SKYSCRAPER CRASH IN MILAN ITALY

Fownews

[Bommer]

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

[LarryLied]

Uh. The two related are they not?

Oh yeah. Evertime there is a terrorist attack anywhere, everyone thinks of the Jews. This thread is very revealing. Italians are killed and the usual seminar Israeli posters start yakking about the Jews and who hates Jews.

Rather self-centered, don't you think? You can almost hear the glee in their writing and the wheels grinding in their heads as they think of how they can turn Italian deaths to their advantage.

Don't bother replying. I'm done with this thread. Going out to get some fresh air.

CNN is reporting that there was only ONE person on the plane now. Weird.

[Gorest Gump]

This will be shown to be a terrorist attack. Count on it.

I have little doubt it was a terrorist attack. However, there will be powerful forces (read EU terrorist sympathizers) who will work like Hell to cover up the truth and "prove" this to be an accident.

2) There's an awful lot of sky up there. Even if you're in trouble it's still pretty hard to find the little bit of sky that's occupied by a building...

My thoughts exactly. Until I see proof to the contrary, my opinion is that this was deliberate.

[Joe Hadenuf]

If this was a piper, it had to be one of their largest models. This building has *MAJOR* damage.

[GOPyouth]

David Asman keeps questioning people on the ground there if there was an explosion. They are having audio problems, so he can't get an answer. Asman keeps making the point that the damage seems greater than what would come from a small plane.

[L`enn]

Much less a plane that was "floundering"

[Miss Marple]

Perhaps they are saying it is an accident in order to smoke out al Qaeda, who would want everyone to know it was deliberate.

[jae471]

No, but they did say it was a Piper. Piper makes many different planes, so it is wrong to assume it is a Cub.

.......or just a sinister sympathetic simpleton on a cell phone :o)

Stay Safe !

That's what I was thinking, pilot was forced to make SOS call.

MSNBC kicking a$$ on this story.. Islamic Cultural Center in Milan is the home of Al Qaeda in Central Europe

[tomkat]

tend to agree, but i'm not a pilot.

by the amount of damage to at least the entry point,
sure looks like it had to be some kind of multi-seat twin or something ?

any aviation types who might offer educated opinions ??

[Walkin Man]

The SOS call about mechanical problems was meant to throw off any possible air intercept which might have arisen because of a plane flying low in that air space.

You may have something there. If you see a shot of the building from the side, there is massive damage on both sides of the building. Awful lot of damage from a small plane. Why couldn't the pilot avoid a huge skyscraper in clear weather?

[OldFriend]

Thanks........it seems inanity is rampant on FR lately.

Please pray for those injured or dead in this crash.

[MarkWar]

>...it is shown that this was an accident.....or WAS IT?

[laughs] Hey, everyone calmed down after it was shown that TWA800 was an accident...

More seriously, tomorrow is April 19 -- if we have any "accidents" here tomorrow, then you're going to see a frenzy...

Yeah. Take a deep breath, and count to ten. Now, very slowly, review the facts:

On a clear sunny day, an airplane flew level into the tallest building in Italy.
Airplanes don't fly level into tall buildings by accident on clear sunny days.

They just faxed me the surrender documents. I don't know whether to accept it or not - they also faxed them to the math/science division across the hall. I spoke with one of the professors from over there, and we're all kind of hoping they'll send them to the economics department instead.

One man Suicide mission?

[DJ88]

someone is on the phone that is IN the building!!! On CNN...I don't normally watch/listen to them, but they are still the best when it comes to breaking news...he is on the 9th floor on a cell phone. I think that I, personally, would be getting my booty outta there, not talking on the phone!!!
