Fox is leaning strongly towards "accident". Question: clear skies, good visibility, even with engine trouble how the hell could the pilot have just rammed into that tall building?

This just in: France has surrendered, and will sign the necessary agreement immediately upon learning to whom it is surrendering....Funny. heh heh

Could he not avoid the tower, etc.? I doubt it. Hard enough to do intentionally, nearly impossible accidentally. Start up a flight simulator and try hitting a particular building, esp. at high speed - it's harder than you might expect.

"If the report that he hit the top two floors is accurate, it is the sign of someone wanting desperately to avoid the building rather than destroy it." Good point, untenured! Hope you're right!

Are you sure? I thought it was not a body - but then it was clearly a body, I thought.

Wasn't it the Italian Prime Minister, Berlusconi, who said that we are facing a war of civilizations? The West vs Islam? I guess someone decided to bring the war to him YES! I believe you are absolutely correct. And he got slammed for it.

An airplane flown by the infamous Tourist Guy! This is serious but that line made me fall out of my chair and spray my keyboard with coffee..

People stuck at the top of the building down to the 25th floor where the plane struck.
Oh, yuck!
