Quote from CNN:

"An American Airlines 767 has crashed in the Queens borough of New York City. Port Authority officials say the plane was bound for JFK airport. Thick black smoke was billowing over the area, and local media reported several houses on fire. FULL STORY SOON"

This maybe an accident and not related to terrorism. But we have to wait and see.

Read some more about eyewitness reports on exploding engines on the plane, and no indications on terrorist acts..

An American Airlines Airbus 300 crashed into a residential section of Queens.

It siunds like all the airports in NVC are closed. Bridges in and out of NYC are supposedly closed as well according to the news.

The plane left JFK airport and was headed to Santa Domingo.

So far, no foul play is suspected (thankfully).

Flight 587 (Just adeed that)

2 Crash sites it is said.

Remember TWA flight 800? Remember how there were literally dozens of eyewitness reports of something missile like hitting the plane?

What if that was a terrorist attck, and the exploding fuel line was just a load of hoohockey to keep the public calm? With such a small terrorist attack, they could make it seem like a normal crash.

What if the plane was really shot down with a stinger missile like the speculation said?

Four buildings on fire, no reports of survivors on UK television.
Any more news on US TV?

I guess we're all thinking about Bin Ladens threat to "Rain down planes"

US TV (FOXNews and CNN) say 12 buildings on fire and an engine fell off before the rest of the plane crashed.

12 buildings!!!!
Oh my God.

BBC1 In the UK, has turned over regular programmes to cover this latest tragedy in NYC.

They are talking about birdstrike now, but these Airbuses have a good record?

What could make an engine fall off?
I doubt a birdstrike would do so much damage?

i have been following the news on CNN and it seems that it MIGHT not be a terrorist attack.there are 246 passengers and 9 crew members onboard.a coincidence that it happened at teh same New york City where the WTC incident took place 2 months ago.this incident happened at a sub-urban area.it looks like the plane might have problems with the engine or something.the cause is still unknown.they have not ruled out any possibility yet.

guys,
I am in Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic right now. This is where the flight was headed. Pretty bad scene here - not much offical news. Family members are arriving at Las Americas International Airport (flight was scheduled to touch down at 11:59 EST) - and passing out as they are informed. AA officials seem to be leaning towards a "mechanical failiure" story - although they wont say it officially (based on local TV). Im switching between local (Dominican) TV coverage and CNN (cable). I really do hope that this has nothing to do with terrorism. It won't make it any easier for the families, but that way it may facilitate the "what do we do now questions" that are part of a tragedy like this.
Ill try to post any relevant or new info as it breaks.
At this moment a good buddy working at AA says it doesnt seem like a terrorist attack.

Watch for Bin Ladin take credit for it, that sick bastered!! That or he'll say his god did it.

It's a damn shame that we have watch for terrorist boarding planes but now we watch have to watch out for the fuckin mechanics who check these planes before flight.

Not to sound like I am thinking of money, but this could be the death nail of the flying industry.

These retards are really annoying with they "allah is making this happen" bullshit.
Like Allah is making the Jews and Christians attack the Muslims so that the Muslims can rise up and band together, like some holy special olympics event. Anyone read the articles in the NY Times about ow the Afghani children are often crippled by their parents so that they can be more lucretive beggars? Like they'll chop off the kids hands or bind their heads into deformed shapes so that people feel sorry and toss a few coins. That's Islam, baby.
