SKYSCRAPER CRASH IN MILAN ITALY

Fownews

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

This is probably another #587 incident. 'Freak accident'/coincidence.

IF it WAS a planned crash and the 'official story' is saying it's an accident, then there should be quite a few po'ed diaperheads, who are fuming at losing their 'due credit'.

Are there any reports yet of plane parts coming out the other side and landing? And aren't there any alarm systems that would alert a pilot that there's a building/mountain/trees, etc directly in front of the plane?

WTF? Why are we getting out of the U.S. Consulate?

Compared to this, it is....

MSNBC going to coverage all afternoon, raising questions of a 'planejacking' perhaps

You know what .. after 9/11 ANYTHING is possible .. but I will say .. I also don't rely to much on the news stations to report the actual truth either

[freeperfromnj]

You forgot about the people on the ground seeing the plane on fire.

Eyewitnesses don't count, even credible ones, as we learned from the AA Dominican plane that crashed last Fall.

Not to feed the conspiracy sharks or anything... but the 1993 WTC bombing was declared a 'transformer fire' accident for three days before it was acknowledged to be an intentional bombing.

The media reports seem to be following the damage-control script here, but this is going to be pretty tough to explain away.

What model 52s?

Does it really matter? If it's not a fighter, it's a target...

Now you guys sound like the French...refusing to accept facts. This was an accident. A twin engine can and did cause that much damage to a building. Get over it. It was an accident by a 70 year swiss man.

Why did those airline pilots crash their 747 into the WTC? I just cant imagine why they'd do such a thing. OH yah because their throats were cut by terrorist hijackers! Does it occur to you people that a 70 year old guy makes an easy target? Does it occur to you that distractions like engine trouble make good excuses for a plane flying where it is not supposed to be? Does it occur to you that hitting that building as it was hit is like the chances of being struck by lightning 10 times in a row?

"Crew 2 Pilots + 5 Scientists"

What's this .. where did you hear this ..

[cyphergirl]

Collision avoidance system? It's required in the big planes... optional/expensive for the smaller ones. Hell, we (Honeywell) just finally came up with a nice inexpensive weather system for the General Aviation guys... and they've been flying for how many years? *sigh*

MSNBC Reporting: U.S. Consulate in Milan Being Evacuated.

A wise precaution, even if this is really an accident. Same with the closing of the Milan airport. Better safe than sorry.

If the 9/11 attacks had started 1 hour later, the death toll would have been much higher

My guess is that they wanted an early morning flight because people are not that alert. Also, the planes needed to be 767 or 757 fully loaded with fuel for a transcontinental flight. Also, the early morning flights have few passengers which means an easier to control situation. I think less than 100 were on each plane.

raising questions of a 'planejacking' perhaps some one smuggled themself on board.

An airport ground crew named Mohammed has been my working theory all along.

[DJ88]

Have they said why they are being evacuated?

Expert on MSNBC is saying that it is "improbable" that it would be hard for this plane to "climb"...they're not buying this "accident" story, either.

Speaking of coverage isn't "Weekend at Osama's Part II" due to air now?

That would be my hunch, just by the point of impact on the building, top dead and center on the structure.

[Diddle E. Squat]

heart attack also a possibility. 75 year old under much stress.

Why would a terrorist try to make a terrorist act look like an accident? No one would know he accomplished his goal. No one would call him 'martyr.' Wouldn't that kind of defeat the purpose of terrorism?

My thoughts: The guy's plane caught fire, he wanted to make an emergency landing, the landing gear stuck, smoke filled the cockpit and he crashed into the building. Another possible scenario, based on the facts, is that a terrorist somehow remote-controlled the plane into the building, but that doesn't seem very plausible.
