I haven't seen much, the local news station doesn't know alot yet but more info will come.

at first they reported it as an airplane.. and then they said it was a copter crash, and now they said that it was a small airplane..

2 are dead.. and they said that it was a mechanical problem.. and that the pilot was inexperienced.

Starnge enough is that it hapened in the same day as it hapened 5 years ago...11October...pretty strange uh, or maybe it's just a coincidence...

that happened in september.. not october..

Odd. Well at least it wasn't a full blown airplane. Almost had a heart attack when I saw the title of this topic.

Me two... I thought it was the twin towers all over again

the incident is tragic...

i didn't even know about it until a friend of mine came on msn and said "a plane hit a building in nyc"
and my immediate reaction was
"WHAT?"
then he goes
"yeah, turn on cnn"

and I did, and there it was, breaking news, And my immediate thoughts were:
"i hope no one got hurt"

Other than the two people killed, there were no other reported injuries..

it is on the news everywhere..

I know...i was just refering myself to the date, not the month...

Yeah even Sky News and BBC ... only 2 dead though... It sounded like the guy in the aircraft was pratting around

It was a Yankee pitcher and his insturctor who were killed in the crash.. it seems that the particular plane model they had used is no stranger to crashes.. he had lost control of the plane.. and that was why he crashed.. though his chances may have been better had he stayed over the East River.. since it wasn't too far away from the crash site.

I saw it also, i also heard that the FBI said it wasnt a terrorist attack.

Yeah he did though if i were on the street, and saw it happen then I wouldn't jump to that conclusion..

Yeah apparently they scramble fighter jets cause the thought it was

i just saw it on the news today and im getting so fed up with all these plane crashes. im afraid to ride in one now there are too many people dieing that way now

Had you heard!!! They said that one of the passengers in that plane, was a baseball player for the New York Yankeys!

Well if you fly to London you're life's in my dads hands

My life???

Your dad's a pilot? Hope nothing happens to him.

Yeah...

No more importantly and wider scale... the Air Traffic Controller :p... He tell the pilots where to go and you just hope the pilot listens well enough to get the right co-ords... but trust me it's completely safe ;D I've seen him work and he had to move his whole area around this one plane cause someone had a heart attack on it :unsure: Hey if the American goverment could trust him with George Bush's life then i think you should be able

You really know alot of stuff.

"You know so little about so much"
"I'd rather you'd say i know so much about so little"
That's one of the convos i had with a firend...

But yeah it's pretty cool to know alot about planes... my Grampa was an engineer and my dads an air traffic controller... my grampa designed a few planes... so i get alot of info from them

Do you know how could a plane go out of control?
