I don't know his age. I'm just quoting from clueless posts of even more clueless news sources. Planes are usually rather stable in flight (else we would say "raining airplanes" rather than "cats and dogs" which are not so stable, [or maybe hailing taxicabs, really dangerous storms]) so if the guy was dead or he engaged the autopilot while trying to lower the wheels, the plane may have flown itself into the building. Payne Stuart's plane and (earier) the plane carrying the East Carolina football coach flew themselves on a straight an level path with all the passengers being dead. (Of course only until they ran out of fuel.)

Sure, that was the official story...:)))

Great point about Payne Stuart's plane flying on by itself.

So which skyscraper did it hit? It didn't?

360* X 90* = A Lot Of Sky.

Skyscrapers being about .00000000000000000000000000000000000000001% of said sky.

Payne Stuart's plane

Please note, however, that it crashed in a field, not dead-center into a skyscraper.
