Shephard Smith of FNC just said: "Confirmed it was an accident"

[VRWC_minion]

would you be a card-carrying member of a terrorist organization

Its not a bad deal. For only $19.95 the terrorist affinity club includes triple mileage for frequent flyers, free upgrades to first class and special one-way car rentals.

Further speculation… It's being called a 'Tourist' plane. Typically, these planes are large enough to accommodate 20 passenger/sightseers. So that would be a multiengine ship with enough mass to do considerable damage to a building. Additionally, tourist plans take off form small airstrips, WITHOUT security that now hinders hijackers at larger airports and airplanes.

So... was this a charter flight picking tourists up in Milan? Only explanation for an empty flight.

I'd want a newspaper from this week in the Al Jazeera broadcast before I start buying that Osama is alive.

[DJ88]

Yeah, that's true. But it still doesn't answer the questions about the "coincidences" going on.

Well, time to get in the shower. ;-)

Did he not say that America would not know peace until all of Palestine was liberated???? What makes them think that this is an "old" tape????

As I recall, he made similar comments about Palestine on the first tapes that showed up last year. This is not a new sentiment.

Was that the one where she accidentally hit a football player's car, he got mad and tried to rip her clothes off (got her stripped to her underwear, IIRC) so he could "auction her off" on the spot to pay for his car repairs, she runs away from her assailant and the jeering crowd, and drowns ? If that's the one, I saw an update on CourtTV: The POS who terrified her into jumping and drowning was sent to prison.

[DJ88]

I gotcha. Well, I guess we will find out more as the day goes on.

Bob Hoover flew the Aero Commander in airshows until he was so old that the FAA bigwigs started loosing their teeth over it. They downed the guy once because they thought he was 'wobbling' as he walked -- This was after he had piloted the twin-engine plane through one of the most impressive routines in the airshow program, capped with a power-off loop, landing, and rollout . . .

About Bulgaria, it was reported that the flight originiated from there. Might be wrong. Anyway, as I read it, Berlusconi happened to be in Bulgaria today, and is returning from there.:

Rientrato immediatamente dalla Bulgaria, dove si trovava in visita ufficiale, il presidente del Consiglio Silvio Berlusconi ha convocato subito a Palazzo Chigi l’unità di crisi. D’intesa con il ministero della Difesa, è stato mobilitato il dispositivo di difesa aerea nazionale “in attesa che si chiarisca la situazione” anche se l’Enav ha già comunicato che il piper si è schiantato contro il Pirellone per un’avaria, confermando le prime notizie giunte dalla torre di controllo dell’aeroporto milanese di Linate che aveva raccolto l’sos del pilota.

How about....

20 passenger/sightseers.

An Aero Commander doesn't seat 20. Of course, neither does not a Seneca II or a Piper Cub or a (non existant) Piper Air Commander.

After all this time, we still don't have an accurate aircraft model.

Theoretically, its possible. Practically, it's not. You would have to rig the control cables in such a way that they behave perfectly normal until you activate your control, at which point the on-board controls drop dead.

Then there's the time factor. Making the above modifications to the plane is no simple task. It would take a considerable amount of time to do it, so it would have had to be done the last time they plane went into the shop (probably it's previous annual inspection.)

Keine ahnung. Mein freund besag' es.

Yes, I saw that...very interesting. Jim Mik now on MSNBC saying that "this pilot, a 75 year old Swiss man, was in NO WAY CONNECTED with Al Qa'euda." Well, excuse me, but no freaking duh!!! HELLO??? Either were any of the pilots of the planes that crashed into the WTC buildings on 9/11 or the Pentagon.

WHAT? What crack pipe were you smoking? Mohammad Atta (sic) was directly linked to Al Queida as were most of the other highjackers. Where do you think the financing came from? But let me see weren't all of them ARABS? This guy was a 75 year old Swiss pilot with no connections to Islam whatsoever. Oh but that would blow the theory wouldn't it. So lets just say he was a 25 year old Arab DISGUISED as a 75 year old Swiss pilot on a holy Jihad mission to destroy the Pireli tire company for suppling Infadels with fine quality racing tires, which we know racing is against Islam and all Infidels (YOU LISTENING NASCAR DRIVEERS??) must die!!!!

[codebreaker]

Yep, I'm calling a 'Code Brown-Shower On!' situation until I figure out why a tourist plane with one elderly pilot was acclerating to a perfect level hit on the upper floors of a government building with a small width in a big city..

I met Mr. Hoover at the AOPA convention in San Jose in 1996, just after he was "Hoovered". What a gracious gentleman. We did a brief on-camera interview with him for a compilation video for the banquet dinner. Nothing wrong with him. Saw him perform at Oshkosh after he regained his medical - what he can do with a twin - WOW! He was also in one of the big hangar buildings, signing books, last summer.

The FAA dweeb who Hoovered him is a pencil-neck weasel.

Corriere della Sera now reports four dead, people are trapped in elevators.

Another Sept. 11 hijacker seen on the new 'Weekend at Osama's..'

Either were any of the pilots of the planes that crashed into the WTC buildings on 9/11 or the Pentagon.

Um, I think he means the pilots SCHEDULED by the airline. Not the impromptu Islamic A-holes that took control of the planes.
