"It is one of the symbols of Italy's financial capital.."Does this not remind you of 9/11 when they hit OUR biggest financial symbols??
Now they are saying that the pilot was reporting a "technical" problem to the tower before the crash. This has been reported on Italian TV, but I do not know if it has been confirmed by the Air Traffic Control Center itself.

arab terrorists lie. creating doubt in the mind of victims as to the perpetrator and motives are de rigeur. if you believe a pilot has tech problems, and out of 360 degrees up and down hits the only thing in the sky, and a skinny one at that, i have a like new bridge for sale, cheap.

Una forte esplosione si è verificata poco fa a Milano, in piazzale Duca d'Aosta, ai piani alti del Grattacielo Pirelli, il palazzo della Regione. Secondo le prime informazioni si tratterebbe di un incidente, il pilota dellaereo avrebbe infatti lanciato un sos prima dellimpatto. L'aereo sarebbe un Piper da turismo. L'impatto è avvenuto al di sopra del 25esimo piano e avrebbe coinvolto almeno cinque piani. Secondo quanto riferiscono testimoni oculari cè uno squarcio ai piani alti della sede della Regione e fiamme alte, intorno, le sirene delle ambulanze e dei mezzi di soccorso che sono confluiti immediatamente, insieme agli elicotteri.
