The early press reporting borders on irresponsibility! Let's review the reports so far at 2:10 pm EDT:(1) The plane took off from Bulgaria - THEN it was reported that it took off from Switzerland. (2) A helicopter flew into the building - No, uh, the plane was a single engine Piper, uh NO, it was twin engine. (3) The pilot made a distress call - also reported as SOS, that he had ENGINE trouble - Then the report is that he was having trouble lowering the LANDING GEAR. (4) There was a loud secondary explosion - there was no secondary explosion. (5)There was a report that the plane trailed smoke before impact. I understand that early reports are varied, scattered and not reliable but they should present these reports after an attempt to verify the information.

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

The early press reporting borders on irresponsibility! Just a little ..
I still remember them claiming the 1st plane that hit the WTC was an "accident" and a "small plane" .. wasn't till the 2nd plane hit before they corrected themselves and reported it was an attack
Like I've have stated this could have been an accident but it isn't passing the smell test
There wasn't a highway .. a road .. a field .. any open space the guy could have tried to land this plane .. instead of smack in the middle of a skyscraper
