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.

CNN is reporting that NORAD has scrambled fighters around the country as a precaution.,/P>

I can hear the Rats. Bush planned the crash as an excuse to scramble fighters throughout the country to emphasize Rebulbicans are better at security for the country than the Democrats.

Could this be NK's attack on America???? /sarc

*Giggle* Brilliant!

[CougarGA7]

I wouldn't read too much into that. Anymore, we are going to err to the side of caution.

[Robe]

Anyone know if it was the East side or West side of the bldg?

[Diddle E. Squat]

That was a reference to Hillary Clinton a few days after 9/11 claiming that Chelsea had been in the area that day and had fled down the street. Unfortunately for Hillary, Chelsea had already been quoted as being nowhere near that section of New York City on 9/11.

Rosie O'Donnell.com reports this was yet another act of radical Christian extremists.

We got the bubble-headed bleach blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell ya 'bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It's int'resting when people die
Give us dirty laundry

[EveningStar]

I remember hearing about this a long time ago but I'd forgotten about it. Thanks. :)

Pretty neat.

But the terrorists use different numerals and in most places the day comes first.

Still cool.

FAA is saying it was a small 2 winged plane.

Sopwith Camel?

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

2 winged

That would be a biplane then.....check the WW I planes north of Poughkeepsie.....

[Fatuncle]

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

If you are flying along and suddenly your engine stops, you crash. If there is a building under you, you crash into the building.

Actually, most plane crashes are at or near airports.
