Plane crashes into building in NYC TODAY!

[LAB DESIGN]

Hey - I don't know if you all have seen this yet. But a small private plane just crashed into a building in the city (New York) today!

Its a big 50 story apartment building on the Upper East Side (72nd Street and York) ... if you watched sex and the city- this was Carrie's Neighborhood.

My point... they are saying it isn't terrorists. The apartment on the 20th floor of the building is still burning!

also... does anyone see the spooky-ness of a plane going into a building in New York City on 10-11???

Ironic?

Also- this comes after what happened in North Korea yesterday... they tested a nuclear bomb underground off the shore...

So don't ever think the world is as wonderfully perfect as you think just because you have mastered how to turn a blond eye!

... regarding the plane crash... So far the news said there has only been 2 deaths.

I am going to post this bulletin on my blog...

this will be up!

I read more or less the same thing, but now there are four people confirmed that have been killed. This does not appear to be a terrorist activity because this was a privately owned jet owned by a member of the NY Yankees organization.

I just switched the TV on, watching about it now.. seems to be an accident.

yankees pitcher Cory Lidle owned and was piloting the plane and died in the crash. bloomburg (NYC's mayor) says the plane broke up on impact

[Drumr]

this sucks... when i first heard i got a lil worried till i heard more

bein in NY makes it scarier when you hear of a plane going down.

thank god its not terrorism if not only for the fact that terrorism is horrible (obviously) but bush cannot begin to justify another war thats in his own interest.

[pachinkoman]

4 people reportedly killed, 1 being NY Yankees pitcher Corey Lidle.
11 people injured, 5 of them being firefighters.
2 of the people killed believed to be residents of condo that plane struck.
Crash is apparently due to mechanical failure.
Plane took off from New Jersey airport, made circle around Statue of Liberty, continued up East River, and crashed into a building on Manhatten's East Side.
Contact w/radar was lost around 59th St, Crash was at 72nd Street on the 20th floor.

[devyanks90]

bloomburg said two were dead, both from the plane. residents of condo walked away. crash was at 40th floor.

[Renfrewbhoy]

A very tragic accident.

As far as I am aware, there is a lot of samll aircraft around NY -can you confirm MH/DRB? - Was it always going to happen ?

[musichound]

Small planes are sure flying around here, but what happened yesterday was thankfully a very rare incident.

[badbrain88]

Here's a theoretical question to stoke the brains fires a bit. What if the guy flying the plane was fulfilling a suicide bid, as has been speculated on, which cannot be confimred or denied at the present time. If this were the case (that it was an over-elaborate yet successful suicide attemt), would this not be deemd a so-called act of "terrorism"? It would seem some people experienced some sort of "terror" during or after the incident. Or is it a case of "foreign"-looking people and their acts having an unwanted monopoly on the overly mis-used terminology?

Accidents of this nature are just waiting to happen as we continue to overcrowd the skies, especially over the major cities, like London, Tokyo, LA etc. There are so many close-encounters that happen on a daily basis already.

Funny you should ask because I was thinking one step further: What if he was really a terrorist and fulfilled his mission? Then I started to realize that the plane was not large enough to do damage on a grand scale, so I discounted it.

He could have actually commited suicide. I guess we will know what really happened after the black box is ananlized.

[theQuietMan]

Unfortunately, small private planes like this do not have black boxes.

The little bit I've heard here in the midwest has not mentioned the possibility of suicide. But there have been brought up several times that the pilot has only been flying about 8 months, and this model plane is a bit harder to control than others.

I've heard a number of reporters (one on WFAN) say that Lidle was an avid pilot who was scheduled to be flying with his instructor yesterday in a plane he had just recently purchased. He was doing some practicing before leaving today to start a series of short trips as he made his way to his home in California. He put his wife and young son (6 y.o., I think) on a commercial flight yesterday for California before taking off himself - apparently he crashed while they were still in the air, and the airline arranged for a clergyman to meet them when they landed to break the news.

Doesn't sound at all like suicide to me - just a very sad story for everone involved. I feel awful for that kid.

[NPswimdude500]

I was watching the live coverage on four or five networks and let me say that CBS definitely took the lead on this story. I was impressed with their level of coverage - better than NBC, and much better than Fox.

[Jace]

It is indeed a sad event and I do feel sorry for the involved people's families.. But golly, if the first blog entry didn't overflow with paranoia.

[Coop]

In case anyone's interested, here's a good representation of the flight path. To a complete layman like myself, it looks like they just miscalulated where they were when they made the turnaround:

[Step666]

I heard, through the BBC, that it was 4 dead - the Yankee guy, his instructor and two people who lived in the building.

I think the fact that he was in the plane with someone else immediately discounts any sort of suicide theory.
Even if the guy had wanted to top himself, I doubt he would've done it in such a way that would definitely kill one other person and risk killing many more.


It was, as others have said, just an accident.


Looking at the link showing the flightpath, I must say I'm surprised planes are allowed over the East River. Especially at such a low height.
That just strikes me as dangerous.

Really?!?! How else could they have crashed?? They couldn't be on the ground, could they? Sorry, had to be stupid and do it, couldn't resist. I fully get the intedned meaning.

p.s. I'm not a conspiracy nut, just posing a hypothetical question, as stated.

Ahh, those pesky pronouns...
