Breaking News: Plane smashes into building in New York

[AndrewJ]

This news is all over place

www.cnn.com have it in the top banner.

Rumors have it that it is not terrorism related.

[Chimaera]

Yep - it's on the BBC News channel now

[Russ]

Aw no........

[Chimaera]

First reports say it's a 'small' aircraft or helicopter and not thought to be terrorist related - let's hope not.

[SnoopZ]

God....

[Russ]

Sky News just said something about the aircraft seeming to be in difficulty before it hit - let's hope it's that rather than a deliberate attack.

[SnoopZ]

Fire department has confirmed it was a helicopter.

[edit]

Everyone else is saying a fixed wing aircraft.

[AndrewJ]

Lets hope it was accidental...last thing we need right now is another 9/11.

thing is though in some kind of twisted way if the plane was just piloted by terrorists less innocent people would have died than if it was an accident

Now that's an interesting take on it... if it's terrorists and no innocent by-standers lost their lives, then I'm with Zing on this one, and let's face it, who really cares if a couple of terrorists die?

Perhaps the terrorists' bretheren who'd want to make sure innocents die in their next attack?

But they want to wipe us all out anyway that wouldnt make a difference
