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.
Four-alarm fire now.
Methinks this is bigger than it looks.
but how do we really know there is "no reason to suspect". When a police detective first arives on the scene of a death, he certainly does not initially presume "no reason to suspect" suspicious circumstances.
He needs to make a thorough investigation to make any intelligent comment one way or another as to the cause before he makes any such statement.
An Osprey you say?
BTTT - anything weird before this on TM?
Whore-aldo the media whore has just reported that the entire building is mired in a "toxic soup".
Considered a 4-alarm fire, 168 firefighters at scene.
***This must be pretty big. Katie Couric is putting on her makup as we type.***
Bwa hahahahah
So. We now know for sure that it was a helicopter, a single-engine plane, or a multi-engine plane. Or not. Great. We're living in the instant information age for sure, even if the information is wrong.
Yes, you are making sense. I guess we will find out more shortly about what actually happened.

"Small Aircraft Crashes Into New York City High-Rise Building"

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "NEW YORK — A small aircraft crashed into a high-rise building on Manhattan's Upper East Side Wednesday,
Local news reports quoted New York Fire Department officials as saying two people were confirmed dead. Officials said there is no indication the incident was a result of terrorism.
The crash set off a raging fire that sent a pillar of gray smoke over the city, police said. Witnesses reported seeing a gigantic fireball come out of the building, police said.
Flames could be seen shooting from windows on two upper floors of the 50-story building, near the East River. Burning debris fell from the tower, and a column of gray smoke rose over the city.
"There's huge pieces of debris falling," said one witness who refused to give her full name. "There's so much falling now, I've got to get away."
Fire Department spokeswoman Emily Rahimi said the aircraft struck the 20th floor of the building, located at 524 East 72nd Street."
Well,
if it was a fixed wing chopper
we know why it crashed.
You either don't know much about Occum's Razor or flying...or both.

You know, sometimes I HATE liberals with every fiber of my being...
LOL...the fact that it's only sometimes makes you a better person than me.
Do they have any reason NOT to suspect it?
If so, then what are those reasons as we currently know right now?
