Plane Crashes Into NYC Building

Probably accident.

Tiny fire, relatively light damage, residential building during working hours...so either accident, or opening salvo.
 
Hmmm it would not be the first case of someone deliberate crashing a light aircraft into a building.
 
Weather reports indicate it's cloudy, but with 7 mile visibility, it's hard to imagine this was simple pilot error. So it's probably either terrorism or mechanical failure. It was a residential building, which suggests to me that there might not have been any occupants at the crash location. Let's hope so.
 
If it were terrorism, it's an odd choice for targets. It's not a landmark. It's not near a landmark. It's a residential building being struck during office hours. I suspect accident, and I write this even as I hear the sirens rushing uptown to the scene of the accident.

I hope casualties are minimal.
 
Today is Oct. 11, BTW. Yes, I know al Qaeda is not known for dates. Eyewiteness reports say one wing dropped fairly sharply which sounds like a stalled wing.
 
Crazy guy flys plane into building...it's been done before. There was a nut who did it at the White House; a nutty kid who did it in Tampa right after 9/11. They're getting all kinds of conflicting reports....it's a helicopter...no a light plane...no a multi-engine plane...I imagine the the conspiracy theorists are alreadyl saying that it was a "black helicopter".

Sure hope no one in the building was harmed...

I'm guessing either the Jews or our government has orchestrated this incident which will affect the psyche of all Americans for years to come...ooh, lunch time!

Or the pilot was incapacitated. Stroke, heart attack, etc.

NBC says there's a hospital on the lower floors.
 
Murder/suicide? Pilot taking his ex-wife with him by crashing in to her apartment?
 
Light aircraft hitting nondescript residential building during working hours? If it's a terrorist attack, it's a very poor one. I'm guessing accident and/or an attempt at murder/suicide by jilted lover (or something similar).

If you subtract 1 from 10/11, you get 9/11! :eek:

I wonder if the President had advanced knowledge of this? I heard that all the Jews had left the building earlier this morning.
 
NORAD is deploying combat air patrols over major US cities. Maybe one of our metropolitan members could peek outside and report.

Fixed-wing in Manhattan. I guessing a terrorist one-off.

If that's the case I have to say it's a horrible choice of target. Is the resident a rabbi? Kosher pickle magnate? Perhaps a spurning lover?

If you're going to paraphrase, at least give credit.
