"My first impression was that they'd hit us with a nuclear bomb. I figured it was just like the World Trade Center. And I watched that burn from the (Jamaica) bay."

What's interesting here is not what this guy said- after all, he's talking off the top of his head, trying to get his thoughts together, fine. But what about the reporter?

"My first impression was that they'd hit us with a nuclear bomb. I figured it was just like the World Trade Center.

Why is this line here? He thinks this was a nuclear strike, just like the WTC???? What possible sense does this make? Miles away from where Eugene Sanfilippo stood, at the edge of a new Ground Zero, a mayor, a president's spokesman and a slew of FAA officials were urging us to think "accident." But they were not standing in Rockaway Beach.

Nor were they standing in Ulan Bator, nor sitting in Fiji, nor reclining in Ultima Thule- so Ph^qing what? What does that have to do with the veracity of their statements?

To look into Eugene Sanfilippo's eyes was to see there were no coincidences.

Why does the look in ES eyes, a guy who apparently thinks the WTC was the result of a nuclear strike, have anything to do with whether or not this was a conincidence?

This may well have been a terrorist strike- I have no idea. But this kind of stuff makes me want to gouge my eyes out of my head and run naked, screaming, down the street. Idiots. And what's worse, idiots who, to the best of my knowledge, are capable of procreating. Apes.

Idiot reporter.

Explosion way forward of wing/engine line... so the vertical stabilizer, at the opposite end of the A/C comes off!!!! His news room is probably proud of him for his deathless prose!

Anyone wonder what I mean about idiot reporters assuming opinion and delivering it as fact!

He obviously did not mean that the WTC was a nuke, he meant that he thought this was a terrorist attack. Give these people a break, they have been through a lot of horror lately.
The media was going right along with this too, you know, when it happened, speculating about it being a terrorist attack.
Personally, I don't understand why some of you are getting so upset with other peoples opinions. It is natural for those in the area to fear another attack, especially when we are being warned all of the time more are likely.
