Everyone, stop the repeated posts. Yes it was an AA767, yes 4 houses burned.

STOP THE RUMOR AND BS POSTS.

Keep bandwidth open for FACTS, nor rumors!

Read before you post.

In that case it was an Airbus A300 not a 767

I'll throw another one into the mix here. Local radio news is reporting it as an A300, not a 767. First time I have heard this.

Dear MindBender26:

FAA now reporting it was an Airbus 320 on departure. Do your posting rules permit publication of this new info?

re; STOP THE RUMOR AND BS POSTS.

I say, steady on, Old Son. If we are all posting at the same time during a major breaking story there will be a few repeats. It's Jim's bandwidth, not yours.

I've got pals over that way and am extremely worried right now. OK?

WHAT REPEATED POSTS?!. I posted ONCE!. PLEASE READ ALL THE WORDS.

According to American it was an Airbus 300 outward bound for the Dominican. Fl 587.Callers to WPIX report an explosion in or around an engine and plane nosedived into Rockaway. The area is known as Belle Harbor/Neponsit. I believe it's St. Francis de Sales Parish. Breezy point is about 3 miles west at the western tip of the Rockaways.

So far no witnesses claim to have seen a missile trail so it may be that this is an old fashioned plane crash, though that's not much consolation for the familes of those in the air or on the ground. The last thing St. Francis de Sales needs is more funerals.
