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.

Poor NYer's. They have to go OUT at 5am to get a bagel when I can stay home and pop one into the toaster anytime.

LOL. I caught that. It's nice to be able to go get stuff when you want it, but you're right. My son's got a bag o'bagels right here in the fridge. No need to troll the streets at 5 am. : )

Then there's always the pilot who has a heart attack or whatever and his plane drifts until it makes impact with something.

Anyway, it is looking like an accident. But how terrible.

[Sacajaweau]

Atta sent a coded message to the bad dudes in Afghanistan days before 9-11. He said "two sticks and a cake with a stick hanging down". The two sticks represent the two towers and the order of operation. The cake with a stick hanging down was the capitol and the Capitol Mall.

Use Euro style dating. 11-9-01. Today is 11-10-06.

It's hard waiting for some "conclusion" on this plane incident.

[NonValueAdded]

A despondent Joe Torre took the plane then?

[conservative in nyc]

Yes. Cory Lidle. That's what WCBS-TV is reporting.

[Quix]

Making it sound like eye witnesses are never reliable and are always totally useless

is also

wholesale error, false.

[Moose4]

Whoa, for real? Wow.

I was thinking the same thing. The list prices of the condos for sale in that building may be adjusted shortly.

One of the DUmmie posts says that 10/11/06 is 9/11/01 upside down!! These people are nuts!

[S.S. Monkeyface]

I used to live just 4 blocks north of there!

[mojo114]

Yes, NBC channel 4 local NYC NBC channel stated that they had the tail numbers of the Cirrus and ran the numbers and that it is registered by an individual out of Lakeland, Florida. They did report the plane took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.

[Pukin Dog]

"avoid the buildings" ? They actually have to teach this ?

Okay, you try it.

Burn in 60 seconds or drown in 5 minutes?

Preference?

[Rutles4Ever]

It's very tempting to try and shade the facts to fit a terrorist plot - but really - if someone's got a small aircraft in New York on October 11, 2006, the target is a packed, 50,000 seat Shea Stadium about the time the home plate ump yells "Play Ball!", not a half-empty upper east side apartment.

[Strategerist]

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!
If on 9/12 2001 somone had posted on FR a prediction of the actual number and scale of Islamic terrorist attacks (and sorry nutters, you can't count the U of OK suicide bomber and Flt 587) in the United States in the next 5 years they would have been ridiculed/attacked right off the board for being hopeless Pollyannas.

It's abundantly clear there's no vast network of THOUSANDS of actual AQ operatives in the US as so many people want to believe.

[al baby]

has anyone seen Katie Couric her ratings are in the tank maybe she kamakazied into that buliding

[TankerKC]

Google map directions from Teterboro Airport to 71st and York. Doesn't look like an accident to me.

You know planes don't have to fly along roads, right?

[conservative in nyc]

Wasn't Torre. He's keeping his job.

[mnehring]

that must be proof Rove was behind it.. yea.. that's all the proof the DUmbasses need..

[weegee]

Right, I don't see this as an AQ act. Coordinated Cessnas in major metropolian areas would point to something bigger.

There were worries after 9-11 that they might use Cessnas to airdrop WMD (biological/chemical) over an area (cropdusting).

So far, the nature of domestic terrorism we have largely seen carried out in America has been of the "lone nut" variety, but then they are ALL nuts. So are Klan members.

We've had the anthrax attacks, the LAX Air Israel counter shooting, the DC sniper duo, and then potentially larger plots with the shoe bomber, Padellia's dirty bomb, the Brooklyn Bridge bombing (Koch has noted this one), the West Coast hijacking plot (President Bush has noted this one), the Chicago Sears Tower plot...

"CNN reporting that a mayday call may have been sent regarding a "fuel problem"

Well, it had enough gas to make it into the building.
