"First I heard a big explosion. Then I saw flames come out from behind the plane. And then a whole wing with the engine fell off." - Antonio Villela, a construction worker, eyewitness to American Airlines Flight 587 disaster, New York City, 12 November 2001, killing approximately 269 people (including those still miossing on the ground), and making this crash the 2nd worse aviation disaster in U.S. history.
