Plane crashes into building in NYC (DOES NOT LOOK LIKE TERRORISM @ 1:59 P.M. CST)

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Accidents happen. I have intentionally stalled airplanes and sailplanes for practice/fun and they are basically uncontrollable till you get enough airflow and lift re-established. A major cause of small plane accidents are unintentional stalls...both low speed and high speed stalls...Where that plane was he wouldn't have any choice BUT to hit a building if he screw up...and mistakes/mechanical failures do happen...don't automatically assume it was terrorists.

An eyewitness said it looked like it was a stall, so yeah.

[ducks]

if it was not an accident they would have attacked someplace else to kill more people so people would assume it was terrioust

[ABDENOUR POWER]

AP says small aircraft.

Don't put words in my mouth.

I don't mean to sound like a here but I think it will come off as such but I'll say it anyway. If it was a terrorist (which I don't think it is), then he/she did a pretty weak ass job on this one. I mean, a small plane into an apartment building in the middle of the day. It's almost amazing that even 1 person was killed, and that was from debris, and the other was in the plane.

Had to be an accident or a suicide aimed at being "remembered"......terrorists aren't this small minded. I don't think so anyway.

Go Broncos.

Yeah, I know, just wanted to throw it out there.

ESPN just broke in. He was apparently the pilot.

[DisgruntledLionFan#54,927]

Dead serious. ESPNews is reporting it.

[katyon6th]

Suicide?

[ducks]

First responders to the New York plane crash say an emergency call was made from the plane indicating a possible fuel problem.

The plane is registered to NY Yankee Cory Lidle who was scheduled to be flying home for the off-season

[johnsmith]

Holy ? Maybe he was still upset about the Yankees loss........bad taste, I know.

Lidle's passport found on street.

Damn, that really sucks. I doubt this was a suicide attempt.

Hey, like you said, you beat me to it.

The only way I think it would be proved a suicide is if A-Rod was on the plane with him.
