An eyewitness walking her dog reports on 770 WABC Radio that there was a flash on the right side of the plane at the wing root where the wing meets the fusalage. The plane just seemed to drop straight down. She also reports that there was a helicopter very close to the plane while it crashed. She reports that her husband thought the helicopter shot the plane down! But she doesn't think so. She didn't see any military jets around.
