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

[xJones]

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?

[Gophack]

They think it was an accident per FOX News

[GOPyouth]

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

Funny. heh heh

[ctdonath2]

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.

My CNN on DirectTV went black.

Finally, they are telling the truth.

[TheDon]

FNC reports fire is now out.

[watchwoman]

"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!

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

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

ROFL, Excellent.....

[Utopia]

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.

[Texas Mom]

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..

[Slip18]

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

Oh, yuck!

[xJones]

Fox reports worst fires are out. People still trapped on upper floors.

[blackdog]

Is that actually Bert from Sesame Street in the background of photograph? What the heck do Bert and Bin Laden have in common?

[Peach]

Thank you for all your blessing for the firefighters entering that building.

[texasbluebell]

Yep, I already corrected my error! Second viewing proved it wasn't a body.

[Bommer]

THIS IS BEING REPORTED AS AN ACCIDENT!!!

[Peach]

Italian tv reporting the fire has been extinguished.
