I know quite a bit about numerology, so I bet it will be just because it's Ollie! I loved his previous books, and now this new one jumped on my 'wishlist' to the top 5 :) Thanks!.

Yeah, but they should give him a segment where he can go into detail. Rushed as it was it sounded wierd.

I don't believe so, but with the big sprawl of NYC, small craft have to skirt the city, and if it was a rudder or hydraulics or some other problem, it wouldn't be hard for a plane of that kind to veer over NYC and hit one of the many hundreds of 20+ story buildings. And that high rise apartment was a big one. I'd hate to have to avoid that building in a plane that wasn't responsive. And something might have happened to the pilot in flight that rendered him unconscious or dead; heart attack, stroke, etc. Wouldn't be the first time, and if the plane was not being controlled, gradually veering and drifting to one side, an impact of this kind would make perfect sense. Just throwing things out there that occur to me. This looks MUCH MORE like an accident at this point. As serious as it is for the people there who were in the building, it's a 0.5 on the "oh s**t" scale compared to the 7.0 that was 9-11-01, with a 10.0 being a nuclear explosion.

MSM is milking this. IMHO. Copy cat nuts will soon start coming out of the woodwork.

There's no way I can read every post in here, so my apologies if this has already been posted.

Write down today's date on a piece of paper: 10/11/6

Turn the paper upside down.

There's every chance that this is not terrorism, folks. Don't forget Milan 2001. USA Today

If this were a terrorist attack, they'd be more interested in targeting Shea Stadium, not an apartment building where most people are out at work...

That's a good point.

My gut feeling is that this isn't terror related.

If it is though, the terrorists are even dumber than they look. A terror attack now would "seal the deal" as far as keeping Republican control of both Houses. I can already hear the conspiracy theorist's mental wheels turning.

Even the reporterette stressed it was a rumor. Too off the wall not to mention it here. :o\

Possible it was hit on the way to the UN Building? People make mistakes when they are doing something extremely hazardous like this. A quick look at the gps and blam.

I was wondering if it's the Texas Air National Guard out of Ellinton...the F-2's...Air National Guard doesn't fly those and neither does the Air Force?

I understand you're reporting what you copied on this thread but??? can someone tell me?

that the same condescending attitude the NTSB has - "oh, eyewitnesses are all unreliable" - therefore, we don't have to believe anything they say, they are all instantly discredited. let's move on to the CIA re-enactment of the center fuel tank explosion, the first of its kind on a 747 anywhere.

The story that disappeared was the one about the business guy in Italy who crashed a plane in a suicide dive.

Charles Bishop/Bishra's crash was suppressed. His suicide note made a threat against the Super Bowl and did not surface in the media until after the big football game had passed.

Exactly. And looking back at pictures of WTC really stresses the magnitude of the initial impact there, by a commercial jet, versus this Cirrus.

I just love that little plane. Lots of headroom in the cockpit.
