S.O.P..... This is not terror related, although no one knows what happened. Driver ran over 14 people in S.F. last month, declares he is a terrorist at arrest, MSM reports not terror related.

In my experience, multi engine small aircraft do not hit buildings dead center on accident.

One of the slimiest tricks is to announce "We have no evidence of terrorism." They just did this and Shep Smith is now saying "It's not terrorism" which is not the same thing. An honest person would say "We don't know."

Urgent Prayers for the trapped people..FReepers..

Father God, You are Creator of heaven and earth. We don't know what is going on right now, other than what we can see. You know everything, You've known it since before the creation of the world. We ask that You would comfort those who are affected directly by this accident and its aftermath. If there are those who are trapped, Lord, we ask for Your help in rescuing them. That's all we can do. Our words are inadequate, but Yours give life. Our best deeds are as filthy rags, but everything that You do is good and just.

And so we ask for Your hand on everyone who is addressing this now...the firefighters, the NY police, the citizens, the tenants, everyone, Lord, please bless them. Lord, please be with our President. Your Word says to pray for those who are in authority, and we ask for Your Spirit to give President Bush increased strength and wisdom in how to address this, and to deal with this.

Lord, we call out to You. We cry out to You. Please help us. And we thank You in advance for what You will do, and whether in plenty or want, in joy or sorrow, in any situation, we will bless Your name. In Christ's name, Amen.

Please...is the identify of the pilot or this transmission confirmed? It's still very early and we need to gather FACTS...accidents are STILL more likely than terrorists, especially of helicopter getting caught in wind gusts...

On FR, truth is rarely accepted. It is all about perceptions and agendas.

The Harry Reid Story just died.

The MSM will keep this on the front pages for the next four weeks. How long before Bush is blamed for not providing enough funding for first responders?

It was live on Imus' show. I heard the crash live. I believe it was on in the afternoon when Imus had a afternoon drive show.

From wikipedia:

On October 22, 1986, at 4:44 PM, while Dornacker was giving one of the station's N-Copter traffic reports, the helicopter plunged from an altitude of roughly 75 feet into the Hudson River. On her final radio broadcast she was giving a report of a tractor trailer and a car getting into an accident and a car fire. She also stated that the outbound Holland Tunnel was heavy with traffic and that the Lincoln Tunnel was much better with traffic and a car fire. Dornacker was starting her report for incoming New Jersey traffic when the helicopter stalled in mid broadcast.

Out of all the buildings in New York, why would a terrorist select some apartment building.

Donning tinfoil hat, clearing throat. . .

To Hide The Evidence!

See how easy it is?

Clarification: Until evidence to the contrary comes out, I'm calling this a terrible accident. I realize people are edgy, but my opinion is that wild-eyed theories really don't serve any productive purpose right now.

"How could you fly into a building of this size by accident?"

? Ask the guys who flew the bomber into the side of the Empire State Building just after WWII

I remember hearing that. I think her name was Jane Doornacker. It was horrible to listen to as it was going down and she was screaming to "hit the water".

The news media always fans the flames.

The family actually DID have some connections to the mafia, though.

SHH you're going to offend my fellow Italians!

It's extremely overcast in New York today, so I could understand a pilot not seeing the building, but what was he doing flying in an area of tall buildings?

Is this neighborhood near a flight path?

Flying a helicopter is very complicated. Compared to multi engine fixed wing aircraft, they are unreliable. I'm not saying helicopters crash all the time, but helicopters crash often enough. In NYC, I'd bet it averages out to one or two a year winding up in the river.
