Fox NYC reports two construction worker saw plane trying to avoid hitting the building and make it to the river (it was flying west to east). My latest opinion: tragic accident. Spoil sport. Come on now, think of Sinatra...
When a plane hits the side
of NY high rise
That's a muslim...

Judging by that fire, he still had plenty of gas. Which doesn't necessarily mean that it was getting to the engine properly, of course.
The words "Thurman Munson" are coming to mind right now, possibly.

Okay -judging by content, I'd say this is terrorism. Definitely pro-Muslim terrorism! Does terrorism have to be 'big'? Would not many small attacks terrorize people?
Why an apartment building when there are many more important targets within a mile or two of there?
Does '1' small constitute 'many' small?

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. To be expected from a blowhard thug like Bo Dietl. What's worse is the retard pilot correspondant that fox has on talking about "tightening up those flight paths..." Bo Dietl and Rep King thrive on bossing people around and "saving the day!" The reality is that they can bully GA pilots and hold them out as the bad guy with no real risk. AOPA has what, 400,000 members? big deal. Is there a more real terror threat from a bad guy renting an apartment and turning on the gas w/o pilot? yes. How about renting a Ryder truck and blowing it up? i think that one has been done before. Are these blowhards genuinely interested in "protecting the public" 1st and foremost? not a chance. They're all creeps, as are the tv news critters.

The 59th Street heliport is the closest I think. Maybe he Its raining now. But he must have had some sort of mechanical failure because you can't miss any of the buildings.

Yes, and I am sure if this does turn out to be terrorism then they will say he did not respond quickly enough.

Would a "fuel problem" affect the control surfaces of the aircraft? One would think that if he had any control of the aircraft what so ever...he would have tried to ditch in the East River or something...anything other than hitting the building dead on...

Dean Martin, not Sinatra. That was his biggest hit.
