Rush reports that a Cessna has been reported as crashing into (at least one) apartment complex in NYC Mannhattan's upper east side - on East 71st Street.
Nope. They didn't say. I would suppose they wouldn't list them to keep the terrorists (if any) guessing. If they listed them, the terrorists (if any) would go to those cities with un-patrolled airspace.
We're on the same page. The only reason I posted is there seemed to be confusion on the thread concerning what a stall is. No question airspeed across the wing influences stall angle thus there's a stall speed even for lightly loaded level wings. Too high an angle of attack can be overcome by airspeed to the point of ballistic flight, no need for wings. I don't claim to be an expert on this issue, but have messed around with some aeronautical designing. Sounds like you love things that fly too.
EXCEPT in NYC. They don't even have one. That's what is weird.
Bo Dietl is on Fox, and is talking like someone from the Sopranos about deese Piper Cubs and closing down the VFR corridor.
What a Horses Ass, he is going to make Phil Boyer's Job at AOPA a nightmare.
when we find out their names, their backgrounds - we'll know.
I am the Gummy Master.
Yeah but this isn't Spain. If this is confirmed as terrorism, the Republicans are all but assured control of Congress, which, as I stated earlier, makes the terrorists who (would have) done this pretty darned stupid.
I keep on hearing its a helo. Any pictures of the plane?
How exactly do you know that it hit the building dead-center? So far we have at least 4 witnesses that say it did not, but hit at an angle.
Clouds of black smoke are pouring from a factory in South St. Paul right now, filling the sky.
The fire is at 275 Bridgeport Dr., just south of downtown St. Paul. It started around 2 p.m. Several emergency vehicles are on the scene, including pollution control and chemical response teams.

I totally agree. It is the place I would go if I needed any sort of ortho or neuro surgery. Pedro Martinez just had his rotator cuff surgery there last Thursday.
I doubt it. Still trying to figure out why a small plane was flying between buildings, as ABC local news reported from witness accounts on the ground. Weird!
Thx.
Exactly. A dead center hit into the building too. Just too coincidental. Nearing a major airport's airspace, etc. The authorities are finding out now pretty much who was involved and fabricating a lie for the public.
Dietl is a NYer, he supposed to talk like that.
Yep.
...until it does.
His name was Bishop, but he was of Arabic descent (the name had been 'Americanized')
See post 1095, they mention the kid's real name.
