Italian TV reporting that pilot radioed in SOS. May have had possible engine problems. So much for Jihad!

Maybe, maybe not. See #235. I'm just guessing...... and hoping I am wrong. It would be one way to get around any missle launch, correct?

The Italian news site is saying a helicopter hit the building, not a small plane.

No, such a call would be done to explain why the plane was off course so that its not intercepted. The radar boys would have been all over the plane if he didn't call. A pilot that could manage to call could manage to avoid the building.

However, if 911 had only been one plane we would have been told it was an accident.
