My wife's family lives in Breezy Pt. She just got a call from them. The plane went down near 129th Street which is quite a way from JFK. Parts of that area have some large apartment buildings but it sounds like it hit near the single family home area. I hope there there aren't many casualties on the ground and hopefully some survivors on the plane. (this is one time to hope for an empty plane).
Just read a report ( ABC News) that the plane was "taking off for Santo Domingo". Full load of fuel. Not good at all.
So glad to hear about your wife's' family.
