Bernie Karik on Fox now.

This must really be serious. They let him out of jail to do a report on this?

Very good question. There is no excuse for hitting a building even if there are mechanical problems; the regs require flying 1,000 feet higher than the tallest obstacle within a mile. Which means that it is either terrorism or an inept/careless/negligent pilot. The latter is more likely but I wouldn't rule our the former just yet.

I'm sure the pilot is unregognizable at this point. Prayers to all the victims.

That would be the DUMBest comment heard all day.

Since there's no such word as "stupidest". ;-)

The shepard Smith just said that if you see fighter planes in the air overhead, do not be concerned.

I am just making a distinction between an individual with evil intent compared to a person with the backing of a terrorist organization like Al Q.

I don't consider an individual acting alone to be a terrorist, at least in the same sense as a person working for Bin Laden.

That does not mean they aren't evil, but technically they are not terrorists.

The terrorists are using complex math now, don't ya know :)

Authorities may not be sure what happened, and may be clueless as to who has survived, and may have no idea as to what actually hit the building but they have just announced that "this is not terrorism".

That, of course, is as silly as positively declaring that it is terrorism.

Agreed, But why must you treat me as a child? Also creates distrust of getting the truth from big daddy Gov't in a true emergency or war scenario.

That is the last personal insult I will put up with from you.

Shall I hit the abuse button or do I need to remind you of the forum rules?

A simple apology will suffice.

If it's just an accident, why send up fighter jets?

Until more facts are known, it was probably a wise decision to be vigilant and cautious.

Smart precaution. Remember how their has been criticism that they didn't react fast enough during 9/11. You have to take that type of precaution.

Fighters scrambled:

Nancy Pelosi today said that because of Bush's failed policies, the fighters were not scrambled fast enough and an investigation into this should take place.
