Foxnews on the web is the only one reporting so far (Surprised that AP wire didn't have it up yet)..I'm betting this one was not related to terrorism.

CNN now reporting too, apparently is was on approach to JFK.

NEW YORK (CNN) -- Queens police confirm an aircraft crashed Monday in
                 the Far Rockaways neighborhood of the New York City borough.

                 The spokesman could not confirm the type of plane but said it crashed in the
                 Rockaways at 122nd Street and Rockaway Beach Boulevard.

                 WCBS-TV reported that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said it
                 was an American Airlines 767 presumably on approach to John F. Kennedy
                 International Airport in New York. The station showed pictures of a huge plume of
                 smoke.

An American Airlines plane has crashed in the
                 Queens borough of New York City. The FAA
                 identifies the flight as American flight 587, an
                 Airbus A300 from JFK airport to Santo Domingo,
                 Dominican Republic. Thick smoke was billowing
                 over the area, and local media reported several
                 houses on fire.

Witnesses report the right side of the plane being on fire before it hit the ground.

Two crash sites apparently - one for the main body, one for an engine.

246 passengers and 9 crew on board.

Doesn't look like a terrorist attack a la WTC from what people are saying.

That's what I was thinking dowding. If it was a bomb, you wouldn't think the engine assy would get seperated...

If an engine explodes, and departs the aircraft, the aircraft is going down.  Think you right Hblair..time will tell...sad year for America.

An ATC friend just emailed me saying "Tower was talking to them the whole way down.  Trying to get him to a wooded area instead of a residential one"


Of course, none of this is confirmed.

Certainly looks like a 'normal' air disaster. Which under any other circumstances would be an odd thing to say.

Heh. What does it take to be a journalist these days? Certainly not attention to detail it would seem.

They just concentrate on the three S's - speculation, speculation, speculation...
