Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / October 2006Plane Crash Update
Hi everyone. Yes, when you first hear it, it's a great shock. But we are hearing everywhere now that there is no evidence that this was a terrorist attack of any kind. A small private plane flew into a high rise building on the Upper East Side of Manhattan about two hours ago. So far, there are two people known dead. There was a fire in the building, which is now out. It seems that it was a terrible accident. Details are coming out little by little.

It does seem awfully chilling that it occurred on the 11th, though, doesn't it? Why are planes allowed to fly in the vicinity of skyscrapers to begin with?? Joyce > > Hi everyone.

It seems that he was flying and was one of the people who died. His death is not more important than anyone else's, of course, but it is somewhat more poingnant because I know that he leaves behind a lovely little family. Of course, any of the unknown victims might have also left a family and I grieve for them all. Will in New Haven -- We say goodby a lot this time of day. The sun is going down; the shadows grow too long. We knew the day would end but still, We say goodby too much this time of day.

Yes, amazingly, there were two people in the part of the bulding crashed into, and they escaped. And if the plane had crashed about ten seconds earlier, it would have gone into the UN.

Particularly given that a woman was in one of the apartments, saw the plane about to hit, and ran for her life, getting out just in time.  SignatureJohn F.

Nobody has said whether there were any pets in the apartments, I hope not.

Sometimes people goof, sometimes they're showing off, sometimes they have a problem with the plane. There was an unconfirmed report that he might have swerved to avoid hitting another plane. In private pilot ground school, they taught us that 95% of all plane crashes are caused by pilot errors. There are a lot of errors a pilot can make, and sometimes it takes only one. Other times, you may be lucky. Joy |
