Is anybody else listening to that woman on FNC? IIRC she said the plane seemed to level off just before it went behind the high-rise.......????
Latest FNC "expert" said the plane may have stalled and the leveling off is taught to pilots but in NYC this happens .......
To: Yossarian
I pray this was an accident, but terrorists do seem to have a fixation with the 11th lately.
Sept 11th 2001--US
March 11th 2004--Spain
July 11th 2006--India
Oct 11th 2006--??

Drudge headline said "No reason to suspect terrorism" (or something to that effect). Now just how do they know that?I don't think they are saying that they "know" anything, they are just saying that at this point there is "no reason to suspect...".

Yes, but aviation fuel is considered hazardous. It should be all over the place.

It's happening at 524 E. 72nd Street and York Ave. (New York - WABC, October 11, 2006) - The FDNY has confirmed that a helicopter flying in an exclusion airspace crashed into an Upper East Side building Wednesday afternoon.
Several windows of an apartment were blown out in an apartment building at the Belaire building on 524 East 72nd Street, between York and East End Avenue.
Eyewitness News' Shannon Sohn was in Newscopter 7, watching the raging fire that sent a pillar of black smoke over the city. There was no immediate word on any deaths or injuries.
The Belaire is a high rise building near the Hospital for Special Surgery. A fire was reported on the 41st floor after the crash. FDNY crews are on the scene working to put the blaze out.
The New York City Red Cross said it is mobilizing and heading to the scene.
The incident's affecting traffic: The MTA says bus service in the area will experience reroutes and delays.

Bernie Karik on Fox now. Says police will go to level 3 which brings police in from the outlying areas. They will remain on high alert until they are convinced this isn't terrorism. Says they will assume they will lose everything above the strike zone and concern will be to get people out who are trapped.

Wow big fire. I'm surprised it didn't make a bigger hole in the building. Looks like it only effected parts of two floors.

It doesn't even sound as big as a commuter plane. Sounds like a private general aviation plane. If it was bigger, we'd have a larger explosion. So far, let's just hope the fire fighters can get in there.

LOL: Nope they're back to it being a "small fixed wing plane" which was told to them by FAA... witnesses described either a helicopter or they don't know.

I hate speculation. We sound more like DU than they do when something unusual occurs.
Everyone needs to keep their wits and let things unfold. We'll know soon enough what's up, and until then NO ONE KNOWS ANYTHING!
To: TexasPatriot8
They allow small planes to fly over the city?

Any nutjob can call himself a terrorist; that doesn't make him one.

Mechanical failure? You started up higher and came crashing down?

Oh I agree. On Loony Place, they're convinced Bush was behind Sept. 11th.
