Damn it, I am getting TIRED of this.

I tuned in to get more FOLEY news!

First Bush gives a great press conference, then Harry Reid is caught up in scandal, and NOW A PLANE CRASH?

Just what does one have to do to find SEX SCANDAL information these days?

Perhaps you need to just show some concern for the victims for now, until we get more facts. If the facts clearly show this was an accident, will you still think the facts are just part of a cover-up?

Exactly my point.

Applying Occums razor to this reveals to me that it is far more likely done on purpose than accident.

Of course I have already been accused of being a tin foiler for saying it.

Time will tell.

"10/11/06 rotated about the 11 equals 09/11/01"

Now that is spooky and the stuff conspiracy theorists dreams are made of!

For what its worth, my opinion - Accident.

My second prediction: every sad case nut job will be shouting 'Dirty Bomb' or 'Chemicle attack' for the next few hours and trying to spread panic.

The authorities have an obligation to calm this kind of speculation quickly and severely. From what I am following on Fox in the UK it looks like they are doing a good job.

Prayers and thoughts to those affected.

Dear God...she might be right. If this is a true terrorist attack...we are in deep trouble...we will lose the election for sure. That was our golden ticket. If we lose that, the game is over. I so hope that the people are safe regardless.

Could be mechanical...helicopters are finicky beasts. There's some pretty spectacular footage out there on Youtube of a news chopper spinning down out of control and crashing into a roof in Brooklyn a while back. The helicopter was totalled, but miraculously, the pilot and reporter both got out OK.

Do they still run helicopters back and forth as passenger carriers in NYC? There used to be shuttle helicopters going between the airports and helipads on the top of a couple of buildings in Manhattan, but I thought they might've stopped that a while back after another crash.

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.

Amen.

It's very difficult to get followup of a LOT of stories, whether they're Muslim-related or not.

When I was trying to actually find out the real story of what happened to the "Three Arab terrorists locked themselves in an airline bathroom and were shaving themselves in Arkansas" story afterwards, I had to do a lot of research and look at local news sites to discover it actually was an Indian gas station owner on his way to a Las Vegas convention who decided to shave his face during the flight and stayed in the bathroom a long time, his friend (who was never in the bathroom) and a random Hispanic guy who was sitting near them who had nothing to do with them (and never did anything and never went into the bathroom) who looked like an Arab.

I remember -- it was the Hudson. The reporter in the helicopter was screaming to the pilot "Hit the water, hit the water!" I guess she thought that they would survive if they hit the water rather than the pavement. I'll never forget that.

FoxNews: FFA says it is too early to determine whether terrorism.

FoxNews Shep Smith assures us, it isn't.

No way was it a copter, as the fuel would have ended up on the street instead of in the building. That is a fuel fed fire, which means that most of the airframe ended up inside the building.

Airplane crash, not copter.
