe not even then.

[kublia khan]

good point

[Jet Jaguar]

Thanks for the ping. Not sure what to make of this yet.

If there was a real missile launched and it missed, the economic damage which would be done by widely publicising it would convert a failed terror operation into a highly successful one.

Also, the perps may not cover their tracks as thoroughly if they believe they are in the clear.

Good points! (I had thought of the first, but not the second.)

Not sure what to make of this yet.

This is the only sane comment on this thread. Everyone else just speculating without a single fact.

Incident could mean any number of things but it's more fun to bloviate, I guess.

Malkin just said an anonymous government official told her in was just birds. They must have been in town for the United Nations.

[Roccus]

Aaaahhh, now that makes sense! The snow geese have returned to the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. Nothing to see here, move along. (/s)

[mo]

yeah...only 5 posts before its W's fault!!!

[zlala]

After church bump.

No way was "it" a missle. A bird? Maybe. A missle? No. People think they see UFO's too. Including pilots.

In fact, I am so confident that this was not a missle, that I am willing to send my mother-in-law on multiple flights out of JFK.

[stockpirate]

I don't think this was not a real missle firing, these are former US Military personal, and I don't think they would mistake a flock of birds, which does not to my knowledge produce a vapor trail and has no fire coming out of it's butt.

I would like to hear what the witnesses viewed with their own eyes, which seems to be missing.

[stockpirate]

And the flight out of JFK where over 300 witnesses saw a missle leave the ground and strike the plane was not a missle firing!

It was hit by a flock of Bill Clinton appointee's trying to save his butt.

Excellent information and great points made. Thanks for posting.
