When in trouble,
Or in doubt,
Run and holler,
Scream and shout!

Folks, Please! Wait until some REAL information is forthcoming. So far I have heard virtually NOTHING factual about the plane, the cockpit communications, whether is was in or out bound, etc.

Am hearing conflicting panic on FOX, of all sources.

Now they are saying it was an Airbus.

The chances of it being terrorist driven are slim.

[Dustbunny]

I can't stop crying, I fear it is terrorists and that many people have died again. Am praying for all and their families.

When are we going to start cancelling passports and visas and expelling the these people from our country.

I am sick and tired of being nice to these very evil people.

Giuliani live on WINS Radio, NY: There are apparently two crash sites, one where the engine hit, one where the rest of the plane hit.

Another eyewitness account from a female resident of Bell Harbor, Rockaway: Plane suddenly exploded in the air.

[lds23]

Prayers go out for the victims and their families.

Too bad all the partisan politicians (e.g., hillary and bill) were just beginning to come out of the woodwork, and going back to business-as-usual. When will these scumbags realize we're at war?

[playball]

WABC 770 reporting all bridges and tunnels closed. All train service closed! NYC lockdown!

[Walkin Man]

FAA - No indication of a terrorist act. The Air Force had Fighters in the area and were not called, did not shoot down the jet.

This from the Today Show. Four buildings on the ground on fire.

Because it JUST happened. Do you know a web site that's faster than Free republic on posting breaking news?

It's on Fox News Channel right now--Neal Cavuto reporting live. I'm sure they'll update their site when they get a chance.

Not a Boeing. Now it's being told that the plane was on take off and it was an air bus. No indication of terrorism.

The security at JFK is pathetic, but hopefully this is just a coincidence.

No thanks, I'll drive!
