I came home from school today and was flipping around on tv and found out that there were uncomfirmed reports that a plane had hit a building in NYC...I hope this was an accident after the 9/11 attacks and I only live 20 mins from nyc and I can see the smoke from the roof of my house and many of my family live in nyc....please keep the people in nyc in your thoughts and prayers.

It looks to be a helicopter...Here in Connecticut we are IMC...Im sure NYC is the same...I have flown the hudson river cordor many of times, and when you are flying under the class B airspace it is crazy as can be...I cant imagine flying it today with these wx conditions...I am sure this is just a very unfortunate accident...It's pretty damn scary that most of us will never know when our last day will be

They are saying now that it was definatly a small fixed wing airplane.
THey found the landing gear on the sidewalk a few moments ago.
So far they say its NOT a terrorist attack, however that could change.

They are reporting that the A/C was on visual flight rules and not on instruments.
2 bodies have been found possibly the pilot/ passanger.

Hmmm a anonymous police source has told nbc that the plane made a HARD 90 degree right turn..
its totally specualation at this point but, it could have been several things to cause this from suicide to mechanical problems or maybe a medical problem.
only time will tell exactly what happened

I'm betting on a lone loony - like the young kid who crashed a small plane into a building shortly after 9-11.

On the ground here not far from Camp David.  Had some military jets fly by a while ago but didn't see what they were.

Dulles departures look stopped...had a few heavies takeoff and appear to fly right back toward IAD.  CNN.com showed a small fire but now that people will 'calm down' because it isn't a terrorist thing hopefully it'll be back to Business as Usual.

In fact just over my shoulder a hawker just departed so hopefully we'll get out of here too.

Goodluck to all of us
