SKYSCRAPER CRASH IN MILAN ITALY

Just reported that a small engine plane crashed into a Skyscraper in Milan Italy

(Why Italy? That's the part I don't understand.)

Just a few days ago a vote was held in the U.N. supporting the Palestinians and condemning Israel. Only 5 countries voted in support of Israel, and I believe that Italy either voted on the side of Israel or abstained from the voting (someone please correct me if I am wrong).

2. Italy has the EU's highest proportion of Muslims at 13% of the population (it and Spain are the highest ; the rest of the EU ranges from 5-8%. This is in contrast to the US, where no more than 2% is Muslim, and even that's been said to be an overestimate.)The high number of Muslims would make it difficult for the Italian government if that 13% , or a fairly large percentage thereof, were to run amuck in response to anything their "muslim brothers" were to do. IOW, they can celebrate in the streets with impunity, same as if they were in Egypt or Iraq.

I had heard before that France had the highest. But if Italy has 13%, that's getting up there. I think it was Daniel Pipes who pointed out that once the moslem population gets to 10-15% in any country, then the real trouble is just beginning.

When a govt starts telling falsehoods it eventually destroys their ability to keep the peace as they lose their credibility. Ecspecially when this as an accident is so far fetched.

BTW, What the heck was a 75 year old man doing flying a commercial airplane?

Wondering that myself. On the other hand, since we don't really know for sure his age, he could also have been in the 60-65 age range, as some reports are saying. But still, is that common?

Your HO was not asked for.

I am trying to read through this thread to catch up on information

Your only going to find the tinfoil army out in full force, and those of us mocking them.

I have said it is not funny that anybody died. I was not making jokes at their expense (although many keep trying to say the pilot had his throat ripped open - that is in poor taste I believe)

I mock those in the tinfoil army, because I myself find it obscene that anytime there is a (insert mode of transportation here) crash, there are those who automaically assume an entire religion or race of people are behind it, because they are unable or unwillingly to deal with reality. Before 9/11, people would have been like "poor pilot" and then moved on with their lives. Now everytime a plane crashes or train derails or a taxi goes off the road, it's blamed on a terrorism. People don't want to wait for the facts. The corpses haven't even buried, and already people think they know all of the answers and facts, when in fact, the only fact we know is that we don't know much.

I do indeed find it amusing that there are so many chicken littles cowering under their beds and desks screaming that the sky is falling, and I can't help poking fun at them. I apologize to you for getting caught up in this though.

I have a feeling a large percentage of Grimlins are Muslim.

[B Knotts]

Thanks for the info. They keep talking about a co-pilot on MSNBC.

Before 9/11, people would have been like "poor pilot" and then moved on with their lives.

Before 9/11 planes didn't crash into skyscrapers - at least not since 1946. And a good percentage of us so-called tinfoilers who you claim are cowering under our beds were back here at work in Manhattan on 9/12.

That response is so much better than your usual bilge.

Glad you like my name.

MILAN, Italy (Reuters) - A small plane smashed into a Milan skyscraper Thursday, killing at least three people and injuring dozens, in what Italian officials called an accident and not a repeat of the September 11 suicide attacks.

The pilot of the propeller-driven plane reported technical problems shortly before plowing into the building, devastating upper floors of the slender, 30-story office block that towers above Italy's financial capital.

You must own stock in Reynolds aluminum like DJ88 and everyone else that had this poor old man lying on the floor of his airplane with his throat slashed after he was hijacked at an airport by Abdulla Achmed and forced to crash into a near empty office building in the Great Satan stockohold of Milan Italy.

Spell that Gremlin next time.

You're full of it. We arent talking about unfortunate accidents. We are talking about mass murder.

[ctdonath2]

I take it you've never been to Rome.

True. More importantly, I've never flown close over it. Has anyone here seen the Vatican from the air?

Someone else noted a better explaination: Al Qaida is motivated to destroy Western civilization, and hence seeks to knock out economic & symoblic infrastructures; crashing into the Vatican would only tick off a few hundred million Catholics, not break "the system".

[CJ Wolf]

actually were not that great at writing software.

[Politicalmom]

Oh, of COURSE people just DON'T hijack planes, slit people's throats, and fly the planes into buildings. It isn't good FORM. /sarcasm off

[DJ88]

Oh, I see. You're the only one on this thread who DIDN'T understand what I meant, so you attack me. Good tactic. Do you think that when people say "The Tides they are a turning" that the actual ocean tides are really turning? How cute.

BTW...that's the SECOND time today you've done that..

And spare me your woe-be-me antics and the namecalling. I could care less what you think of me, what you call me, and all that other baloney you are spewing.
