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.

Wow, that's about an hours drive from here.

[evets]

"ELEVEN!"

"I predict a federally funded puppet show at Lincoln Center before the month is out."

Ok, this thread could go to the 63K post limit and no one is going to beat that line.

Been studying for your SATs? ;)

Exactly...cover ups on clintoons' watch...major cover up on TWA800...it was a terrorist attack...since bildabeast couldn't find a way to blame it on an American Terrorist, he elected to cover it up when it was a middle eastern terrorist. Is that why the led investigator [FBI] quit soon after the investigation was over?

The kid who flew into a building in Tampa was a suicide bomber. He left behind a suicide note which reflected sympathy with Al Qaeda, as I recall.

Right, his mother changed their name from Bishra to Bishop because she had gotten nervous over it. Parents were separated (divorced). Some details about dad did surface in the days following the plane crash.

I heard somebody say it came in from the north...can that really be right? It seemed like it hit it dead on too.

[NinoFan]

Good analysis. But that note was from a crash that happened several years ago. People were just debating what really happened there.

[Strategerist]

Eyewitnesses of ALL kinds are notoriously unreliable, something proven over and over again in all sorts of legal cases, and easily demonstrated in a variety of psychological experiments.

People want to believe otherwise, of course, because it's deeply unsettling, and people get their knowledge of the issue from TV programs and movies, where eyewitnesses are ALWAYS reliable unless they're deliberately lying.

And there have been four center fuel tank explosions on airliners..including other Boeing designs. Commercial airline accidents are rare in and of themselves and the fact it's only happened once on a 747 specifically in no way bears on whether it actually happened or not.

[Rutles4Ever]

Well, if the pilot was driving a car and not flying a plane, you might be correct. Something tells me he wasn't consulting Google mapmaker for his flight plan.

[oceanview]

there is no constitutional right to fly your private plane over manhattan.

Saw a taxpayer funded PBS rant yesterday on Frontline about how all talk of domestic terrorism is overblown. They question whether they is any presence of "real" Al Qaeda operatives in the US.

I have no doubt they are here. This is just too small for Al Qaeda, IMO. We'll see though. Keep all involved in prayer!

"This is also the day that the billionth Gummy Bear was sold, so they will be coming to life and attacking convience stores all over the world at midnight."

They started celebrating early.

[deport]

read upthread, the kid was an islamo-sympathizer.

Yep had a note supporting Osama Bin Laden if I remember correctly.

"Would not many small attacks terrorize people? "

So far two are dead. They could buy an AK 47 and couple banana clips and kill 10 times that easily and not even get caught or die.

This is most likely and accident.

[weegee]

That was Charles Bishop's letter from the 2001 plane crash, not today's crash.

[VRWCTexan]

Probably about the same as the number of small aircraft pilots that suffer a massive stroke or heart-attack while in the air, and it results in a crash -

...just depends on what area you are over at the time as to who else gets hurt on the ground.

My only point is that it is too early to say with any level of certainty that this was a "planned" event.

[FarRightFanatic]

"..why fighter planes over major cities?....is that true?....or is it just CNN."


FOX radio newsbreak here in the Twin Cities (AM1280) just reported fighter jets over NYC and Boston.

Airports on orange alert.
