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.

Just heard a reporter say "it was a fixed wing chopper".

Great, first a plane, then a helicopter, back to a plane, and now it's a flying motorcycle.

Maybe it's a rotary fixed wing dirigible.

Fox has always been awful regarding aviation. Just terrible. I would work for them for free just to help them get their facts in order.

But, you are not exactly right either.

A stall is a disruption of airflow over a surface sufficient to disturb lift. Sorry to nitpick.

Mets are playing Game 1 tonight at Shea Stadium in Flushing.

I think the authorities should have a few planes in the air during the game, just in case.

Yes, at this point probably anything the gov't says I will entertain some doubt, and I will continue to have some small suspicion it was terrorism.

And I don't think that constitutes anywhere near the nutiness level required of liberals to believe that George Bush blew up the World Trade Center.

It's just on completely different levels of nutiness....!

[FarRightFanatic]

"Well, Shepard Smith just said "there's absolutely nothing to indicate that this was terrorism."

Thanks, Shep, for your insight. /sarcasm"



Honestly, when is FOX going to take this moron off the air?

[Alberta's Child]

FWIW, Fox is such a miserable network when it comes to covering breaking stories that I wonder why they even bother.

Their coverage of the post-Katrina scene in New Orleans last year was so amateurish it was embarrassing to watch. I'm sure we'll see this "live, up-to-date photo" on their website any minute now . . .

[the OlLine Rebel]

Methinks they are just being "conservative".

Stay safe. . .and you wouldn't know if Barbra BS Streisand, has an a New York apartment would you? In that area. . .building. . .floor?

. . .and wondering as well, where Hillary lives?

[cgk]

Currently, local news from NYC on Philly news is saying that it is either a 2-4 seater "fixed wing aircraft". Studio reporter just asked "What on earth was a small plane doing flying BETWEEN buildings??" Reporter on scene's response: "Good question... "

[TankerKC]

Just a theory.

Or, could it be that first reports are always wrong?

[Yossarian]

FDNY reports people are trapped on floors above where the plane crashed.

FAA reports a temporary flight restriction has been placed around this section of NYC - probably just affecting helicopter traffic.

[johnny7]

Crop-dusting...

[shoedog]

Harry Reid, Sandy Bergyer Billand Hillary worked fast. They had to get those stories off the front page!!!!

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

One for each wing?

[MadeInAmerica]

Word has it... she plans on showing some cleavage tonight

Shep Smith at Fox says people have no water and food and are starving.

LOL!!

[Kitten Festival]

Why can't these people just find out who was flying the damn thing. I want to know the id of the pilot.

[the OlLine Rebel]

Yes, like those radical Amish she defended when declaring no1 should have guns, but the week before offended by saying Christians are real security threats.

[GOP_1900AD]

And the highly suspect AA 587 crash, 11/11/01.

[JennysCool]

Methinks they are just being "conservative".

Quite likely!
