Just read that, I have to say my heart sank a little when I glanced it.
If this was intentional, it's probably comparable to the one that happened in Tampa, Florida: link. Most likely just an isolated act of some wanna-be terrorist.

wanna-be terrorist.
Or it could be an accident and people have just died for **** sakes :rolleyes:
Yeah, it doesn't really have the earmarks of an intentional terrorist act. If it was, I'd imagine they would have gone for something a little bigger than an apartment building, unless their mindset was that a lot of people live in apartment buildings so they'd kill more people.
I don't get how the airplane made it inside, though. The building looks fairly intact. The wings must have shredded right off.
from the reports, they're saying it's a plane not a helicopter
*puts tin foil hat on*
ooohohohoh noooeisiwieiss where are the wings!?@@! our president just bombed an innocent apartment building!?@@!oneone!
FROM CNN: One person is confirmed killed after plane crashes into New York apartment building, New York Fire Department says.
police confirm 2 dead
That's not near Rockefeller Center nords. That's right across the street from my office. I got called into a meeting uptown at the last minute when the secretary came in hysterical to tell us. We bolted for home when we heard. People back in the office said they heard a crash, then smelled an awful smell.
It's really foggy over there today, and there's an air corridor over the East River, just an accident. People are a little freaked but it'll subside.
Looks like I'm working from uptown tomorrow, but I'll bring my camera in case I head back down there.
yeah, i know it's not rockafella center, but the initial report said it was NEARBY (just as a reference). though, now that i think about it, isn't rockafella center south of the park, in the 60s?
50th if I remember correctlyQuote:

Yeah, what the hell... As if the Yankees weren't having enough bad luck as it is.
yeah ESPN reports: Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle was the pilot of a small airplane that crashed into a 50-story Manhattan condominium, killing Lidle and three others, according to the New York medical examiner's office.
..and we have reports coming in of some wet willies reported on the Upper East side, no, actually, reports of wet willies are rife throughout the five borough district...Quote:
